The Monster

how can the writing decline drastically in one book? like the previous 2 were so much better

This series has been a hit or miss for me. I loved the first book, the second one was not the greatest and honestly this one was just okay. I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either. Definitely had a variety of mix feelings about the whole thing. I'm coughing it up to the plot of the story, maybe mobsters just don't do it for me.

There were parts in the story that made me so angry of how naive and obsessed Ashling was but then there's moments where you're like ‘she's a badass', can't believe she managed that. So I'm left thinking, “which one is she?”

Don't get me started with Sam, he was a total asshat. Was he hot? Yes! - Was he damn sexy? Yes! - Would I want him to jump my bones and enjoy that pool table scene? Hella Yes! But at the same time I can't handle that ‘I-get-everything-I-want-cause-I-can' attitude and the fact that Ashling just takes it; wasn't my cup of tea.

As far as smuttiness; it was hot but I could have wanted more.
