Dark mafia. Romeo&Juliet retelling. Angsty. Abuse. Self-harm. Cliffhanger

This was one dark read. It has been a while since I read about such a broken heroine. Elaine is a drug addict alcoholic. She was victim to child abuse and practices self-harm. The scenes when she cuts herself are really intense. She is trapped by the expectations of others and such a sad, sad soul.
Lucian is an anti-hero asshole. I didn't like him one bit. We don't get much of his back story in this book, except for his obsession with Elaine. But he is equally damaged.
The whole book has a dark, violent feel to it. The danger of this world is almost palpable. It had me hooked and I can't wait to read the next book in the trilogy.
