BOOK REVIEW | Sinners Anonymous by Somme Sketcher 

*NO SPOILERS*

🕊️ Kindle + KU - Dark Romance mafia 

5⭐️
4🌶️

Plot: Rory is engaged to a 70 year old, gross, old mafia boss - Alberto. Under Alberto’s control, Rory is living with her soon to be husband, when his nephew, Angelo returns home. ♣️ I loved the forbidden romance between the characters. Plus there is so much sexual chemistry - she is his uncle’s fiancée and he cannot touch her… 

Writing: The writing is so enjoyable!! The writer clearly portrays each character’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*

I’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 didn’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 “villain is unattractive and disgusting especially because he’s fat” thing is played out. Can we let it go?

I thought that I’d enjoy this book as I had seen lots of people recommending it, but it sorely let me down. I had expected something a lot less like a Wattpad fan fiction than this. I wish I’d gone in beforehand knowing that Aurora curses in ‘bird words’ — and I’m not f*cking kidding. This book was such a painful read with a wildly predictable ending and a boring plot progression. And for all you smut-lovers, go ahead and skip this one. The *spice* was sub-par at best. If you’re looking for a published version of your favorite ‘mafia boss x reader’ fan fiction, this is up your alley. If not, don’t waste your time.
