⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

They were childhood best friends and then a secret tore them apart. They both come from families of the Bratva, one the Pakhan’s child, the other his best friend’s child, but there are secrets at play and deception in the ranks. When the Pakhan and the wife of his best friend die in a tragic death both children will grow to hate each other, and the families will deteriorate.

When tragedy keeps finding Willow and her life seems to just keep getting darker, Caspian comes back into her life and wreaks more havoc, that is until he finds that she is in danger. He may hate her, but he does not want her dead.

This is a forbidden love story of two families that were once aligned and close that has become immortal enemies, but unfortunately, for Willow, she is the only surviving member of her family. She has a large inheritance, one that will bring danger to her and could destroy her. I really liked this dark story of best friends to enemies to lovers. There are a lot of twists and turns in this story and I can’t wait to read the final book in the duet, Cruel Promises. There are a lot of lies and deception that will be revealed.
