I liked Sasha a bit more in this one. But good lord gullible much? I don’t want to believe that kirill was sooooo calculating against her. Do I believe he made that deal to become the boss? Yes. Did he need to handle it the way he did? No. And it’s one of those things where his actions up until that point made me believe he was being sincere. I still knew he’d go ahead with Kristina. But the way he handled it all was so cruel. And yuri? YURI??? Now I need to hurry up and read the next book. So far the plot and story of this series is so much more than I was expecting. I always get a little worried when something is labeled dark. This is just the right amount.
