It may not be as good as the first book, it's still a satisfying conclusion for Carmine DeMarco and Haven Antonelli. What a long journey filled with roller coaster of emotions. 
 It's heartbreaking to see these two parted ways as Carmine pledge to enter the dangerous world of Mafia while Haven goes to New York where she can live independently, can freely go to College to enhance her artistic skills like normal people do. Both are miserable and empty without each other's company. Their deep love for each other makes it difficult for them to move on and be happy. A part of them still hopes that they'll be together again someday... a year of longing for each other makes everything worth it. 
 Supposedly, I'm going to give this book 3 stars because it's unnecessarily prolonged. Haven and Carmine are separated for about 60% of this book, which is kind of frustrating since they have less moments together but they reunited on the 70% mark. So patience is a virtue my dear friends, it's worth the wait. What motivated me to keep going? ALL PARTS WITH CORRADO MORRETTI IN IT. I love him so much. He's so complex and badass. His love for Celia makes me swoon. Honestly, he really is outstanding in this book. KEVLAR KILLER FOR THE WIN. Also, there are more mafia related events and violence. I think everything was resolved in the end and I decided to give it 4 stars for that matter.
