Hans: Une dark romance mafieuse (Alliance t. 4)

The book's atmosphere is so visceral and raw — I wonder what inspired the author to explore these darker themes and how it influenced the character development.

The emotional stakes are high, and I found myself torn between empathy and discomfort. Am I the only one who felt this mix of attraction and unease?

The story moves steadily but with moments of intense build-up. I wonder if the pacing was planned to keep the tension high or if it evolved during writing.
