crying my eyes out because why is that the ending 😭

[Danni Morgan x · Rating 5 out of 5]

The de Luca series has always held a very special place in my heart ever since I read it on Wattpad and killians story has always tugged at my heart strings poor baby boy just wanted his love. Jaclin out does herself every time she publishes a new book they are so special.

Killian De Luca’s tragic book is killed with love, loss and so many things in between and yes by the end of it you’ll be absolutely balling your eyes out but it’s completely worth it.

This book Broke my heart it shattered it Killian deserves at least one person he loves romantically not to died, he’s been through it. I’m so mad at Ace, Omg the newest characters when Luna asked about her mom (okay I’m crying now)

ARC Review ❤️
This book is one of the best good ever!
Killian has the best development ever LIKE EVER AS MMC!!! Mafia Romance this time has been so different from ALL OF BOOKS!!!! This is the first Mafia book that made me CRY!!!! Yes I sobbed a lot!! This book is UNPREDICTABLE!! And I love it!!! 🦋😭🩷!! The most beautiful thing was that all the way when Killian was 14 years old. He was so obsessed with Reign like it’s so crazy! I love the beginning.
Killian was going to a mission, for being a capi, he had to kill his love interest’s dad. So I thought he was going to kill Reign’s dad but never did. Instead it’s like he went to holiday just to spend time with Reign! The training with Reign, how he always ate breakfast and dinner with his family. I have always love it! And the way Killian got permission from Malchom to go to France for Reign to have her first mission, I’m pretty impressed! 🖤❤️‍🔥 I find it so amazing when Killian never left her side and even when he secretly was a Star in text for few years when they still were Teenagers. That’s why I love Mafia stories because family always stick together but this one is something else! Especially between Killian & Ace which it’s his dad that was the issue!! I haven’t even started to read their serie. I’m willing to and still want to indeed to know Ace & Aria’s love story! 🌸🎀
Okay let’s talk about their SMUT!!! I love it so much!!!! Especially with the Gun when Killian & Reign was playing Russian Roulette. I was so impressed over how she was so into it 🔥😳😨!!! And even fire play and how she was not scared AT ALL!! And also lots of spicy scenes where Killian wanted to give her love, naughty times and much more!! I will give 4,5 chills! 🌹I love how much Reign & Killian spent alot together, how Killian’s favourite colour was blue cause of the most beautiful eyes….everything he owned was like blue, blue car and he even wanted to make his airplane blue. It’s like the team colour was blue….and the way Reign loves stars with all passion. It’s so lovely and enjoyable to see how much she loves stars, I don’t blame her. Stars is the most beautiful creation, and fire makes warm, powerful and even also beautiful. So great combo I love it! There’s so many things I want to discuss in review cause this is the best ARC Copy I have ever read! Like it made me forget that I was reading. I literally watched A MOVIE IN MY HEAD!!!! So much it was so worth it 🦋🌸
Killian was the most cold, arsehole and much more till he became adorable, loving, amazing and the best development MMC! He deserved to feel loved after everything he have been through. I love him that I won’t forget him🌹❤️
I never expected to hate Ace so much in that book cause like a said he was the problem and always DIDNT THINK!!!? He wanted to kill Reign, FOR WHAT!!!? Cause she was a daughter, I don’t get him at all and yet…..I NEVER KNEW KILLIAN WAS DYING!! It was a big plot twist….i never ever thought about it and it’s so crazy cause that’s not these usual scenes I read in other books 💔💔!! And Reigh was dead……DEAD….I NEVER EVER THOUGHT IT WAS THAT PLOT TWIST! I was hoping she could get a new heart or something but as soon it was 3 years later…I was sobbing…..I’m so sad for KILLIAN and are in book hangover because of that ending….I will always love this book and I will read it again whenever I feel like crying or even want to read!! And I’m so glad that Killian would meet his daughter after few years. (yes Reign was pregnant with his baby and wanted to birth before the surgery ending up sacrificed her life) and yes KILLIAN cried, MEN CAN CRY! It’s like I was crying with him cause I don’t want him to feel alone all this, if I was his friend, I would have being there for him and never leave his side….🌹💔✨!! I want to talk more about this amazing book more and more cause argh it’s the best development I have ever read!
Jaclin Marie! Thank you so much for giving me this ARC, I will never forget it and can’t wait to be able to read more of your books! Never give up and never listen to haters who don’t like the ending cause I find it so meaningful! ✨🔥

welp that’s what I get for going in blind

I was intrigued by Kilian’s story by reading the other duet and again I stumbled on this story out of accident not putting it together he was the same character in the series but I only like HEA’s so there’s that and this was not it ! I wasn’t prepared for the plot twist and the selfish decisions he makes make me dislike him more and now it just solidifies my initial dislike for his character in the first place 🤷🏼‍♀️and Reign I understand her selflessness and love but come on just No!

“𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭.”💔💔💔

(spoiler free review.)

So I’ve read the De Luca series on wattpad a few years back (during quarantine.) and let me just say, your girl was not ready for this. I remember this series playing with my emotions so hard as a 14 year old when I first read it. I’m about to be 18 in less then two months😟 It was a really important part in my high school career because it always had a plot that resinates with me deeply. I was very much a loner and kinda quiet kid in high school and grew up feeling a lot like some of these characters in this series.

The series is now completed right as I wrap up finishing High School and let me say, all though I’ve read the series before it became published, it still hurts the same years later❤️‍🩹. It physically pains me and does it so well too. Yes, there were some minor spelling mistakes but because of how strongly this series ends, I’m looking past it because I love it so much. As I always say, it does not matter where or how you publish, think of your readers because they always make or break you and in Jaclin’s case, she broke me entirely but also made herself a fan for more and more projects to come.

So on behalf of all the beloved fans of this series, thank you Jaclin for writing a series that made the girls who read The De Luca series on the bleachers during lunch, like myself, feel less alone❤️❤️❤️

This book was amazing, I lived reading it, but it broke my heart at the same time.

[Cayla Shae · Rating 3 out of 5]

I honestly don’t know how to feel. The 3/5 is because of my personal preference of all the books I’ve read. Don’t mistake it that I didn’t enjoy it because I did. I did not expect the book to go this way. At all. I was expecting similar stories to what I’ve read so far and this was far from it. Though the writing isn’t novel esque, the story is 1000% beautiful. My heart hurts so fucking much so fuck you💗and thank you. I’m so mad I don’t know what to do with myself right now. Genuinely. I’m. So. Mad. Because life sucks and it’s unfair, and it’s raw and beautiful.

[Arreia’L Thorpe · Rating 4 out of 5]

thank you jaclin marie for the opportunity to receive an arc in exchange for an honest review.
this book broke my heart. knowing that this is the last book in the Deluca series made it hit even harder. through this book we see how a tough exterior can ultimately break a person down and seeing that contrast throughout this book is different from what we have seen from Jaclins other books.

[Cj A · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was cute but I noticed some errors. I’m not gonna be a grammar police since I make the same mistakes but yeah.

[Axmyxmiiqs · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is BAD. So bad. It feels like a fucking wattpad story. The writing is awful, the characters have absolutely no personality and the story does not make sense AT ALL. Her other books in the series were so good so what’s up with this one? I had high hopes for killian his own book after reading his sister’s book, But I just can’t ☠️ the fact he suddenly has a heart disease ( we find out about this 4000 pages later while he apparently suffers from it forever) and he ALMOST died out of no where?? the writing was so bad i thought he got shot, but it was a heart attack 😀when his lover of 2 months finds out about his disease she gives her heart to him ?? (She had absolutely no doubt doing this) Lol she must be nuts. It makes no sense and for some reason she gave birth (killian never knew she was pregnant, and she decided to announce this on paper while she lay dead) she gave “birth” before they took out her heart (how is that even possible? She was not even 3 months pregnant…)She never came back from the death (gladly) like alexander magically did 😃(still confused on that) I don’t know why this author brings in unnecessary plots. What pissed me more off is him fighting with his dad and almost killing him?.. while his mom (his dads wife) is also literally about to die on cancer (mind you, she died thinking of the fact killian hates his dad, almost killed her husband, ghosted his own dad and that he would kick his own dad out the house as soon as the mom dies (excuse YOU.?? ) killian needs a beating istg. i feel so bad for his dad.he literally said, “ill be joining you soon amore..” i will forever defend ace IDC! this book played with my nerves VERY WRONG. It truly got me questioning multiple times why I even loved reading and for some insane “logic” he kicked his OWN dad out for 5 years (it was his dads house) and never wanted to talk again, but after his dad explained to his grandson why the mom of that childs heart is inside killian. Then killian all of a suddenly was like “i forgive u again” (i still don’t know for what😹) i seriously had a crashout for hours after this👍🏼 (i wish that killian knew how much his dad sacrificed for his family and him to be able to live.)

I dont recommend this book, but I’m sure u can tell

[Cassie Jo Perkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have never fell in love and been heartbroken by one book. I ugly cried so much by the end of this story. It concluded the de Luca series in such a heartbreaking way. Jaclin Marie has really outdone herself, making me love these fictional characters as if they were real people.

ARC review:
I read from the first version of this book published on Wattpad to this and I saw the story evolve beautifully and the connection between the characters was more in-depth than the first time. For this book the action didn't feel rushed and even though I knew what was coming in the end, I still wished for it to be different and this time it was even more heartbreaking. Thank you for the chance to ARC this book.

[G Walshe · Rating 3 out of 5]

Um Miss Jaclin Marie what do you have against a plain old happy ending? Stop making me attached to the characters and then killing half of them off. I prefer the alternate ending and I will chose to ignore your original plan.

[angel24goddess · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fuck you Ace.
I liked the plot of this book (yes it made me cry) but the decision of Reign is still not making sense in my head. I think their love story needed more time because I couldn't wrap my thoughts to believe somebody could love a person that much in so little time.
2.75⭐

[Aya L. · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found this book a little sad but I also found it a little rushed. I understood why killian was sad but I also had the feeling as if he wasn’t that long in a relationship with her to be that sad 😭💀 3.5 start I liked it and I was enjoyable to read tho

[Marta · Rating 5 out of 5]

I hoped that it would end like Thalia’s book and she would be alive, but when I understood that it won’t happen I cried. Also i was reading and i had this deja vu feeling and then I remembered that i read all these books on Wattpad
