“We come from the same darkness that no one else in the world belongs to.”

this is an angry rant and if you get offended pls idc; also when i calm down i probably will change me rating but idk for now it stays

I thought I was gonna love this because I gave the first book 4 stars, little did I fucking know. I loved most of rina kent’s books but this was painful. Even though I love seb with all my heart, I couldn’t stand anyone else (except for kai and all the previous characters from her other books). I give 5 stars for seb I cant stop loving him and him being in pain for 7 years fucking hurt my soul.

I made a whole ass fucking list of everything I hated so here it fucking goes:
1. The timeline: 7 years pass and I have zero fucking clue as to what is happening. Do I have to fucking guess? I get it that we should be sitting at the edge of our seats and see through the suspense but all these new fucking characters and relationships jump in with all that MAFIA knowledge?? I was so fucking confused and all this literally took away from the relationship development that should have happened. I mean really the whole thing was explained at the 80% mark. Im sorry but I was dying of confusion before I finally understood something.
2. The plot change: im sorry but how tf did that change? It went from a twisted college romance to this mafia(???) shit that was happening in the background. Im sorry wtf?
3. Akira: creeped me tf out honestly even though that shit is explained at the end (I didn’t find cute it was fucking creepy) im sorry but I was so fucking concerned for her bc this pen-pal shit scares me, this bitch knows her address and half the things he said I was pissing my pants.
4. Naomi: she did all this for what? No seriously she made this whole mess and she had the AUDACITY to get pissed and defensive. I didn’t care much for her in this book honestly her character change was the worst I’ve ever read in a while. Example:

“But I never thought we’d pick up right where we left off as if nothing had happened. yes you did, you big fat liar I never thought the mere touch of his skin on mine would set my world ablaze. LMAO how fucking naïve are you??? Of course, you knew It’s even more intense than when we were college kids.” ya and whose fault is that???? Bitch skipped out for 7 years and never explained anything

5. The cheating: even though I was happy for seb I hated what naomi had to say about it and I quote “It was just sex. People have it all the time.” excuse me?
6. Unbelievable things:
-the fact that she broke up with him and he didn’t have sex for 7 years even though he was heartbroken. How tf is that realistic? He doesn’t have to be a fucking monk and be this ideal fucking person to be with her.
-the ending, now that rina kent shoved up the mafia shit I was curious to see how tf will the leader be taken down… with a fucking SMALL LITTLE BLACK BOOK. You really think a mafia fucking leader will write all his fucking bad deeds in a small ass fucking journal? I don’t fucking think so. No no he’s also this big shot that has been a leader for like over 20 years. Im sorry but a lil girl with a lil black book cant save the day like that.
