Mafia Daddy (Unterwelt von Las Vegas 1.5)

The depiction of mafia life feels so visceral and authentic—I'm curious whether this was based on research or personal imagination. How did the author craft such a convincing backdrop?

The scenes are intense and well-written, but the dark tone made me wonder about the line between desire and manipulation. How do readers interpret these dynamics?

Despite the gritty exterior, the characters' vulnerabilities felt real and heartbreaking. Did others find themselves rooting for them beyond the thrill?
