Une beauté déchue: Mafia et Dark Romance (The Fallen t. 3)

The story's gritty atmosphere really pulled me in, but I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or crafted it purely from imagination.

Their actions often felt questionable, yet I couldn't look away. How did others feel about sympathizing with these protagonists?

It added layers of tension, but I’m curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
