Tartarus Mafia #2
Raine
Living in the world of the Tartarus Mafia, I was raised to be anything but weak, and I’ve had the most debased and depraved men show me the ropes.
I've lost myself in countless men and women, drowned myself in every liquor and substance known to man, so I can numb the pain and suffocate my demons. I'm fun to be around, but I'm dangerous to love…
When I discover something my mother hid before she was murdered, I'm left wondering who I am as I uncover family truths and dark secrets that leave me spiraling and struggling to come to terms with the realities.
My life is a lie.
My world is built on betrayal, pain, and deception, smothered in debauchery and mayhem.
I’m Raine Voroniva, Princess of the Tartarus Mafia, and if anyone underestimates me, I’ll be sure to make an example of them by slitting their throat while they sleep.

My girl has done it again, Justyce was good but this one is even better! Raine is a badass, you totally feel everything with her. This is the perfect amount of action, feels and spice 🙌🏻💜 can't wait for the next instalment!

I don't know where to start.
I loved book 1, Justyce. But damn Raine is *chefs kiss*.
The self growth Raine through, the plot twists, the spice 🥵, heart break, emotions and those damn plot twists. I'm still recovering from them.

Wow this book has all the feels.. I fell in love with the world in the first book but this one… this one was everything. I loved it so much. Raine is so relatable and you really get to know all about her. Her strengths and weaknesses, you connect so deeply with her as a character and her as a woman who’s broken. Her actions and reactions are all justified by who she is, her character is so well built that you feel like you know her by the end of the book. Her ups and downs, leave you smiling and crying. She’s on of those characters that come alive from the pages, it’s amazing.
The plot of the book focuses heavily on Raines self discovery and healing of herself along with continuing the plot from the first book and the challenges they were already facing. There was nothing boring about this book by any means there was always something happening to keep you entertained. In terms of spice, well Raine is quite sexually prolific so the spice is frequent but always entertaining. The scenes are never the same and they are always descriptive and spicy so spice is up there at a 5/5. Overall, ugh I fell in love with this book. I can’t wait for the next one and I will forever recommend this book to anyone. I’m having withdrawals from it *wink wink*. Definitely a 5/5 read!

This Dark Mafia Romance hit me in all the feels.
Raine is fiesty, fierce and fighting so many internal battles. From the loss of her family and her growing up in the mafia, It’s not easy being the Mafia Princess. Raine has many addictions, whether it’s Drugs, Alcohol or Sex. Whatever takes it away and gives her calmness.
Finding more information that turns Raines world upside down and sends her world crashing even further. At the same time losing Arrows friendship, building a relationship with Archeron and following Justyce lead.
Whether it’s with a Female or male, Raine is very sexual and this is a very Spicy Dark Romance.
Absolutely loved every minute reading it. I am waiting on the edge of my seat for book 3. Omg!!!!! That Ending!!!!
Lena Moore you are absolutely amazing!!

Raine is a fantastic follow up book after Justyce, I really enjoyed getting to know Raine and experience her story. She captured my attention in the first book and I was super excited to get to read her story! I absolutely loved the spice in this book! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a dark spicy mafia romance. I do recommend reading Lena’s first book in the Tartarus Mafia Series as Justyce is also phenomenal!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ARC Review
Raine was full of bada** characters and spicy smut. If you want a strong female main character who overcomes personal problems for a better cause, Raine is your girl. Not only this, her male counterpart is flawed and a bad boy who breaks his shell while he's chipping at hers. The spice in this book is fun and there many different types of scenes. There are multiple spice tropes throughout the book. This is the second book in a series. I very much suggest reading the first book, Justyce, before this one. There are plot points that follow directly from the first book.
Please check the TW for this book prior to reading it. Mental health matters.

This book was weird - like nothing really happens in it? The FMC was cooked, like super bad decision making skills and more drug/alcohol use than I’ve ever come across before and more random person sex too. Having said all that- it was somehow really enjoyable? I’ve been reading a lot of random books out of series to finish my physical TBR and lots of series I won’t come back to but I think I actually will continue with this one. Spice was freaking top tier also 🥵 3.5 ⭐️

Mafia romance has my heart with this book. Raine is my spirit animal. She is fierce and a little crazy and so much fun. She's such Complex character who is navigating her crazy life as a mafia princess. She is so dynamic and intense. I was sucked into this plot and world from the first book but this one has my heart. The writing is so good and the characters even better. I can't wait to continue on in the Tartarus mafia world!

"Avernus may think he's is dangerous, but he's never met a woman who has everything to live for"
"...if you fuck with me, you fuck with all the men in my life. Game on mother fucker, we are coming for you"
"Whoever plays with fire gets burnt, and I'm about to be charred to a fucking crisp, and I can't fucking wait"
