In the city of Chicago, power is a currency.
In the right hands power can bring success, safety, and security. But in the wrong hands, it can mean danger, destruction…and almost always death.
For nearly a century the Pace Family Mafia has held that power. And although few know the true extent of their influence, or the dark methods they employ to keep it, their reign has maintained order and allowed the city to flourish.
But from the shadows has emerged an envious challenger, The Two-Headed Dragon, a rival mafia clan with one goal in mind: Utter. Fucking. Chaos.
A year ago, Jaxon Pace would have faced such challenges simply to maintain his chokehold control of the city’s crime syndicate.
But that was back before he had a beautiful wife, and a growing family to protect.
Now, he must navigate the depravity and darkness with much higher stakes, knowing that one wrong move could mean the utter destruction of everything and everyone he loves.
Ethan White told him once that he needed a light bright enough to guide him home. Will it be enough?
Or will his demons finally win?

I received an ALC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
To tell you how confused I was about this book would be an understatement. As mentioned above I received this as an ALC because I got an advanced copy of Lies in the Dark, which is a companion novel to this series. I didn’t expect to get this last book as an ALC and because I haven’t read books 1, 2 and 3 yet I just went in completely blind. I wish I had the time to read them before starting this one. But for being thrown into the end of this story, I actually really enjoyed it. I love this author’s writing style and though I only got a glimpse of these characters in the end, they really grew on me! Maxine Mitchell and Grayson Owens did an outstanding job with this story and I thought they fit the characters so well. I honestly couldn’t imagine anyone else voicing these characters. I can’t wait to go back and read books one, two, and three to really immerse myself in the entire story!
