Dark and twisted

Another dark, twisted and gritty addition to this series. The intrigue and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. So many lies, uncovered truths and growth found in this story. I enjoyed every single moment.

Insane!!!

What am I doing still listening? Because it's the edge of your seat needing to know what happens next!!!

It's got my attention.

The excitement of the story

Much drama and intrigue with Rafael and Isa, which I like very much. Ready for the next read.

the devil

what can I say about this series again it is dark and it does have a lot of triggers to it but I cannot wait to see the wrath of Raphael no one should * ever mess with the queen I cannot wait to see the conclusion of this series again wonderful narrators they really bought this story to life the author your story is just superb

Queen in the making

I think we started to get some great character development and story progression in this one. Isa is starting to come into her own a bit more in her new life with Rafe and realizing that she really wants to be the queen to his king in this mafia world. I love that Rafe is supportive of her suppressed blood thirstiness that she has especially after realizing that she’s pregnant — oh yes, we finally got that baby Rafe has been determined to get. We back where all began — Chicago — and I was really cold to see Isa meet some of the Bellandi clan throughout the story. We also get a look into more of what happened with Isa and her sister, Odina. Her twin might be the most disgusting character I have ever ever come across in a book recently, and I want to slap her across the face. I also feel her disconnect with her family, but I do think it was time for her to sort of stretching her wings and making decisions for herself. Of course we get another crazy cliffhanger as well!

5 You’ll Always Be My Night Sky STARS

Rafe and Isa’s past connects them in more ways than one. Rafe keeps secrets from Isa and while I understand some, others I don’t. It left me wanting to smack him in one minute and hug him the next. No doubt Rafe will do whatever is necessary to protect Isa even while incurring her wrath. Isa fights and tries to push back but Rafe is a bulldozer. The ultimate question is can Isa forgive and move past the things Rafe does when it comes to her family? I can’t wait to start the next book and find out. After that cliffy I think my heart will break for Isa.

I can't believe I'm getting pulled into this. I'm really glad I'm giving the series a second chance with the audios. They really are good.
