Explanation During Books MAFIOSA (Blood for Blood #3)
I'm sad because this series doesn't get the hype it deserves!! While there are some really terrible books out there that get to extend some trilogies into a 6-book-series and everything. Yeah, I'm salty, because I wanted 4000 pages more of these awesome characters and enthralling story.But ok. Let's start with this review before I can back out again and start crying.
Dio. That was definitely worth the wait.
Holy rollercoaster, I have to admit. I briefly went through my updates while reading it, and damn, one second I could be crying over something incredibly cute and the next moment—someone's dead! Yay!
I'm crushed basically. I'm grieving. I'm empty.
In case you haven't noticed, I could read these books during my entire life. And I will make sure everyone reads it. It's fine if they don't like it, because they obviously will, or I will kill them. Joke. Or not.
FIRST OF ALL, laying the obvious out here, I WOULD DIE FOR LUCA FALCONE. I hope that's clear already. He's so well written and has gone through a lot of character development and as soon as I thought I couldn't love him more, there it goes, this bastard, saying some smooth shit and being all perfectly imperfect. Ugh. I love him.
Sophie becomes the woman she always had inside her: that strong-minded powerful girl who makes decisions for herself. So I loved how she lets everybody know she matters and that they better not mess with her. Girl power going strong.
That ship, man. I'm way down here in the ocean beside the Titanic, glad I went down with it.
I feel like I'm in a dream every time I read these scenes between those two. How the fuck. Just explain to me how. How do they manage to be so fucking perfect. I don't get it. All the feels skdksjfjd fUCK U.
Sorry, went a little crazy. I don't know how I'm going to write this review.
(view spoiler)[
And, can we talk about these two FINALLY being together? This is so unreal. For real. I shipped them since the moment they met, and I never thought they were actually going to become canon. Wow. I can't stop smiling at any of their scenes. Just. Wow. Un-fucking-real.
But when Luca finally admitted he was in love with Sophie??! Like??? No shit, Sherlock???
And everyone's reaction. I MEAN, C'MON PEOPLE. EVEN TRUMP WITH THAT BRAIN COULD'VE FIGURED THAT OUT. BYE.
(hide spoiler)]
Fast run-down with some of the other characters:
Nic is still so full of himself, so no surprise there.
Felice is an asshole. Still no surprise.
Dom's the same.
Wow, I just remembered there's a lot of assholes, huh.
Millie is fucking hilarious, I love her too.
Valentino's so necessary to this story, and such a raw and beautiful character, who has gone through a lot. He's definitely the cinnamon apple of this book.
(view spoiler)[You know what wasn't necessary though? HIS DEATH. DAMMIT *goes to cry for the 123848134th time* (hide spoiler)]
I don't know how to feel because I was expecting this book to have a lot of cute moments between two characters. And well, that's definitely not what I had. But, there were still some salvaging moments.
And there were things missing and some which I hoped would turn out differently, but I can't talk about it because they're mainly big spoilers.
Oh but, it gave me all the feels, alright. The angst, the sadness, the fluffiness, the happiness, all at once. I almost burned the book, no joke. (Don't worry, everything turned alright in the end). Besides, even though I guessed the plot-twist (the only talent/super-power I have with books, seriously), it was ah-mah-zing.
That doesn't make it bad, though. I enjoyed every single sentence written in this novel. Miss Doyle will never stop surprising me. And I sure hope she gets more recognition.
All in all, this motherfucking book damaged me emotionally on a whole new level. I wasn't expecting that much, to be honest. I wasn't expecting it to be so dark. And I loved that.
Now I understand why everyone is saying is such a "bittersweet ending". Wow, you, Catherine Doyle. You are the reason of so many heartbreaks and happy moments.
I'm definitely sad now that this trilogy is over, and I'm going to miss it like hell. (I'm also going to miss Luca more than I miss everything else in this life). But it's good to know that I'm not going to go crazy again when everything goes to hell. Yet, those times were totally worth it. I want more because I could never get enough of these characters, but I don't want anything else bad happening to anyone. So... It's best if we leave it like this.
This could be my favorite trilogy of all time. It's very difficult to me to put how much I love it into words. Also, it's super underrated, like its author. Incredibly underrated. But I'm kind of happy with that because I get to be selfish and keep them just to myself and a few crazy people like me.
That's it, even though I said the same thing like 20 times.
Wow, it's really over. I can't function. What now?

I'm seriously dying while I wait for this book.
Cat is killing me with the POVs and she already let us know how the book begins! Here's first chapter.
I can't wait anymore. All these little sneak peeks and the POVs are making me anxious!! I NEED MY LUCA DAILY DOSE NOW.
____________________
THE COVER
It's definitely my favorite one of the three!
________________
Okay, so there isn't a cover, not even a title... And you expect me to wait a year to read this?!
I'm used to waiting. You won't win Doyle, you won't.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.This series quickly became a favourite of mine when I first read Vendetta. Deeply within the mafia world of Chicago, our MC, Sophie, now knows that she is a member of the Marino crime family, the family that her friends, the Falcones, want to kill. She's gone to the Falcones, and Luca, in particular, for help and protection, now that she has no one left. As she becomes a fully fledged member, she is torn*5/5 ALL THE STARS*This book blew my mind! I cannot tell you how emotional it all made me, I read it whole in one sitting and couldn't even stop thinking about it the next day. It's dark, questionable, full of action and suspense. Breathtaking and heartbreaking. This series is truly very memorable for me and I know it will remain as one of my favourite series of all time! Plus I think we can all agree that Luca Falcone is the best!Review (kinda) of Blood for Blood short stories. You can find all
I finished it in one sitting and it's currently 3:22 am. Review to come!
Don't get me wrong, I would fight tooth and nail for Luca, who was, again, amazing. I don't think he's ever disappointed me, and given my usual contempt for this kind of mafia ish male-lead, that's saying something : he's respectful, smart, protective in all the ways that count and absolutely adorable. Yet even him couldn't make me stomach the absolute bullshit that was Mafiosa. ✘ The plot was erratic at best, throwing the most unbelievable twists in our face over and over, and if the whole
Its getting to a point that unless the book is phenomenal I usually will put the book off to the side till the series it completely out and then eventually get back and read them all. However this is a trilogy I've loved since the beginning and have read every book the moment I could get my hands on it. I've ordered the first and last book off of BookDepository.com because it wasn't on Amazon yet so I had to wait a little long to get this 3rd book and it was well worth the wait.If you haven't
3.5 to 4*I consider myself lucky that I could move straight onto this book because hate it when I have to wait.This picks up straight from 'Inferno' and Sophie is wearing more masks these days, she's struggling with the loss of her mother, settling into her new family, training to become an assassin and by day she's just your average school girl.All the same characters are in play, Millie again proves herself to be an amazing and loyal best friend and my favourite character in the whole book. Is
