Since Twisted Cravings, I kind of wanted to give up on Cora's books but I feel a bit attached to the Camorra characters so I'm coming back for the second generation spinoff series. Though the quality of the stories are decreasing, Cora is smart to make the series so interrelated we can't help but read every one of them just because we completely love a couple in the series.
With the title of BSIR and the promise of revenge by the H for Luca's act in the past, I really hope for some thrill that had my blood pumping and my head go crazy for them but all I couldn't stop doing were cringe and rolled my eyes. At the start, we have Maddox 'Mad Dog' who's supposed to be cruel and ruthless, wanted the most horrible revenge for Luca, thus agreed to stage a kidnapping of Luca's daughter Marcella. But lo and behold, our ruthless H fall for the snow white princess at first glance and was on his knees adoring the princess since day one and dreaming of make her 'cream'. Somehow the word makes me think of ice cream and, yeah, cringe. Lol.
For a second generation spinoff, Luca still takes most of the limelight. I would prefer to have the focus on Amo's development instead of having him 'flipped' from a laidback teen to a ruthless brother without any real development. I just hope Amo and Greta's book will be better, though I really am losing hope, but I'm really looking forward to Remo and Nino's kids books so I'll probably come back to BSIR sequel as well in case there's any glimpse before Amo and Greta's book.
