Kai Tortured

New York Mafia Vengeance #3

by Alexandra Iff

The Final Stand

Maisy
Bound to an enemy I never knew I belonged to, my life is nothing but a pawn in their deadly games. Now I’m marked for death by those I dared to love, and the end is closer than ever.

Orion
We should have killed her long time ago. Yet, here I am, drenched in blood and chaos, fighting to shield her from the very assassins we unleashed. The line between love and hate blurs - how can I save her without losing myself?

Logan
A single call, a single decision I can't take back. Now, racing against time and my own demons, I strive to undo what's set in motion. But some choices, like bullets, can't be recalled.

Kai
They thought they could take her from me. They thought wrong. In a world ruled by power and fear, I chose her above all. But I thought saving her would be my redemption, yet, wherever she goes death and destruction follow me, and the battle lines are being redrawn over and over. I waged a war against fate itself, but at what cost?

I've been patiently (impatiently) awaiting Kai Tortured, Book 3 in this New York Mafia Vengeance series after the brutal cliffhanger in book 2, Orion Punished.

I read the first paragraph in this book and that was it, I was hooked back into this world. I love the author's style of writing and the way she has me inhaling Maisy and her men, Logan, Orion and Kia's story, as easily as the oxygen I breathe.

The journey every character goes on. The emotions they evoke. The torment and twists and turns. I'm mindful of writing this without spoilers, but oh my, the angst and overwhelming need to rain havoc and pain on a certain someone 👀👀 when they rashly made a decision. Maisy also, there were some tense moments that I wished I could shake some sense into her 😅😅

The growth these characters go through, but the ultimate loyalty they show and worship they bestow on Maisy, absolutely earned their redemption. And the spoils of that will leave you breathless. Alexandra has a knack of delivering plot twists that you just don't expect, and the spicy scenes 🥵🔥oooh boy do they burn 🔥❤️‍🔥.

Be mindful of the trigger warnings if that's your thing, because this storyline takes you on a wild ride and you'll be clutching your pearls for dear life 😅😅

I'm sad now that I've finished the conclusion in this world. I could easily re-read all 3 books and disappear into this world once again.

I can't wait to see what this author writes next and I'll be screeching up, first in the queue to read it.

If you like your books full of fast paced, darker themed romance, mystery, intrigue, so much angst and breathtaking spicy scenes you will not be disappointed. Dive right in between those silky and flame ridden pages 🖤🥀🥵🔥❤️‍🔥🫶

Orion,Logan,Kai and maisy don't have it easy throughout this book either and things seem to go from bad to worse for all of them..

There were some parts where I was like 'don't be stupid' and other parts where my heart went out to Maisy, all she's ever wanted was a family and to belong somewhere but she's never quite managed to be able to make her dream a reality. She craves the family life and her sole focus has been on getting Rosey back any means nessasary but Rosey had other plans.. ones that Maisy never saw coming until it was too late

This book is jam packed and just when you think things have finally settled down for Maisy and her men something else crawls out the woodwork and they have no choice but to fight and keep fighting.

Throughout this book we see Orion, Logan and Kai struggle not just with each other but with themselves, it becomes an internal battle over what they SHOULD do and what they WANT... Can they overcome everything that's thrown their way..👀👀

If you have read book 1 & 2 you will definitely want to read Kai's book also!! The suspense in this story keeps you wanting more but also wanting to smack some sense into Maisy 😂😂 after everything they have all been through, can they have the life they want OR will it all go up in smoke? 👀

Oh what a bittersweet book!! I both loved and hated it at the same time. I hated it because it was the last book in the series and I want more!! I really hope Alexandra surprises us with another one. I loved it because we got all the answers to everything that we needed. Maisy really did grow into her own bada$$ self in this book. I loved how the guys had so much silly banter between them in this book. Although I will say the guys had me angry at the beginning!! Especially Logan and the Orion. Kai was just so tore up about what they had learned but still wanted to love and protect Maisy so he was forgivable. But they finally come to terms with it but I still wanted to smack them. I was so shocked they had acted that way. I mean I understood but then I didn't.  But by the time everything played out and all the questions was answered and people put in their place. It was the perfect conclusion to this trilogy.  I just want more of my boys. I'm just greedy girl for them. This is one of my favorite RH mafia series that's been written!! And like I said Alexandra Iff has quickly worked her way into one of my favorite author spots!! I highly highly recommend this series!! Be ready to read one right after the other because cliffy's!! But so so good!! A must read series!!

Back again with this series I CANNOT get enough of. Kai Tortured is the third and final book in the series (starts with Orion Ruined)

Here are the tropes that we all know and love
✧ dark romance (check TWs)
✧ maf!a romance
✧ reverse harem (MFMM)
✧ praise and degradation
✧ forced proximity

Each book is short so you’ll be able to speed past this series like it’s just one book. Btw, ALL books are released so right now is the best time to pick up this series. Book lovers of sadie kincaid will love books of alexandra iff. I promise you.

Let me tell you, the smut?? 10/10. There’s a lot but like it’s good quality. DONE RIGHT.

The characters?? 10/10 I dream about them at night, like slowly resentful no mafia men took me into their house yet, like whats that about :|

There’s literally one for everyone
You love bikers? That’s Kai
You love hot and cold bosses? Orion for you
You love a man in a suit with a thing for knives?? Logan’s got you.

I literally cannot recommend this series enough. Like you NEED it right now. I LOVE IT

Overall: 5/5 (slayed so hard)

So you NEED to go grab this series (Orioned Ruined, Logan Punished, Kai Tortured) right now. It’s available on KU and discreet covers on amazon 💃

[Yes_I_Read_Lots · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh Kai …I feel like I have waited for you for such a long time… Orion and Logan were always the strongest … but you have a special place in my heart. These men and their love for Maisey , will inevitably get them into trouble.

Rosey (Maisey twin sister), is dangerous and a threat. Maisey has such a good heart and believes the best in people, which can and does lead her into trouble.

As one would expect, there are twists and turns along the way and life doesn’t always go their way for Maisey and her men.

Yes I cried, yes I screamed, but i eventually got the ending that I hoped for.

[Lemon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Plot: 3.5/5 • Smut: 5/5 —————> I don’t understand how there’s another book after this. This is where the series should have ended. I should have known she was going to wind up pregnant when they took out her implant. However, I was hoping it wouldn’t have been till closer to the end of the series. Now there’s six kids running around? That just ruined it for me. I, as a mother, know the chaos that entails. How they’re going to run a syndicate after that?


Goodbye my sweet brothers in arms. It was a wild ride. I enjoyed it. Here is where I part ways.

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kai is my favorite character from the series. I am so sad that this series ended. I am also glad Kai and the other guys Orion and Logan find their happy ending. I had the feeling and I am pleased that my instinct is right. It's bittersweet for the guys and Maisy and her sister. What a rollercoaster ride this series is.

It is suspenseful and full of passion. Maisy is a stubborn girl but not afraid to fight for what she thinks is right, especially for her twin sister. Love wins above all.

[Rylee Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve enjoyed this series my biggest complaint with the first three books is lack of storyline. It’s there but vaguely it feels very scattered and not well thought out. There’s consistent spelling and grammar errors and in this boom specifically some of the less important characters names were changed and it was confusing to decipher who was being talked about. Other than that these books were great! Lots of spice🥵

[Alison-Joan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kai Tortured completed me—I loved every second of it. This book is raw, intense, and deeply emotional, peeling back Kai’s layers in a way that’s both brutal and beautiful. The spice is, once again, off the charts, but it’s the aching vulnerability beneath the heat that hit hardest. Maisy’s strength burns brighter than ever, and the bond between her and all three men is now unstoppable. This series keeps raising the stakes—and I’m addicted.

[Sharon Betts · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a fantastic series. I've really enjoyed this mafia story. This is the third book and a fabulous conclusion. It picks up from the end of Logan Punished. At times you have to question Maisy's decision making as she gets into trouble again. But the 3 mafia heads as always find a way to help her. Plenty of hot scenes too!

[Alice Regal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I keep saying omg but this time i seriously mean it! These books are totally different! I love the plot - everything comes clear in Kai Tortured, and how it ends. I'm melting just thinking about it. Dark mafia romance, with so much of everything, Orion Logan and Kai as always, over-deliver, and Maisy is just... Maisy. All we need now is book four - MAISY RULES, right?

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

A dark romance with such a crazy twist, the plot is amazing and the surprise at the end of it is again, superb. In this book Kai takes a centre stage with things happening (not giving away spoilers) but Logan is being an ass and everything tumbles downward from there. Read the books. Just do it. You won't be sorry.

[Marie]

Fantastic series!

This series was amazing! I did not want it to end. I need more! Please tell me there's going to be more books! Such a great plot, sexy, steamy, couldn't wait to get to the next one!

[Brian · Rating 5 out of 5]

perfect

Ending the reign of a despicable woman maisy learns that blood isn’t the only thing she learns about deception and lies. Her men protect her. It’s one heck of a story. Dynamite 🧨. And 🥵.

[Milva · Rating 4 out of 5]

You have to read this serie. This is book 3 and it's awesome. How three men can hate and love one woman. They do anything for her. Even when she's stubborn and cause a lot of trouble. A must read.

[Becky Ballenger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kai Tortured was amazing!!!! I absolutely love dark mafia reads!!!! Alexandra Iff has written an excellent series!!! I can’t wait to read more from her!!!

[Leslie Marsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this series!

[Cassi B · Rating 3 out of 5]

Spoilers, kinda, for one scene only.

********

I love mafia and love some good breeding kink scenes. This book totally ruined the series, however, with the big scene of all the guys going back and forth from ass to vaginal penetration. Just so much nope with that! Clean yourself before swapping!

Apart from that, I mostly enjoyed the book. The previous two were much better.

[Dawn Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

Having the absolute honour of receiving the ARC copy of this spanker of a series, I am pleased to report the far too long anticipated wait to find out what happens to Maisey, Orion, Logan and Kai was totally worth it.

The third and final book starts with a bang and it’s all systems go where the story continues exactly where the second book finished, keeping you on edge as it grabs you by the balls! You are immersed straight away wondering what in the world will happen.

Alexandra doesn’t hold back, it’s spice level 1000 🌶️, down right filth ❤️‍🔥 and full of angst and bad decisions, upsetting and lots of love; a total ride from start to finish I am actually gutted there are no more!!

Gonna be honest I was a bit annoyed at Maisey’s choices and her blindness in certain situations, but I did get to understand it and I just wanted to shake her and scream “what the heck!!” Haha! It’s all worth the heartache and frustration I promise.

Spoiler !! I’m really glad there is a happy ending for Maisey and the boys, gotta be a happy ending no matter what or my heart would be broken for them all especially after everything they have been through.

I just hope Alexandra writes more filthy, spicy, naughty reverse harem books she really does get them spot on.
