Katya. Kristoff Romanov forced a ring on my finger. He married me with one purpose in mind. Vengeance. I’ve vowed to leave him if it’s the last thing I do. Even when my heart still belonged to him. I couldn’t let myself forget that he had deceived me. Kristoff. What’s a kingpin without a queen to protect? I would do anything to keep Katya safe. Anything. Even blackmail her into marrying me. I’ve always lived for my vengeance and my Bratva, but she makes me want more. Will I lose her forever when she learns about the secret I’ve kept from her? This is part 2 of a duet, and can't be read as a standalone.

“You want to take a walk on the dark side of my depraved soul?”
Firstly, Kristoff‘s love is so obvious, in a very wicked way. I also like him personality-wise as he is always so matter-of-factly and decisive.
Secondly, Katya, kind of, has a very extreme change in character. She was always very much a power woman and unbending, but she was also a lot more gentle than she is here now. This change is sad and a bit unreasonable. But her original personality breaks trough in the way she is so good with Kristoff‘s half-siblings. 🥰
Thirdly, I need Mia & Sokolov‘s story please! I see so much potential 😍 and the epilogue was just 😍💔 - it made me want their story all the more.
Additionally, Onyx and the twins are🔥😍 There is fire.
Lastly, I kind of like Ilya. His story might also be very interesting.
If you're not familiar with Shanna Bell’s books I suggest you start with the Bloody Romance series before jumping into this one. Otherwise you’ll miss out on some very important things and important information on certain characters. Kristoff & Katya I've been waiting to jump into their story for a long, long time. If you’ve read the Bloody Romance series, you will know exactly who Kritstoff and Katya are and what they represent. However what you don’t know is how Katya ended up in Kristoff’s world and how come they never got involved with each other. The prequel to this duet will give you a lot of answers from the start, but also leave you with a lot of new questions. There is this big, black cloud hanging above Katya’s head that she knows nothing about and Kristoff isn’t giving away anything either. You're constantly trying to find out what is about to come only to be shocked to the core when everything is revealed. Everything you thought you knew about this whole situation is turned upside down and you get to see a totally different Kristoff. The fact that Viking (MMC Bloody Romance), Yuri, Angel and Baran (MMC Love is a game)l are so intertwined in this story makes it a great follow up to the first series. This story has mafia, power, betrayal, touch her and die, possessiveness, lies, heartbreak, pain, loss, loyalty, mixed feelings and thread written all over it. It keeps you on your toes, makes you wonder how you didn’t see things earlier and makes you want to steal away Katya because she deserves better only to change your mind in the next chapter. It’s a beautiful, darkish, intense story that will give you all the feels.
There was so much jumping and side stories happening in this story I felt Kristoff and Katya got lost. There was just too much going on that it felt like I was constantly coming into the scene half way through. The whole Sokolov and Aslanov story doesn’t even barely get touched, there is some fighting between Katya and Kristoff and for the life of me I don’t really know what this book was about. Needs editing.
Kristoff and Katya were awesome! Chemistry off the charts. Drama, maham and destruction.
Kristoff is the man who would burn down the world for his woman, only she doubts him at every turn because of his omissions. He keeps to himself the things that will cause her more pain but she sees it differently.
Once the battles are fought, and to be honest, the battles only solidified how much she was his queen, the rest just fell together perfectly. I can't wait to read more.
Pretty good, the bonus epilogue irks me for some reason. But otherwise good ending. ALSO!, WHAT COLOUR HAIR did our girl Katya have because one minute she had pink hair then the next it was a dark blonde then pink then blonde but yet the cover shows a brunette??… this bugs me so much lol
I loved this series so much it kept me on my toes and the spicy scenes were definitely spicy!! I hope another book comes out I need to know what happens next!!
I loved both books. Katya and Kristoffer were amazing characters. The Pickering and the love making were just amazing. The drama that was involved was very tense and I was just waiting to see what would happen next. Would love to read more of your books on the bratva or mafia.
Dit is deel 2! Wat ben ik snel naar de kast gerend om het vervolg van de Bratva Kingpin te lezen. Wat een spannend verhaal en heftige plottwist. Het is een fantastisch verhaal met veel verwijzingen of grapjes uit de Griekse mythologie. Als je een mafia fan bent is dit absoluut een aanrader om te lezen 😍
