Twisted Cravings by Cora Reilly
3.0
2,5 stars
The Camorra Chronicles by Cora Reilly is one of my favorite series, but unfortunately the series went downhill from Twisted Hearts. I really hope Twisted Cravings will get better as Adamo is one of my favorite Falcone brothers. But the Adamo in this book shares nothing similar to the Adamo I know from the series, except for their name. I initially thought I might've felt that way because of how this book started with an adult Adamo instead of a teen one that I'm already familiar with, but seeing the other reviews, I believe that is not the case. The insta-love/lust between Adamo and Dinara also left very little for any chemistry between them.
Oh, and Adamo's relationship with CJ in this book. Those intimate scenes were very unnecessary, which makes it feels like he has more chemistry with CJ than Dinara. The things I do like about this book though, is the character development we see in Remo. Yes, we explore more Remo than Adamo in this book. Maybe because this book seems like a plot-driven story instead of character driven, there is almost none of the character development we can see in Adamo or Dinara that can make readers empathize with them. Well, with Dinara, her backstory helps a bit. And that is the twist that makes the story more interesting but what they did after finding out about the truth felt like gratuitous violence.
I'm still looking forward to the Sins of the Fathers series but I do hope Cora start the book with the characters in their teen and build the story from there. And I know us fans keep asking but I hope Cora will publish it when it's really ready because with Twisted Cravings, there are some minor errors in grammars/spelling that could've edited out.
