Caught in a deadly game, Dominic Deluca must choose between the family he leads and the family he loves, as a father's war collides with a mobster's oath.
Dominic Deluca has two families. The first is his wife Maria and young daughter Isabella. The second is the Deluca New Jersey Crime Family, which he leads with an iron fist. But when a rival family kidnaps his daughter, Dominic will go to war as both a feared crime boss and a father desperate to get his little girl back. Dominic's loyalties to both families will be tested when the FBI approaches him with an offer to help. Will Dominic betray his oath to the Mob? Or will he put his daughter at risk by rejecting their aid?
9/10 Not full marks because I struggled to get through the first chapter. It was weird, did nothing for me and I nearly gave up. Luckily for me I plodded on. Although I found it padded out in places it was easy to move on quickly. The odd typo but what the heck I was more interested in the drama....and what an exciting drama it turned out to be! It's gritty, it's tense and it's very addictive. Gangs at war, insults given but not taken kindly. When the dirt hits the fan it's explosive! There is more to crime and violence when you're the Boss...the Don, there is family and there are rules. Don't break any rules....but someone did! It's a powerful and thrilling read with violence, torture (so expect blood, lots of blood)) revenge and justice. There is a lot of emotion and a great big dollop of love running through the centre of the storyline and it just sucked me in. It all played out in my head perfectly so I couldn't give it less than 5* regardless of my niggles. Recommended.
