Before I get into the review I want to say that if you cannot handle graphic violence or graphic sexual content, this is not the book for you. If you don't like sexual content in your books, this book is not for you. I personally, couldn't care either way and found the plot and characters to be extremely well-developed.
Cardinal Sins is a "Why Choose" story so there are multiple love interests. I really like how all of the love interests were thoroughly developed and had a lot of backstory. I also appreciate that they were certainly not perfect people, they all had flaws in one way or another which made them more interesting to learn about. I really like the FMC and I really hope she grows to be more independent in the next book, which it looks like she might. As for the over-arching plot, I cannot get enough of it! I am eagerly awaiting the sequel to see what will happen next with the FMC and the Criminal Organizations she has found herself surrounded by.

This book is filled with many twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Zara and the boys are complex characters that we get to see fleshed out and grow together. It is wonderfully written, I could not put it down. Honestly, I am upset that I don't have the second book in hand right now. I am shaking my fist at the author and how she ended this book.

Good dark mafia why choose romance that keeps you reading! The twists, the tension, the characters were all so good. It ends on a cliffhanger and it definitely leaves you wanting more! I can't wait for the next book.
I received an arc and this review is my own.
