However, the plot unfolds extremely slowly and is bogged down with more repetitive details than necessary. The mafia, human trafficking, sacrifice, vengeance, and forbidden young love are themes that kept me interested.
It’s not that I didn’t enjoy the story, because I did. It felt very much like it is 528 pages long. There are some 500-page books that I can fly through reading and they don’t seem very long at all. But how much will they have to sacrifice? Can they escape their pasts? And, most of all, what does it mean to be free?
Murder and betrayal are a way of life, and nothing comes without a price-especially not freedom. In a world full of chaos, where money and power rule, Haven and Carmine yearn to break free, but a string of events that began before either of them were born threatens to destroy them instead. Entangled in a web of secrets and lies, they learn that while different on the surface, they have more in common than anyone would think. Now, a twist of fate causes their worlds to collide. Carmine, born into a wealthy Mafia family, lived a life of privilege and excess.
Haven, a second-generation slave, was isolated in the middle of the desert, her days full of hard work and terrifying abuse. Haven Antonelli and Carmine DeMarco grew up under vastly different circumstances. Published by Gallery Books on February 25th 2014
