Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, book 2) by Amy McKinley – Review by Candice Robinson Estes

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

Blood Oath continues the Mafia Elite Series by Amy McKinley. This second book in the series is a worthy companion to the first installment. This series keeps getting hotter and keeps ratcheting up the suspense and the drama. I can’t wait to see where this series goes from here, but I have absolutely no doubt that it will be amazing from start to finish. In this book, we follow the story of Sofia La Rosa and Enzo Vitale. Two star crossed lovers worthy of another Italian couple. While their families aren’t at war with each other, arranged marriages and secrets threaten to keep our clandestine lovers apart. Through the many twists and turns that can only possibly found within the Mafia , from a blood oath undertaken during a terrifying event at very young age, this pair find a way back to each other at different points in their lives, and even find a way for their love to work, at least for a while. The biggest question of all, though, is will the secrets that Sofia holds and that Enzo is a part of keep them apart for goo While there is definitely more blood and guts in this book, there is also a truly impressive story being told and unfolded at just the right pace to keep you guessing and coming back for more. I truly cannot wait to pick up the next installment of this gripping series and see if I have correctly found the rat among these Mafia bosses and their families.

Fur Verona by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Shannon Fowler

Fur VeronaFur Verona by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A quick read with an interesting twist on Romeo and Juliet. Didn’t read Romeo and Juliet? That’s ok because this is a little different and a lot sexier. Fur Verona is a shifter remake with what starts out as a family feud but turns into something more.

While the ending leads you to believe all is well, it also leads you to believe there could be more to this adventure.

I enjoyed the characters of Rome and Jules. I loved how they knew they shouldn’t be together but figured out a plan to make it work. I think each of their packs had elder members who could not see past their own mistakes and their long-held hatred. I am interested in seeing if McNamee takes this group of characters further.

Definitely a one click story.
