BOOK REVIEW | Sinners Anonymous by Somme Sketcher 

*NO SPOILERS*

šŸ•Šļø Kindle + KU - Dark Romance mafia 

5ā­ļø
4šŸŒ¶ļø

Plot: Rory is engaged to a 70 year old, gross, old mafia boss - Alberto. Under Albertoā€™s control, Rory is living with her soon to be husband, when his nephew, Angelo returns home. ā™£ļø I loved the forbidden romance between the characters. Plus there is so much sexual chemistry - she is his uncleā€™s fiancĆ©e and he cannot touch herā€¦ 

Writing: The writing is so enjoyable!! The writer clearly portrays each characterā€™s personalities and internal conflict. 

Characters: Rory such a lovable character, she would do anything for her father, including marry a creepy, old man. Angelo is your reformed bad boy, who seems to quickly revert to his dark ways as soon as he meets Rory. 

Overall: This is one of my favourite books and this series is so addictive. The had be gasping and blushing. So many secrets and confessions! 

*Please note this book deals with dark themes and to check the trigger warnings before reading*

Iā€™m officially hooked. The tension in this book was off the charts and so was the dark chemistry between Rory and Angelo. The bird word thing was annoying, but as the story went on, I got used to it. The church scene and the scene at the Halloween party? TOP TIER! This book technically ends on a cliffhanger, but just about everything is wrapped up. It just means we know some of the stuff to expect in book two.

Only thing I didnā€™t enjoy were the reminders that Alberto was disgusting and how that was tied to his weight. That man was horrible and disgusting all on his own, so making his weight part of the punchline was unnecessary.  The ā€œvillain is unattractive and disgusting especially because heā€™s fatā€ thing is played out. Can we let it go?

Holy shit this book was good. I donā€™t know what else to say other than, ā€œif he wanted to, he would.ā€ Most of the men in the book are so perfect.

At times it did kind of feel like I was reading a Wattpad novel from 9th grade. I'm not sure if that was due to the writing style or the fact it was a mafia story which tends to be more awkward/cringe for me. Regardless, I still enjoyed the plot and both the main characters and side characters. I particularly liked Rafe and Tor so I'm excited to hopefully see more of their friendship in the next book. The plot-twists were quite predictable IMO.
