I read to chapter 7.I don't really read the mafia trope and don't know much, but I find the plot very unique and interesting. Especially the auctioning element. I really liked how Erika started out as a human trafficking slave. It makes their encounter very believable versus the other kinds of unrealistic meetings with mafias. Something I find inconsistent with Lacus's character is he doesn't know what he wants? Like he wants to be alone forever and remain cruel and evil, but he also wonders what it's like to have a true love? I find this contradiction repeatedly throughout the story and because of that his character isn't developed.The grammars make some parts of the story hard to follow, but I really do see potential in this novel to be something awesome!!!! ?
