Buon lunedì booklovers,
oggi voglio farvi iniziare la settimana con un libro particolare, che vi conquisterà fin dall'inizio. Una storia di mafia e famiglia, un amore atipico e tanta azione, caos e vendetta.
Men of Mayhem and Vengeance di Lauren Biel

Trama: My life could only begin once I lay beneath death...
I was sick of my mundane life and tired of being told I would never be enough, so when two men walked into the diner and demanded I come with them, I went.
Criminals. Outlaws. Mobsters. Whatever you wanted to call them, I was their collateral. I expected them to be unkind to me and that I'd end up meeting the Reaper face to face. What I didn't expect was to find myself at the center of their world, welcomed into a life I never thought possible. Silvia as I knew her was gone. Instead, I became known as doll, love, Sil, or sweets. I never expected to fit into their life as if I always belonged. The more I learned about them, the more I should have been afraid. Instead, I found love within the darkest depths of their hearts. And they became my family.
Even once they showed me the underbelly of their lifestyle, I chose to stay. And when evil came for me and they bore witness to an unspeakable act, they were my source of comfort. When I needed revenge, they helped me get my vengeance.
Would I be able to find my peace within their mayhem?
I was also stuck on the fact that Reaper said he liked me. It was a stupid thing to get caught up on, but my mama said I'd never find a man who would, and here I was... with two.
Un mafia dark romance storico ambientato negli anni del proibizionismo e del contrabbando di liquori.
Silvia è una ragazza normale che, ai suoi occhi, non potrà mai essere bella e trovare un uomo con cui mettere su famiglia a causa della sua sterilità.
Verrà rapita per convincere la madre a pagare quanto dovuto a delle persone losche, ma da questo rapimento ne “uscirà” con una nuova famiglia composta da tipi misteriosi, pericolosi e bisognosi di amore e comprensione quanto lei - una particolare famiglia disfunzionale.
Questo romanzo è un picco di adrenalina che non vorresti mai mettere giù e i suoi personaggi sono unici, atipici ma ci si può empatizzare molto facilmente.
La scrittura dell’autrice è scorrevole, incalzante e segue perfettamente i saliscendi della storia senza lasciare scampo al lettore che sarà trascinato nella storia.
We're family, and you're one of us. You can have anything I'm able to give you. If it's Ricky, or even Morris, then they're yours, too. But I won't give you up. I'm not willing to let you go. You can have whoever you want, but none of us ain't an option.
