teema 's review for:

By Sin I Rise: Part One by Cora Reilly
4.0

*ARC received in exchange for an honest review*

✨Cora Reilly did not come out to play with this book ✨

Plus I can't believe i've read my most anticipated book since the author announced this series.

The essence of this series is basically the kids paying for the sins of their father (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles & The Camorra Chronicles) . And it starts with Marcella, Luka's daughter, paying a hefty price for his sins.

Marcella and Maddox are so fine together. They complement each other so perfectly, truly opposites attract. But in that, they did share some similarities as well.

I love how Marcella is shown as this superficial girl who cares about her looks. But underneath, she is so strong and fierce, truly her fathers daughter. Her strength is truly shown throughout her kidnapping and more so after.

Maddox is a man hellbent on revenge because Marcella's father killed Maddox's father many years ago. It's years later, and Maddox and the MC cultivate a plan to kidnap the Mafia boss's daughter. But with all good forbidden romances, Maddox starts to feel things for Marcella.

There were some elements and scenes in this book that I wasn't a fan of, hence the missing one star.

However, this story is truly so intense and thrilling, a page turner that will captivate you.

Honestly, I am so intrigued to see what part II brings, especially after the ending of this book.
Very curious.
