“I have to commit mass murder tomorrow night—enough to classify me as a serial killer,” he said. “You do not need to comfort me.”

We were on the front lines in that world, the mafia world.
There was nothing soft or glamorous about it.
Who you were before no longer mattered. Names didn’t exist.
I joined anyway. I had no other choice because they took my sister.
Join. Find her. Try and make it out alive.
Then he won me in a poker game.
I hated him instantly, thinking he was like my other bosses before him.
He wasn’t. He was worse.
He wasn’t just cold. He was dead inside.
It didn’t matter that he was gorgeous.
He was the most lethal thing I’d ever met.
He was also the only person who could keep me alive, if he didn’t kill me himself.
A/N This is a 102k mafia/cartel standalone.
This is the most violent book Tijan has ever written.
Trigger warning: references to sexual violence
“Canaries sing to save lives. I sing and people die.”
Review:
This book was great! It was such a new and fresh take from Tijan, like nothing I’ve read from her before. I loved her Crew series which has its own bad boy/girl themes in it but nothing like this one.
Raize is the ultimate mafia man. He takes no prisoners, he has no second guessing, he follows through on the mission, with or without help. He is loyal to himself and his one true boss and everyone else has to fall in line or else.
Ash is… a mystery. There’s so much to figure out about her through this story. I love that her character develops the longer you read this book, and you really start to get to know her as the story continues. As chapters go by, you learn more about why she is the way she is.
You learn more about Raize and how appearances can be deceiving. You learn about family and sacrifice and trauma and loyalty and crossing or not crossing lines. You learn about friendship and trust and bad decisions and consequences to actions.
There’s a lot to this book. Tijan has mentioned this has been her most violent book to date. That’s true, there is violence throughout this book. If you’ve never read a mafia related book before, it may be surprising for you. It serves these characters well, though. It gives you a crystal clear picture of this life Tijan has created for them. The world building of Canary was incredible for me. I was able to visualize so much of this story as it continued to develop. Overall, I really enjoyed this story. The characters are hard core. Their backgrounds are heartbreaking. Their grit and determination are evident. This is a story that’ll sit in the back of my mind for a while!
Happy reading, y'all!
