'I am obsessed. Totally consumed. This universe has me all sorts of messed up.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All 20-year-old Daisy Haites has ever wanted is a normal life, but as the heiress to London's most notorious criminal empire, it's just not on the cards for her. Raised by her older brother Julian since their parents were murdered, Daisy has never been able to escape the watchful gaze of her gang-lord brother. But Julian's line of work means that Daisy's life is... complicated. And things don't become any easier when she falls hard for the beautiful and emotionally unavailable Christian Hemmes, who also happens to be one of the few men in London who doesn't answer to Julian. Christian's life is no walk in the park either, since he's in love with his best friend's girlfriend, Magnolia Parks. He's happy enough to use Daisy to throw off the scent of his true affections - until she starts to infiltrate those too. As their romance blossoms into something neither were anticipating, Daisy, Christian, and Julian must come to terms with the fact that in this life everything comes at a price. As their relationships intersect and tangle, they all learn that sometimes life's most worthwhile pursuits can only be paid in blood. READER REVIEWS 'I will never get over Daisy and Christian...

Daisy Haites is smart, witty, loving, and blunt. She is bad ass. She has messy relationships and lots of miscommunication like Magnolia Parks.
You learn a lot more about The Haites and The Hemmes. My favorite points of views were Daisy's and Christians. You see lots of new people, and new characters.
I likes the ending where we got some more of Magnolia and cliffhanger ending.

i lovedddddd jessa's writing and especially this darker gang world that she has thrown us into in this one. i think overall i enjoyed the plot, characters, and the elements over this magnolia parks more but i wasn't as attatched to the romance in this one as i was in magnolia.

I have so many thoughts but i don't want to talk about it. but in short: daisy is a fucking idiot. julian is a hot fucking idiot. christian deserved so much better
