"You are my spark, amore mio. Your brightness outshines the darkness in my soul."King of Souls is the second book in the Verona Legacy series by L.A. Cotton. It is the conclusion to Niccolo Marchetti and Arianne Capizola's story. It's a story full of turmoil, suspense, lies, secrets, angst, betrayal and a deep soul-stirring love. I loved each and every single second of it!Ari is heartbroken after Nicco up and left her without a word, but she's not the only one suffering. Nicco knows that she's end game for him, and it took all that he had to leave her. But he did what he thought was the best for both of them at the time. Now she's being forced by her family to marry the man that stole her innocence, and Nicco won't sit idly by and watch. She belongs to him and only him.Nicco and Arianne's story completely stole my heart from the very beginning. Their relationship was tried and tested, but they both proved just how strong they were. They fought for their love and didn't let anything stand in the way.All in all, this was a fantastic mafia romance page-turner. A completely captivating story of feuding families, drama, vengeance and forbidden love. 5 stars for Ari, Nicco and King of Souls!
