Twisted Bonds by Cora Reilly
4.5
(TW: Self harm/Forced self harm, Child Abuse/Neglect)
4.5 stars
Nando's Spice Rating - Hot
That got dramatic! Argh my favourite couple are back again!!!!
You 100% have to read Twisted Emotions and Twisted Pride before this one - it isn't a standalone!
The main reason this is not 5 stars is the fact that the first 40% of the book or so, is the events of Twisted Pride from Nino and Kiara's POV. I think this book was supposed to be a novella because it definitely has those vibes. When I read Bounded by Love, that was also a retelling of previous books and I didn't like that but this is the Falcone's and I wayyy prefer them. So even though I don't know how much this book contributed to the whole Camorra Chronicle storyline, I still enjoyed it.
Something that surprised me is how heavily this book deals with Nino and Kiara's struggles to conceive. It was actually heart-breaking as it became more difficult for them. I love that they had a great support system around them as well. Ok no spoilers but Remo's conversation with Kiara after she found out she wasn't pregnant again made me fall in love with Remo. Their relationship I think has had so much growth from Twisted Emotions.
This book sets Twisted Hearts up quite nicely. Savio takes more of a prominent role in this book and I love him. I love his relationship with Kiara, it's so cute. We also see Gemma again in this one and see her interactions with Savio a little more which makes me so excited for Savio and Gemma's book now. And Savio's nickname for Greta ("Doll Face") is just so cute.
I liked seeing the Falcone's so domestic in this book and this book overall so its 4.5 stars for me
