Summary:

The world has fallen.

This is what Choi Yoori feels when her reality begins to crumble all around her. After discovering irrefutable evidence that she was indeed An Soo Jin, the legendary Queen of the Underworld who “died” 3 years prior, her world is left in anarchy.

Time is ticking for Yoori. The elders of the Underworld are doing everything in their power to pit Kwon Tae Hyun—her crime lord boss and the favored King of the Underworld—against her. The memories of her dark past are closing in on her and in the midst of this chaos, Yoori is also plagued with an unsettling realization that she may have fallen for Tae Hyun.

Falling for a King of the Underworld has its consequences and in a society where love will never conquer all, Yoori will learn if finding “Paris” in the Underworld is truly worth it.

Review:

Uhm, well this was a disappointment. I loved the first book, and I’m still going to read the next ones, because the ending was a great set up for what’s to come.

Summary:

There is a secret society that presides over every world. This society is so powerful that it can control a nation, strike fear into the bravest of men and bring turmoil onto the most unsuspecting of victims…

There is a dangerous society in Seoul that is plaguing Choi Yoori.

Her world is turned upside down when she is told that she bears a strong resemblance to the “Queen of the Underworld,” a notorious Underworld crime lord who died 3 years prior—the exact same time Yoori woke up with amnesia. The dangers of this new world is crashing in on her and Yoori’s only grip on stability lies with the guidance from her crime lord boss and the secrets the Queen of the Underworld hid from her powerful society.

Welcome to a world where “Gods” walk amongst humans. Where the heartless and vengeful are revered like Kings and Queens—and the weak, the distracted are punished without mercy.

It is a cruel world and once you’re in, the only exit is death.

Review:

Such a refreshing story! Korean crime lords fighting each other to become the leader of the underworld; definitely a must read.

Although she didn’t approve of gangs, she would be a liar if she said she wasn’t fascinated by the mystery cloacking this secretive society. It intrigued her endlessly. Their acts of violence were so public to the rest of the world, yet no one from the outside was privy to the inner workings of their world. It was as if they were ghosts in her world, appearing in and out, yet never leaving any trace of their identities behind.
