mini blurb — ✍🏻
The conclusion of the Fallen God Duet. Right when he thought he said the last goodbye to his old life, Nero Rowan is pulled right back in to save Blake. But every action has their own consequences and his might just be the deadly type. Will New York remember the name of the infamous "Angel of Death"?

I still look the same—at least, I think I do—but sometimes, the way we’re perceived has nothing to do with our appearance.
There’s subtext swirling through the air.
A fallen god walks among us.

This is heavy on the consequences both Nero and Blake faces from the fact happened in the first book, Nero is forced to be back in his world, the world that he was born in it, forged and made him the man that he's now.
But I loved reading about is character development where he realized he might have romanticized the lifestyle and everything that means it. All that glitters is not gold, yeas he was feared and respected, he had a high position and status but was his life full the way it is now with Blake? Seems to me he was full of material shit that added nothing to him and now that he knows what means having Blake in is life, now that there's a crack between them and he lost the love she felt for him, he really understand what having a meaningless life means
But rest assured my man he's nothing if not relentless and his eyes sparks with love and determination to win her back, after all, now that there's no need to hide the "morally gray" part of him from her he's willing to try everything.

I enjoyed the little undercover/mission impossible/mr&mrs smith story, it was fun and it only added to the twist and tension 👀

Blake, my girl she went trough a blender lmao, she felt betrayed, scorned, lied to and manhandled against her will. She had every right to be pissed at him and plotting to get away every time the occasion presented himself. The girl had a plan and she too was willing to do everything to get the hell out of it.

But feelings, unfortunately, cannot be put aside 🥹❤️



This was the perfect conclusion, I loved reading about the new character introduced with the Ferraro Family, you had my curiosity in When She Loves but now you have my attention ✨👀✨

Alessio got me hooked from the start, I have a weak spot for the deranged ones lol
I know for sure the arranged marriage between Cosimo and Rafe's sis Fabiana is gonna deliver 🤌
Rob as usual ghosted everyone, he's too busy being a fuckboy lol
