This book was full of action, spice and lots of secrets! I was hooked from the beginning and could not put it down! Britt you nailed it and I can’t wait for the next book with that freaking ending and cliff hanger.

Emma is a freaking BADASS! She will not be controlled and she will do her own thing. She is fierce, confident, beautiful, smart, and the girl can freaking race. But sheesh, how much can she take? It seemed like every other second another huge bomb was being dropped on her, but that Queen kept her crown on straight.

Ace…whew! He is sexy, protective, obsessive, in charge, possessive and will do whatever he has to keep his wife safe. He sees her as his equal and I loved that. He didn’t want to cage her, but to lift her up, but he also wants to keep her safe. He may struggle with his devil side coming out, but he has a softer side when it comes to Emma. And the mouth on that man. Whew!

These two together are EVERYTHING!! The banter was perfection! The chemistry was smoking hot and electric. They were meant to rule together and a force that is stronger together. And Bear…I am loving him!!! I can not wait for more of him.

Prepare to fall in love with these characters, hate some of them, swoon over them, and say WTF several times! Your jaw will hit the floor. And then prepare to be begging for the next book with the cliffhanger…

Britt Lynn's Dare You to Catch Me delivers a high-octane blend of mafia intrigue and simmering romance, and it largely succeeds in its ambitious premise.

Our protagonist, a mafia heiress who'd rather be tearing up the race track than navigating the treacherous world of her family's business, is a breath of fresh air. Her rebellious spirit shines through, making her both relatable and incredibly compelling. Forced into a role she never wanted, with a constant target on her back, her internal struggle and determination to forge her own path are genuinely engaging.

Enter Ace, the "storm" the blurb promised. His return definitely shakes things up, bringing a potent mix of tension and undeniable chemistry with our heroine. Their dynamic is fiery, packed with witty banter and a push-pull that keeps you guessing. The romance develops with a good pace, keeping the reader invested in their complex connection amidst the chaos.

Lynn does an excellent job of weaving together the dangerous world of the mafia with the personal struggles of her characters. The pacing is generally tight, particularly during the action sequences and confrontations, which are thrilling. The underlying mystery of who wants our heiress dead adds a compelling layer of suspense, keeping the pages turning.

While the chemistry between the leads is undeniable, I occasionally wished for a little more depth in their individual backstories or some of the secondary characters. A few plot points, while exciting, felt a touch convenient at times, but never enough to pull me out of the story completely.

Overall, Dare You to Catch Me is a thrilling ride that delivers on its promise of a strong heroine, dangerous romance, and gripping suspense. If you're looking for a fast-paced mafia romance with a heroine who refuses to be a pawn and a hero who's a force of nature, this book is definitely worth picking up. I'm eager to see what Britt Lynn has in store next!

ARC Review

Britt, you have made my whole week, and I'm absolutely in love with you! I didn't realize how much I needed this book in my life, but now I can't imagine it without it. This is definitely my favorite read by you so far, and I am so ready for more—especially after that cliffhanger that absolutely destroyed me!

The chemistry between Emma and Ace is electric, filled with tension and passion that kept me on the edge of my seat. Their "catch me" games are not just playful; they reveal so much about their characters and the depth of their relationship. I loved how Emma navigates her responsibilities as a Mafia heiress while trying to retain her own identity.

But let's be real—I need a scene with Bear like, really badly! The dynamic between Ace and Bear has so much potential for exploration with Emma, and I can't help but imagine the intensity that could unfold.

Overall, this book has everything: suspense, romance, and a fierce protagonist who's not afraid to confront her dark reality. I can't wait to see what you have in store next!

I loved this so much! This has everything I love about mafia romance, an intense and thrilling plot, full of surprising plot twists, and angst that strains the soul. I also loved the racing element! I think this is the first book I’ve read with a street racing trope and I love it! This arranged marriage plot is great, her childhood friend Ace comes back and despite their amazing chemistry, they find out that both of them have changed in unimaginable ways. However is it really an arranged marriage, if their marriage was set up for failure? A morally grey mafia boss mmc and a sassy fmc who’s more than what he bargained for, a match made in heaven? Or perhaps hell? Either way I loved the pairing, especially how Emma challenges Ace’s protectiveness and controlling nature. There’s so much to their story and many secrets of the mafia world that change their lives forever. This plot was so thrilling and intense, and I’ve read a lot of mafia romance but this plot was so deep. The plot twists came one after the other, turning my world upside down again and again. But the cliffhanger that this book ended on? Freakin gorgeous. I hated it, and was screaming my lungs out, but it was honestly genius and I never would’ve expected it. I loved the characters! Ace is my man! He’s whipped from the start, overprotective as hell (which makes a great plot when it pisses her off), and is dark as you find out later in the book, he has a bit of a psychopath side that I love! Emma is so great, yes I new she would be a fierce and strong af fmc but she shocked me on a different level. She’s the definition of girlboss, but like all mafia princesses she has a lot of trauma and I’m sure this is only the start of it. I’m curious to see how she deals with it and whether Ace will step up his game. I’m so excited for the next book. I loved and give it a 5/5

🔪 When our FMC gets her revenge on... 🩸

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5

We have our MMC Ace who is just that bad boy mafia type get your panties soaked 🤭 kind of fella. He’s different from most mafiosos, treats our FMC like she’s his equal. He’s her protector, and will k!ll anyone who hurts her.

Emma our FMC she’s had a rough upbringing, being raised by her Pop (grandfather) who shows her the way of the mafia, trains her to defend herself, and best of all teachers her how to race. She’s destined to be the queen of her fathers Empire, an Empire she never wanted . Little does she know her father has an ulterior motive.

They are a force to be reckoned with, both twisted, and dark and seeking revenge.

But that side character I can’t wait to see what becomes of him 😏.

✨ "Catch me if you can." I absolutely love the thrill of the chase!! - Who doesn’t love a sexy female race car driver?! 🥵

The FMC? A fierce queen who refuses to take anyone’s BS—especially when it comes to protecting herself and her King. 👑🔥

And Ace… The ultimate MMC. Strong, protective, and absolutely ruthless when it comes to anyone who dares cross him, his baby girl, or their empire.

The chemistry? Off. The. Charts. The spice? SPICING. 🌶️✨

And that cliffhanger?! I need book 2 like a race car needs an engine!! 😭📚

When I started this book there was a small fraction of "yea I know what I'm getting into." Nope that thought was completely wrong. This book took my heart on a roller-coaster and was it an amazing ride. Emma the Mafia queen to be is a street racer that has fire in her eyes and oil in her veins. Ace is the Mafia king his father always wanted him to be. These two wouldn't you know it BAM arranged marriage. She says no he pulls her in. But there are deadly plans and dangerous secrets no one is ready for. Start your engines and getting ready to go cause this will be a bumpy ride! Book 1 of 2. Are you ready?

Wow!!! This was a fast paced, plot twisting, gripping the edge of your seat read.

I liked the strong and independent streak in Emma. She is Sassy as fuck. She had me saying “yes girl!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽”

I liked the alpha vibes Ace gives off, he can tell me what to do any day 😏 or try 🤣

Upon finishing I was like okay I need book two NOW!

“If you have no triggers this book is for you, enjoy your adrenaline chasing, psychotic state of mind. This is not your normal mafia romance. Enjoy the Fuckin' Ride!”


Favourite quotes-


“I just need some air to myself and fill my soul with speed, so I am doing that”


“You are one deeply twisted Queen, Baby Girl, you make me proud.”


“Licking his fingers clean, his words escape his throat as a whisper, but full of possession. “So sweet, so perfect. Mine.”

Whew where do I begin with this book? Britt definitely needs to continue to write mafia romance because this book had me hooked from start to finish.

Emma as a FMC was wonderful. I love how she did her own thing and wouldn't let people control her. Charles? I definitely didn't like him at all. If I was in the book he would be the first to go.

Ace? MMH my favorite character there was in the book. He is dominant, knows how to protect a girl, and is the ultimate book boyfriend.

I completely devoured this book and loved seeing the incorporation of Emma's car and street racing. You could see how important it was to her and her pops.

The cliffhanger at the end when she was with Bear left me needing so much more. I highlighted so many quotes in this book and will be waiting for what is to come next!

ARC Review: OMG! This book was amazing from the first page to the last page. Ace and Emma are the perfect couple and I was in love with their story. Starting from the first time they lock eyes at their reunion I knew they were going to fall hard for each other. And the way he protects her…had my heart beating so hard in my chest. And the way she falls for him…honestly I wanted to cry with her at points. The amount of betrayal they both endured (not from each other) was appalling and I was shocked as each new betrayal was brought to light. The fact that Emma races made me love her even more and when Ace finally gives in and lets her race, I fell even more in love with him. But the ending….My jaw is still on the floor! I cannot wait for book 2!!!!

I received an ARC of Dare You to Catch Me and wow...what a trip! This fast-moving Mafia romance is packed with plenty of suspense, action and spice! The thrills never end! Emma is preparing to take over the Beckett Mafia empire from her father and is forced by him into an arranged marriage with Ace, a childhood friend who has been away training for years to take the reins of his own family's Mafia business. Their fathers arrange for them to be married so they can combine the Beckett and Collins family empires and take over the city.

Emma’s father is an unloving, abusive man and she wants nothing to do with him or the family business. She prefers street racing in her “Beauty” muscle car that she built with her grandfather, the man who pretty much raised her and showed her the ropes of running the empire as she was growing up.

Emma and Ace clearly feel an attraction to each other right from the beginning, and through several intense plot twists and turns that you don’t see coming, they end up actually falling in love...but their lives become tangled in a wild mess of street racing, gangs, gunfire, murder and mayhem. It’s not ALL bad though...there’s some serious spice between them!

Emma - “I finally start to look at Ace, my eyes trailing up his body, his perfectly tailored suit, the tattoos sneaking from the cuff of his shirt over his hand and up his neck. When my eyes meet those gorgeous blue eyes, I feel like my knees could give out. Fuck, he’s like a fucking God”.

Ace - “I will burn this city to the fucking ground if something happens to her and that feeling has only intensified now as I hold her in my arms”.

The plot is just one thrill after another and the hits just keep rolling as this dangerously unhinged duo try to rise to the top and become the most powerful Mafia king and queen in the country! It ends on a cliffhanger that may make you want to throw a tantrum, and now I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Emma – As my nipples harden, his tongue slides up the shell of my ear before back down, then he whispers in my ear. “You want to play games, Baby Girl, then bring them on”.

Ace – “She’s got my dick throbbing in my pants with her Catch Me shit. Baby Girl, you want me to chase you, alright, I’ll chase you. But when I catch you, you better be ready.”

This book had everything I love about mafia romance—intensity, high-stakes drama, soul-crushing angst, and plot twists that hit like a punch to the gut. From the very first page, I was hooked. The story was fast-paced and thrilling, with an emotional depth that set it apart from other mafia reads I’ve devoured.

One of my favorite surprises? The street racing element! I’ve never read a mafia romance with that trope before, and I’m officially obsessed. It added such a unique and adrenaline-fueled dynamic to an already explosive plot.

The arranged marriage storyline was captivating, especially with the return of Emma’s childhood friend, Ace. Their chemistry was undeniable, but the tension? Off the charts. Both of them have changed in ways neither expected, and watching them navigate that while being bound by a marriage that felt doomed from the start was so satisfying. Is it really an arranged marriage if it's been set up to fail? That question lingered in my mind long after I finished.

Ace is the epitome of a morally grey mafia boss—overprotective, possessive, a bit unhinged (in the best way), and totally whipped from the start. Emma doesn’t make it easy for him either. She’s sassy, sharp, and refuses to be controlled, challenging him at every turn. Their dynamic was electric. Emma might be a mafia princess with a traumatic past, but she’s also a force of nature. Fierce, fearless, and full of surprises—I adored her.

And the plot twists? Unrelenting. Just when I thought I had a grip on the story, it twisted again, leaving me gasping. I’ve read a lot of mafia romance, but this plot had serious depth and complexity. Every secret revealed changed everything, and the stakes just kept rising.

Now let’s talk about that cliffhanger. It wrecked me—in the best possible way. I hated it and loved it at the same time. It was brutal, unexpected, and honestly? Brilliant.

Ace and Emma are pure chaos and chemistry, and I cannot wait to see how their story continues. With so many secrets still buried and a relationship teetering between heaven and hell, the next book can’t come soon enough.

🌟 Rating: 5/5 Stars
🔥 Spice: 5/5 Heat
📚 Genre: Dark Mafia Romance / Arranged Marriage / Street Racing
🎯 “She doesn’t need saving. She’s already planning the takeover.”

Dare You to Catch Me is a gritty, high-stakes thrill ride wrapped in a dark romance that bleeds danger, deception, and downright delicious smut. This isn’t your average mafia princess story—it’s slick, it’s smart, and it’s soaked in gasoline and lust.

Emma is the kind of FMC we crave: underestimated by everyone, underestimated by design. They all think she’s just a pawn in a male-dominated world, but Emma? Emma holds all the aces. She’s a street racer, a strategist, and a storm in stilettos. Her car isn’t just her escape—it’s her sanctuary, her weapon, and her freedom.

Then there’s Ace. The brooding, dangerous man she’s forced to marry in a play for power. But Ace isn’t just dark and deadly—he’s possessive, protective, and just as obsessed with Emma’s strength as her body. Watching these two collide is like watching a match hit gasoline: they don’t fall in love, they burn for it.

The plot is layered and razor-sharp—full of mafia politics, betrayal, secrets that go generations deep, and a slow unraveling of the city’s darkest truths. With Bear—the ride-or-die side character we didn’t know we needed—their trio forms a powerhouse alliance that flips the game on everyone.

And the smut? Unholy.
This is not just fade-to-black. This is raw, dominant, filthy spice with tension that makes you ache. Scenes in garages, against walls, in stolen moments of chaos—each one ramped up with the weight of their power struggle and obsession.

🔥 Tropes & Highlights:
• Arranged marriage but enemies-to-lovers tension
• Powerful, underestimated mafia princess
• Protective, possessive MMC with a violent streak
• Street racing + weapons-grade banter
• Twisted found family vibes
• Secrets, betrayals, and a war for the city
• Obsession that turns to love but never loses its edge
• Graphic, dominant spice with consent-driven kink

This book is for the girls who love their heroines sharp and their men unhinged. For readers who want plot and spice in equal measure. For the dark romance lovers who scream “touch her and die” before the MMC even gets the chance.

Dare You to Catch Me is what happens when you take adrenaline, betrayal, and unmatched chemistry—and slam on the gas.

Dare You To Catch Me by Britt Lynn is a high-octane, dark romance that grabs you by the throat and does not let go. It’s gritty, emotional, sexy, and absolutely addicting.

Emma, a street-racing mafia heiress, is fierce, flawed, and unforgettable. She never wanted the empire her family built—but once she’s thrown into the fire, she embraces the darkness to survive. And then there’s Ace—her childhood friend turned dominant, possessive mafia king. Their reunion sparks into something feral and fiery.

Britt Lynn balances raw emotional storytelling with steamy, pulse-pounding tension. The betrayal, the secrets, the revenge—it’s all masterfully done. Emma’s character arc from soft-hearted girl to ruthless queen was one of my favorite parts. And Ace? The kind of MMC who’s deadly to the world but soft for one girl only.

The quotes? ICONIC:

You are one deeply twisted Queen, Baby Girl, you make me proud.”

“So sweet, so perfect. Mine.”



If you like morally gray characters, touch-her-and-die energy, mafia tension, street racing, and women who rise from ashes with blood on their hands—this book is your next obsession.

Content warnings: Violence, murder, emotional trauma, betrayal, revenge. Check all TWs before reading.

Final thoughts: Gritty, intense, and sinfully addictive.

This book was so good—like, drop-everything-and-devour-it good! I'm an absolute sucker for strong, badass female leads, and when she's a clever street racer wrapped in a mafia romance? Say. No. More. I was hooked.

Emma stole the show from page one. She’s fierce, underestimated, razor-sharp, and utterly fearless behind the wheel. The kind of FMC you can’t help but root for and admire. I need more heroines like her in my life!

And then there’s Ace… brooding, dangerous, completely possessive and protective—and obsessed with Emma in the most magnetic way. Their chemistry? Off the charts. Every interaction crackled with tension and heat. The way their relationship developed had me flipping pages like mad.

Also, shoutout to Bear—I am so ready to learn more about him. He’s the kind of character you know is going to get his moment, and I’ll be first in line for it. (Still would love it to be a why choose :P)

The plot was fast-paced, full of twists, secrets, and so much fun (and spice!). Britt Lynn did such a phenomenal job creating a story that’s equal parts gritty and addicting, and that cliffhanger? I need book two ASAP!

Thank you, Britt Lynn, for this incredible ARC. I already know I’ll be re-reading this one while I wait for the next!

Dark mafia meets street racers?! Yes!

Emma, mafia princess and the sole heiress to her father’s casinos. She grew up without her mother to help guide her and an overbearing aggressive father who kept her from the dark sides of the business. Her grandfather taught her bits and pieces about their world but more importantly, he taught her street racing! When he dies she’s left without his comfort and protection and vows to get out of the restraints mafia life would have of her. Including never marrying for less than love.

Ace, grows up knowing the dark side of mafia life. Raised to inherit his father’s business he’s shown the dark sides of the life. Spending most of his teen years in Russia raised with his best friend and house keepers.

Emma and Aces paths are meant to cross, their fathers are business partners. But when they decide to marry them to secure the future, things get complicated.

Ace is dead set on having Emma and Emma wants out. There story twists and turns through obstacles, death threats and of course the streets and sheets!

Can Emma out run her obligations and escape the mafia world? Only if Ace can catch her!

A High-Speed, High-Stakes Romance That Leaves You Begging for More


Right now, I’m full of feelings—the good kind and the frustrated kind that come from finishing a book with a brutal cliffhanger. I adored this story. I adore Emma to death. Ace is pure fire—fierce passion, unwavering loyalty, and completely devoted to his girl. And just when you think Britt can’t top herself... enter Bear. Game over. I need book two yesterday.

Emma wants nothing to do with the world she was born into. Her focus is singular: her car, her racing, and the plan she’s been chasing for years. But then Ace returns—no longer a boy, but a man trained to take his place as the king of a world she’s tried to forget. And who better to reign beside him than her?

This book has everything: betrayal, secrets, lust, heartbreak, and the kind of unexpected love that hits you like a punch to the gut. The emotional stakes are just as high as the adrenaline-fueled moments, and Britt balances them perfectly.

Book one was wild… and that ending? It wrecked me. I’m dying to know what comes next.

Aww… you can't just leave me hanging like that!

I have a soft spot for a badass FMC. And Emma? She's a spitfire. A savage. A sick, twisted queen who wears her crown with blood and attitude 👑

And then there's Ace... A childhood friend turned something else entirely. But how do you even describe a man who's never been taught love… yet still burns for it anyway?
He doesn't say it. He bleeds it. Quiet, brutal, and dangerous 🖤

When Ace and Emma collide?
Empires crumble. Enemies fall. Secrets explode. And loyalty? Tested until it snaps. You'll question every alliance. Every move 💀⚔️

And Bear? Do I want more of that brutal and chaotic man? Hell yes! 100%. No crumbs. Feed me everything 😏

⚠️🏎️💥 Wear your seat belt and check the trigger warnings. This ride is built for chaos. Don't expect guardrails. Just speed, screams, trauma, and a twisty road that leaves you wrecked. Your mental health matters 🌼

A 5☆ read, and the road wasn't the only thing she dominated. He was just another curve she handled without mercy 🏎💦

“You wanna know? Then Catch me, if you can."

Ace, you stole my heart. Emma, you are a complete badass & I LOVE IT.

Ace is protective, obsessive, and devoted to keeping Emma safe. He controls everything, except Emma. Instead, he sees her as his equal, lifts her up & tries to always do right by her.

Emma doesn't want to feel trapped. She is her own person & will go toe to toe with anyone who tries to tell her differently. Her car is her life & I absolutely LOVE that it's an FMC obsessed racing & not just an MC. It's almost as if the whole world is against her. We've all felt that, but like a queen, she smashes through every obstacle in her way.

The action, the spice, the secrets... It's all incredible!!

Ace & Emma are a force to be reckoned with when they are together. But we can't forget about my man Bear!!!

I need his book, his life, more than oxygen!!! I rarely fall for a side character this quickly, but I did with him!

The cliff is so so worth it & I cannot wait for book two!!

This is definitely my favorite read by you so far, and I am so ready for more—especially after that cliffhanger that absolutely destroyed me!

The chemistry between Emma and Ace is electric, filled with tension and passion that kept me on the edge of my seat with my heart beating way to fast..

Their "catch me" games are not just playful; they reveal so much about their characters and the depth of their relationship. I loved how Emma navigates her responsibilities as a Mafia heiress while trying to retain her own identity.

Emma our FMC she’s had a rough upbringing, being raised by her Pop (grandfather) who shows her the way of the mafia, trains her to defend herself, and best of all teachers her how to race. However the last piece given to her by him means the most in the world to her.

She’s destined to be the queen of her father’s Empire, an Empire she never wanted . Little does she know her father has an ulterior motive.

Emma - Prepares herself to take over her fathers empire, one that she never wanted. Emma's childhood friend returns home, she is set to marry her childhood friend. Can Emma fall for her childhood friend or will her duty as the Mafia Heiress take over?

Ace - Returns back home, he is set to marry his childhood friend to take over the empire, only he finds himself in a difficult position when his childhood friend is to be his wife, can he keep her Mafia Heiress at bay or will the racer inside her take over?

This is a beautifully written dark romance novel, one which had twists and turns.

The chemistry between Emma and Ace is delicous!
It is an amazing read about a female racer who is a Mafia Heires.

The way this author portrays her characters and storyline is amazing, this book caught me hook line and sinker, this hands down is one of my favourite reads of 2025.

This is not the first novel by this author I have read and I can honestly say it will not be the last of her books I'll be reading.

If you like a dark romance novel, with a fiesty FMC who is a car racer but who is also a Mafia Heiress, then this book is for you!
It does end on a cliffhanger, I can't wait for book 2.

🏁 ARC Review.. Dare You To Catch Me By Britt Lynn


This officially become my new favorite book by Britt! I can’t believe how much I loved it. This is hands down one of the best mafia romances I’ve come across! Seriously, Britt knows how to weave a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Emma and Ace are such an incredible duo! Their chemistry is off the charts, and the banter between them? Absolutely delightful! I found myself laughing and swooning at the same time. I’m completely obsessed with these two characters; they feel so real and relatable.

And let’s talk about the plot twists! Just when I thought I had things figured out, the story took a wild turn that kept me guessing. It was like going on a rollercoaster ride with all the ups and downs that make for an unforgettable experience.

Thank you Britt for allowing me to read and review ❤️❤️

She’s the mafia heiress.
He’s the storm from her past.
And together… they’re pure combustion.
Taking over her father’s empire was never part of Emma’s plan. She was born to race — not to follow the rules of a world where trust is weakness and desire can be deadly.
But everything changes when Ace returns home.
The boy she once knew is now a dangerous man with eyes that promise both pleasure and destruction.
Bound by an arranged marriage, surrounded by lies, betrayal, and deadly secrets, Emma is forced to play a game where survival means embracing the fire inside her.
Because anyone who dares to chase her… better be ready to burn.

✨ A story pulsing with adrenaline, tension, and WTF-worthy twists.

💣 The chemistry between Emma and Ace is off the charts — intense, magnetic, and impossible to resist.

💥 Get ready for a heart-pounding ride, fueled by danger… and desire.

Holy hot damn 🥵 Daddy Ace for the freaking win! New book husband unlocked! He’s dangerous, protective and possessive and has the most perfect touch her and d*e vibes. The tension and chemistry is off the freaking charts. The spice is so delicious. This book is a fun fast paced action filled read that had me sitting on the edge of my seat anxious waiting to see what is going to happen next. There are so many secrets and betrayal and a few plot twist I so did not see coming! My jaw literally dropped. Emma is one badass Queen! She is tough as hell, sassy, and matched Ace’s crazy perfectly! My heart broke for her but the way she just keeps going amazes me. Then that freaking ending!! I am now sitting here freaking out. I am not going to be able to stop thinking about this until we get book 2.

Fast Cars, Twisted Hearts & Cliffhangers

Okay besties, let’s talk Dare You To Catch Me by Britt Lynn. This one had serious potential—fast cars, solid plot twists, and enough tension to keep the pages turning. The car racing scenes? 🔥 Loved those. And that cliffhanger? Rude... but effective. I wanted to be obsessed, but something didn’t fully click—Emma just didn’t pull me in emotionally, which made it hard to root for her. Ace has that moody, magnetic MMC energy, though, and I’m definitely intrigued by what’s coming next. The spice was fine, the drama was there, and I’ll be checking out Book 2 because I NEED answers. Just a heads-up: check those trigger warnings first. This ride gets intense.
