Mafia Scars - Review

-



In the second book in this series we finally get some truths about what happened and what is really going on. It's honestly heartbreaking. Though a little strange for a mafia family as well. You'd think there'd be a little loyalty but alas there definitely was not. This book picks up where the first one left off with Amelia trying to reconcile the fact that the man that she loves is in a career that forced her to leave her father and everything she'd loved behind. Of course Luc couldn't stay away and they end up reuniting. They still have a problem on the hands in the name of Victor to figure out though. We get a lot of flashbacks in this book from both characters. We find out what happens when Amelia was younger that made her leave and how it exactly played out. Also we get a little peak into single Luke. As things escalate in Cali we jump to Chicago where everything began. We know there is a rat in Cali and then we begin to slowly realize that there is also a rat in Chicago. I'll give my ideas on who I think it is a little later. Even though at this point I feel like I'm 1000% sure who the rat is in Chicago, we get to see who the rat is from Cali! This one wasn't really a surprise....more like an oh. Though I will say I feel like something is off with one of the people who was not revealed as the rat. I have so many questions.

The spice in this book was nice! Luke and Amelia definitely steam up the pages with not only their love for one another but their passion. I give this one a 4 out of 5 on the spice scale. Overall I give this book a 4 out of 5 as well. I was very interested in solving the mystery and once we got more backstory for both characters it made things make sense. Of course as more things get answered we still have a few things that need answers or confirmation. So I'm going to spill who I think is the rat in Chicago. If you don't want to know then just know that I recommend this series still and I am looking forward to the conclusion in the next book. So, who do I think is the culprit. Milliken. I thought it was her from the time that she revealed some things to Amelia that she shouldn't have known. The fact that Amelia...the cop, didn't find this suspicious was crazy. She knows that her father feels like someone in the house was listening to their conversation and the fact that she didn't even attempt to look into that is wild. As a cop you'd think she'd ask for the house to be swept for bugs or to make sure their conversations were private. Multiple times Millicent walked in on them talking about things that would then be revealed was leaked. Then the final chapter sealed everything for me. When she had the "sweat" on her lips while someone was breaking into the vault was so guilty!! What I haven't fully figured out is the reasoning behind her doing this. Has she always been this way or did she only turn once Amelia's mother died. Or is this something more to this situation than I just haven't pieced together yet. I don't know but I can't wait to find out!

Binder - ARC Review

Yall, I try not to be long winded when I do my reviews because I don't want to spoil you. Also I try to be a raving looney toon as well but this series is going to probably have the longest reviews I've written. When I say that I am head over heels for these characters, this world, the story. I truly am. Once again we are back in this world meeting so many new faces and some returning! I was so happy to see that Rogan was back! I knew it would throw an interesting wrench between Kara and Flynn and boy did it!! Rogan was just someone who was there briefly in the Prequel Breeder, but he was important to Kara. The fact that he disappeared after what happened in the prequel was investing to me and he always lingered in the back of my mind but never,  did I expect his return to be what it was!! I definitely hope we get a story on him! I just know he has an amazing story to tell!! Cal, is still a wild card for me. There are some people who have lived a long time in this series and Ca...

Daughter of No World's - Review

 This book was probably better than I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the characters and the world that was built. It was very light on the romance but it definitely managed to shine through when needed. I also would like to add that it did feel like it kind of dragged at certain points in the story and I would have liked if some things were sped up a little. Other than that though things were nice. The story of Max and how he came to be how he was, was tragic. Of course that's the truth of some of the "heroes" of wars. I am interested in seeing how things continue in the next book. Not only with Max, but definitely with Tisannah and the order. I also want to say that I listened to this in it's audiobook form and this was it was um...interesting. You could hear everything with this audio. I mean everything. Every breath that the voice actors took, any noise in their background, page turns and everything. I have been spoiled with these full cast audios and...

Ruthless King - Review

  This was a spicy and fun read! I really enjoyed getting to know the Sokolov brothers! Their story was tragic and crazy but definitely worth the ride that we went on in this book! This book has what you can expect from an omegaverse book, muscle bound alphas with aggression issues, middle of the road betas and the soft spoken and often over looked omegas. The omegas in this world are pretty much subject to whatever the alpha's want. They are believed to just be bed warmers. I do like the idea that the omega's have power that can only be used to it's full potential if the alpha that bonds them actually cares about them. It makes the men have to actually try to care if they want power. Most of the omega's in this world do not have access to their gifts past puberty due to them not forming bonds that are forged with love. Of course this is something that most alpha's ignore and has been lost, for the most part, to the pages of history. Until vengeance brings these two...
