4.5 searing stars

It's been a while since I have been back in the world of Elite and the 5 families.

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Phoenix after what we had seen of him in previous books.

But boy oh boy does Ms Van Dyken do the man justice. My heart ached for him as we got to learn more of the man inside.

And enter Bee, Tex the Cappo's sister. She brings a lightheartedness to Phoenix that you would never think you would see.

I loved the humour amonst the families and friends - yes, they are mafia but they are young and that shines through a lot.

Now straight onto Elude - oh Sergio what are we going to do with you/
