Blurb:
I should have known better than to play games with dangerous men.
Crashing a masquerade party for the most elite members of New Orleans was supposed to give me answers, not put me in the sights of the Irish mafia’s most enigmatic enforcer, Aiden O’Connor.
But when one reckless gamble binds me to him for a night, I learn too late that some wagers can’t be won.
What begins as a game spirals into obsession, temptation, and ruin.
Because Aiden doesn’t just want control for one night—he wants to break me in ways I’ll never escape unscathed.
Little Death is a dark romance novella and a prequel to Until Death. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to readers. Please check the TWs at the beginning of the book.

My Review:
In just 156 pages, this prequel delivers the explosive start to what feels like it’s going to be an incredible series. Mafia romance has never really been my go-to genre, but apparently Irish mafia romance is a completely different story. Maybe it’s the atmosphere, maybe it’s the attitude… or maybe it’s just the accent. Either way, I devoured this.
This story serves as the perfect setup for Until Death, giving us a powerful glimpse into the beginning of our FMC’s journey. Determined to uncover the truth about what really happened to her mother, she makes the difficult decision to return to the very place where everything fell apart. She fully understands the risks, the emotional toll, and the danger tied to going back, and she does it anyway. That determination and bravery immediately pulled me into her story and made me eager to see where her path leads.
As a prequel, this book does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and does it well. It carefully lays the foundation for the main story while giving readers meaningful insight into the characters and their motivations. The backstory never feels like filler; instead, it adds emotional weight and depth that makes the upcoming events feel more impactful and layered.
While it left me wanting more (which is honestly a great sign), it built the world and character dynamics beautifully and set the stage for what promises to be an intense and emotional continuation. If you’re planning to read Until Death, I highly recommend starting here because it enriches the experience and gives you a deeper understanding of the characters and stakes involved.
Definitely a strong four-star read that successfully hooked my attention and made me excited to continue the series.
