Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blood Oath: A Friends To Lovers Mafia Romance is book two in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley.

This story kicks off with a bang and never really slows down. There is so much action packed into one book I found it a little hard to keep up at times, I still really enjoyed it though. I had already read the first book in the series, which I’d say isn’t essential but will definitely help you understand a little more when it comes to links between characters.
I loved the main characters. Sofia and Enzo are both strong personalities and there is chemistry between them from the get-go. The author includes flashbacks which not only helped me understand the story better but also the characters. Sofia is such a strong, resilient female lead. Being brought up surrounded by such violence has made her sharp, strong, and fiercely loyal. Enzo needed to match up to this, and he did. I always have a soft spot for a protective bodyguard, and Enzo was no exception.
This was a great second installment to this series.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blood Oath is the second book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley, and a great continuation of this story! I do recommend reading book one ‘No Way Out’ first, since the characters are intermingled in both books.
This story follows Enzo and Sophia, childhood friends.
Enzo, Chicago Mafia underboss, promised to protect Sophia at all cost. Even if it means that they can’t be together like he wants to be. His priority is to keep her alive.
Sophia is an up and coming fashion designer, who is absolutely in love with Enzo and would do any thing for him.
There are so many secrets and so many obstacles keeping them apart. This story has suspense and drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat turning the pages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Amy McKinley’s romance novels, but these Mafia Elite books from her are absolutely amazing and have quickly become one of my favorite series by her. I really love the way she has built suspense and drama with the romance and intrigue of the mafia world in a way that makes you crave it. That is truly the best way to describe it. I literally wait for these novels to hit my kindle like I am waiting for a fix and I love every moment that I get with the characters.

In Blood Oath we get the thrilling second story and the story of Enzo and Sofia. These two light up your kindle with passion and suspense.They have been stalking the line of danger and love since childhood and the story really is one you don’t want to miss. I loved every single second. I cannot wait to see what the next book will bring us!

Blood Oath is book two by Amy McKinley in the Mafia Elite series. I absolutely loved the first book and the second one did not disappoint! This story follows Sofia and Enzo in an epic friends to lovers romance. I loved both of these characters so much, they fought so hard for each other during the entire story and I’m so glad they got their ending! Just like the first one this book had me on the edge of my seat. It was exciting, spicy and you could feel the emotion coming off the pages. Their willingness to sacrifice so much for each other had me wanting to sob at certain points. Amy McKinley knocked another one out of the park with this!

One word, Wow! No Way Out by Amy McKinley was an absolute fantastic read. No Way Out follows Max and Liliana and their Mafia families. Adventure, romance, surprises and more awaits you in the book so much so that I could not put it down. The story was seemless as it transitioned between Max’s and Liliana’s views and there was a moment that I wasn’t constantly wanting more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she always blows my mind. This is the second book in the very addictive Maffia Elite series. This book could be read as a stand alone but there are some previous characters in this story as well. I love a good mafia romance but this author always exceeds my expectations. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I was hooked on the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the end. I can’t wait to see what this amazing author will write next.

Enzo and Sofia have known each other for a long time. They have been through a lot together since they both live the mafia life. Enzo told Sofia that he would always be there for her but when tragedy strikes they are ripped apart. Sofia is now a clothing designer and she loves what she does. She is approached by someone that says that she is in great danger. Sofia is then pushed into the life she wanted to leave behind but she feels that something is not right. She is face to face with Enzo once again. Sofia still had strong feelings for him but with a target on her back she needs to protect him. Will Sofia find her happy ending or will it be destroyed once again?

This is book #2 in this series. I encourage you to definitely read this series in order because it is involved. It is a Mafia romance with all the elements you love – secrets, danger, and family drama. Sofia and Enzo’s story started when they were just children, and you are cheering them on hoping they make it. I loved their love story. I want to keep reading in this world!!

I loved this as it is a book from Sofia and Enzo’s point of view. It has plenty of twist and turns and Amy gives plenty of detail and character building along the way to have us set. This story is surround around the mafia princess and her protector who took a blood oath with her in order to keep her safe. Who’s to say what really will happen. Why is Enzo so keen on keeping away but yet on still protecting her if he wants to stay away? Some secrets come out anyways. Read on readers!

Blood Oath is the second book in the Mafia Elite Series and a good follow-up to No Way Out! I loved the connection between the two main characters but felt like the overall story was missing something. I wish there was a book in between the first and second to give us more background as to what happened to Enzo’s sister, Emilianna, to get a better understanding of the dynamic between the Mafia families. However, I loved Sofia’s feistiness and bravery and I loved the fact that Enzo cared so deeply for her. I am looking forward to reading more by this author!

Dare I say I loved this book as much as, if not a smidge more, than the first.
If you dont read book 1 and immediately dice into book 2, the author has kindly put a character list in here (which I needed for a refresher)
I really loved these characters and their story. I felt all of it, the love, danger, suspense, you name it it was in here.
Great new series and Cant wait for more!

By Amy McKinley

5-stars

This book and series are must reads!!! Seriously so amazing!! Blood Oath is the second book in the Mafia Elite series, a series that I would recommend reading in order for full reading enjoyment.

This storyline is action-packed, intense, twisted, unexpected and truly entertaining. The characters always have me feeling so intrigued and captivated, just like with the first book I ended up reading this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading. This author writes with so much detail that I found myself fully immersed in the story and unable to put it down.

Even though I just finished book 2 I am already looking forward to reading the next book of the series asap!

4 Stars!!!!

One of my favorite things if finding an author whom I enjoy and this is definitely one of those. I have read many books by this author and this is the second series I have read by her and I am not disappointed. I like how the characters are realistic and the stories are unique and refreshing. I am always on the edge of my seat wanting to see how things will unfold.

I like how there is always a bit of conflict in the characters life and how things are not predictable. I like how there is not always a direct path to the romance and drama added in. I also do like the underlying story that plays out and brings the characters together. I really find the author grabs the reader and keeps you wanting more. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. This is the 2nd book to the Mafia Elite series and it does not disappoint. Enzo and Sofia are best friends since childhood and their feelings for each other were always strong. When tragedy struck, Enzo distanced himself from Sofia, but only to protect her, even from himself.

Things get very tense when Sofia is threatened by Ivan, whom is part of the Russian Bratva. He is ruthless and cunning and only wants to “break” Sofia. Enzo will do anything to make sure Sofia stays safe. Will Enzo save Sofia when she needs him the most?

There are some deep secrets in this story along with some very intense shootout and rescue scenes. I was at the edge of my seat just nervous and tense to find out what will happen next. This story is truly great. I am so looking forward to book #3. Thank you Author Amy McKinley!! Love this book!

Blood Oath was a good read. This is the second book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. I enjoyed this book but it felt a little off to me. It took me a while to get into this one, and it felt like there was a lot of book story missing. Like there was another series before this one, and not just one book. The characters were great, and I was engaged and had some laughs and thrills. I just wasn’t as into this book as I wanted to be and I hate that. Maybe it was an off day of reading for me but this one just hasn’t been my favorite and I love McKinley’s books so much, so I was disappointed that I didn’t enjoy this one as much. Hopefully the next one will be better for me!

Book 2 has arrived and its just as amazing as book 1!We meet Sofia and Enzo, and follow their love. Friends from childhood to now there is a lot to their story. Sofia an upcoming fashion designer and Enzo an heir to the Mafia throne. So much is thrown their way, but their love soldiers in. This book has so much action, suspense, drama, intrigue, love, lust, and of course secrets.
Enzo will always protect Sofia, and as things start to heat up he does that and much more.

Hold your breath – mafia action and romance
Second book in Amy McKinley’s amazing series and I can’t get enough. I was reading, rapidly turning the pages, soaking in the action, drama and suspense. Loved the characters, loved the world building and loved the storyline. This book follows Sofia and Enzo, told in dual POV and continues on from the heart-stopping events from the first book. Highly recommend reading the first book before this one as it really helps with the backstory. Now to wait patiently for book 3.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blood Oath is the second book in Amy McKinley’s exciting Mafia Elite series. The series focuses on the Italian American mafia, with book 2 focusing on different characters than book 1 (No Way Out) but with familiar characters returning on the sideline.
Sofia, our heroine in this book, is a fashion designer as well as being a mafia “princess”. So we get a fun insight into the fashion world, with her preparations for Milan fashion week. She’s defiantly independent – driving those who are meant to be protecting her up the wall! I particularly liked her friendship with Katya – against her family’s wishes, but definitely proving to her advantage!
The narrative swaps between Sofia and Enzo’s perspectives. This is particularly effective as Sofia is privy to some big secrets that Enzo knows nothing about. It’s fun seeing both sides of the story!
A word of warning: don’t read this book when you’re meant to be paying attention to your surroundings! I nearly missed my stop on the train I was so engrossed in this book! So read it somewhere safe where you can afford to lose track of time…
This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend starting with book 1 but McKinley gives readers enough background (and a handy character list) that you should be able to keep up if you come in at book 2.

Amy McKinley has done it again! This is the second story in the Mafia Elite series, and I think it was even better than the first. Definitely recommend reading the first book so get a more in depth background and love of the characters, but I don’t think its strictly necessary. There are so many characters that it took me a little bit into this book to remember exactly who they all were! Thank heavens for the list of names and families at the start of the book! All the characters are relatable, the story is a roller coaster, and I did not want to put down! I love a good friend to lovers, so this is definitely my favorite so far. I cannot wait for her next book!

I’ve been totally spoiled this week by reading 3 books by 3 of my favourite authors. The first of these is Blood Oath by Amy McKinley. Blood Oath is the 2nd book in the Mafia Elite series. Each book can be read as a standalone but the characters are interconnecting between each book. As Amy McKinley is one of my favourite author’s and this book (as well as book 1, No Way Out) is awesome then I’d recommend you read both, and in order.
We met the main characters in this book Enzo and Sofia in the first book and I was excited that these two got their own book to tell their story. Amy McKinley is a master (or is it mistress) of writing romantic suspense and Enzo and Sofia’s story is another fantastic example of her amazing storytelling skills. I was hooked to this book from the very beginning and loved the amazing journey that I was taken on, right up to the very end.
This book is full of drama, intrigue, danger and suspense. Added to that is the amazing love story of Enzo and Sofia, a couple who captivated my heart.
Worth more than 5 stars. Definitely recommend.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is a full novel, book 2, I recommend you follow this series. Some series just need to be read in order. This is Sofia and Enzo’s story. While Sofia is an up and coming fashion designer, there are other things that go with being part of a mafia family. Being the baby of the family and the only girl. Makes her life that much harder. But she wants what every young lady wants. To put her fashion on the runway. Enzo on the other hand is not only good looking but he is part of a mafia family as well. He would do anything to protect Sofia, even if it could get them killed. His goal is to stay away, for her protection. But family secrets have a way of coming to the surface. Now what? Read on and find out what will happen next. No Spoilers!

Amy McKinley has done it once again. The story itself will keep you reading. This is a fast paced rollercoaster of a read. I instantly fell in love with Enzo and Sofia. She is so independent and strong. He is just too hot to handle. He will protect Sofia with his life. Amy McKinley just has a way with her writing technique, she will keep you wanting so much more. That is where I am at this moment. I want more from Amy McKinley… Well Done Amy McKinley! Well Done! ! !

This book is the story of Enzo and Sofia and wow what a bang. I was so happy at times and so angry at others.

She is determined to be at her fashion show debut. Secrets are revealed from the past. Will everything be ok or will it blow up Sofia’s world. THIS IS A MUST READ.

5 +++++ Stars

Oh Lord, I think I have a new favorite Amy McKinley series!! This one has had my heart racing while reading both this one and the first. I was so looking forward to Sophia and Enzo’s story and I must say there were times I lost my breath while reading. Whether because of the suspense, the danger, the love, or the friendship and sacrifices made by these characters, it took my breath away.

I can not recommend reading this as a stand alone, you need the whole of both books to follow this story. I can, though recommend you take notes after each one if you’re not going to read them back to back. I did, but learned I didn’t write down enough so it took me a bit to check back in and get people, names, and relationships straight. This did not in any way take away from the awesomeness of this story and I can not wait till book 3. I also can not wait to have them all and reread them all at one time.

Phenomenal story, with phenomenal writing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blood Oath by Amy McKinley is the second book in the Mafia Elite Series. This book centered on Sofia and Enzo. They have always been drawn to each other even when they were kids. When the park they were playing at was attacked, Enzo was there to help Sofia to safety. The two of them made a blood oath then and there with Enzo promising to always be there for Sofia to keep her safe. Of course life has a way of making things difficult and circumstances pull them apart. When Sofia seems to be in the line of sight of a terrible man named Ivan, Enzo must be the one to keep her safe! I loved the fist book in this series but the story of Sofia and Enzo is amazing! Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
