That is, until she’s approached with a job: kill the heir to the Vipers — a renowned gang located in North-Side — and she shall be rewarded. Alas, Shane Adamos is not all he seems, but neither is Anastasia. A fact they both find out swiftly, rushing into a world of twisted lies, forbidden lust, and sickening betrayal.

What an amazing start to 2025! The premise of this book is incredible and it was executed amazingly.
This is a captivating read that had me hooked from the start. The author intricately weaves together a suspenseful dark romance book about gang rivals, assassins and so so much more. The writing style is both descriptive and emotional, which made me be fully immersed in the book.
The characters are all well rounded and essential to the story line, my favourite is Anastasia, I love her character, she’s a boss bitch, gets things done and makes sure no one ever underestimates her. She’s a force to be reckoned with and I LOVE it. I do really like Shane as well, he’s also a strong character and someone you don’t want to mess with.
The book had twists and turns, some I guessed and some I didn’t, either way it’s still an incredible book! The suspense and tension are well maintained which kept me on the edge of my seat. And the ending?? I need book 2 in my life asap 😂
Overall, I really really liked this book, the plot was incredible and so were the characters. An amazing dark romance, so if that’s your kind of thing along with gangs, assassins, slow burn and so much more then you’ll love this.

What a debut.
Kenzo Ash does a great job at juggling dark with snarky. I am absolutely bananas for a strong FMC, and Anastasia absolutely doesn't disappoint.
Strong, intelligent, determined, and absolutely lethal, Anastasia plays by no one's rules, but hers.
Shane is torn between duty and family, and for him, family and duty are at least two strands of his DNA.
Anastasia knows no family in the true sense, even though hers is prominent and loud.
Shane only knows family first, himself second.
So when these two forces clash, sparks ensue. And pools of blood.
I'm beyond excited for the next book in the series. THAT ENDING, my god.
Definitely recommend for a dark, twisted book, and a FMC that's ready to take over the world while she sips her extra lime daiquiri.

I had my suspects and I'm glad at least one was right! That cliffhanger though! I can't wait to read the second one!

Great debut novel about enemies forced to work together in an institution for young criminals. Rival gang heirs and a few spicy scenes. Looking forward to part 2
