This is my first book by this author and it did not disappoint, the author brought the Bratva to life and sucked me in to this world that was so intense and amazing. The detail about underground fighting, the Bratva, and Russia was amazing and made things seem so realistic that I felt I was in the middle of it all. Snow was such an a great character, he is a boxer, and he comes off as cold and distance but underneath the façade he was a big softy but only towards his trainer, friend, and Sasha. Sasha was a character that may not have been part of the Bratva world but she showed amazing strength when it came to protect those she loved. I enjoyed these two together because Sasha brought the soft side out of Snow and they loved each other fiercely. I loved this book, this world the author created, and I definitely want to read more.
