Fidelitate Coniuncti.

What a spectacular book! To be honest, I wasn't expecting much for this one after reading the previous book, Vendetta but Catherine Doyle didn't disappoint me at all. *happy dancing*

In the beginning, Sophie struggled to embrace all those truths she had found out (Jack, the Falcones, and even their vendetta, the Marino family) and she realized that she could never get out of this mayhem. She couldn't pretend to be a normal 17-year-old girl having a happy vacation and han

Fidelitate Coniuncti.

I was tired of being swayed this way and that by people with corrupt morals and pretty words. I was tired of hearing people out, of giving the benefit of the doubt only to have it thrown back in my face.

Simply put, she was devastated but at the same time, she became more mature, and I really loved her as a character. What impressed me most was the fact that she'd come such a long way to be shaped into the Sophie she is now.

I guess no one can be painted with just one brush. There is light and shade in all of us, pain and hardship, and some of us rise from it while others are darkened by it.

As for the romance, Sophie's relationship with Nic Falcone went from bad to worse in this book.

We were both just a couple of liars with blood on our hands and agendas more important than our trust in one another.

It's more obvious to see that they didn't and probably never loved each other this entire time.

"That's the wrong answer."
"What's the right answer?"
"The fact that you don't know says it all."

Nic was all about family glory and pride; he cared about his position and profession as an assassin in the Mafia circle more than his love, as he claimed it.

Every second seemed to pull him further away from the boy I had thought he was, and I was starting to wonder if I had tricked myself--if the feeling of needing someone, of wanting someone to want me in a world where everyone had turned their back on me, had masked the truth of everything.

In the first book, I would never put Sophie and Nic's brother, Luca, in the same sentence; I mean, he showed extreme hatred the first time he saw her and also warned her to stay away from Nic many times and blah blah blah. However, his attitude towards Sophie had a 180-degree change since the start of the book, or maybe the last part of Vendetta. Moreover, his behavior betrayed his typical icy look and softened whenever Sophie was around. *squee!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

"You're like ... a rare artefact. And it would be a shame if you got broken."

Hopefully, my suspicion about their sparks of love is right! *Please let it be!*

"I cared that the (view spoiler)[Marino (hide spoiler)] standing in front of my entire family with a red target on her forehead was the only (view spoiler)[Marino (hide spoiler)] in the history of the world that I have ever and will ever care about."

Aside from the romance, the author added more in-depth ideas in Inferno compared to Vendetta. Catherine captured the psychological moment in human beings perfectly and she depicted our deepest desire, fear, and the most primal reactions when dealing with tough decisions really well. Unlike the simple yet shallow descriptions in the previous book, this time, she managed to bring a Mafia story to a whole new level and somehow successfully resonated with the readers.

"He will always place himself where the threat is greatest. And that's how I know he's outside that door right now."

She used short stories and pieces of memory from Sophie and other characters to explain the logistic of human behavior along with our mind; therefore, she also brought life and colors into those characters. Thanks to her new writing technique, I was able to feel connected and experience the remaining journey with Sophie.

At about 70% of the story, there was an incredibly unexpected twist which gave the initial plot a sharp turn and I freaking LOVE it. More secrets were revealed and once again, Sophie had to cope with the consequences completely alone. And this time, guess what? I'm confident that she'll get through them like a badass rebel. Besides, she's too hard to kill. *death glare with evil grin*

If I had learnt anything these past few weeks, it was to expect the unexpected. And trust no one.

Undoubtedly, I was extremely surprised by how much the story had improved and I'm 200% sure Blood for Blood is definitely a worth-reading-trilogy for everyone. To sum up, there are just too many unpredictable things could happen in the next installment! I seriously can't wait to find out how far will my beloved "Luphie" go and what'll happen between the Mafia enemies. *counting down to Jan. 5th, 2017 already......* ...more

To be honest, I don't entirely remember much of what happened in the ending of Vendetta. What I do remember--from the entire book, not just the ending--is that I didn't like it all that much: there was ista-love, and a potential love triangle (though, honestly, I think the readers saw more into it than the author dished out--but more on that a bit later).

Early of 2017, I've read Vendetta which I've liked but not obsessed with it unlike the mafia books I've enjoyed. Honestly speaking, I'm hesitant on continuing this trilogy and it took me a while to convince myself on giving it a second chance. I'm glad I did because this sequel stepped up to its game. It's more action-packed, thrilling and plot driven. The revelations were impress I literally forgot to write my full review of this book because I'm busy by the time I finished it (New Year's Eve).

It's more action-packed, thrilling and plot driven. The revelations were impressive. I'll try my best to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible.

Inferno continues from the ending of the previous book. Sophie's uncle Jack Gracewell was nowhere to be found and The Falcones are hunting him. Later on, they figured out Jack sought protection from the Falcone family's rival, The Marinos. These two crime families are currently on truce but after the events from the previous book, the war between them resurfaced and Sophie Gracewell became the pawn in this game. She must choose where her loyalty lies before it's too late.

What a ride. Props to Catherine Doyle for just making Vendetta a warm-up! This sequel has a better plot and more mafia aspect to it. We get to know how the rivalry between The Falcones and The Marinos began and new characters were introduced. Like Elena Falcone and Donata Marino, these two Mafia Queens have the scratch and claws and both are intimidating. I want to see these two have a showdown in the final book. 😎😈

Sophie Gracewell has more character development. She's less naive, more mature and braver. There are times I find her reckless but I like she owned up to the consequences of her actions.

What I really love about this: Luca Falcone takes the spotlight. YES!! I love love love love love the Falcone underboss shines in this book. Fantastic character development and can we just talk about how sweet this guy is?! This book was blessed with a lot of scenes with Luca. I SWOON OVER LUCA FALCONE 😍❤️ #TeamLucaAlltheWay

The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars: Nic Falcone. This punk irritated the crap out of me. He lets down Sophie several times and he's gonna say "I love you" ? How disappointing. He broke all his promises and if I were Sophie, I won't trust him anymore.

Last book for 2017. 💗 Happy New Year everyone!

I take my hat off…if I were wearing one.

Seriously this is an ACTUAL story. With an actual plot and action and romance and intrigue and twists and, and, and…so much. I appreciated the slow movement of the story the fact that it was 416 pages and not 300 or less because there is more story to tell and more of it that I didn’t have to put down and wait.

The character development of each of the characters was FANTASTIC. The relationships between Sophie & Nic and Sophie & Luca develop slowly and naturally over the course of the book which I like. I get to see the REAL characters of all three and their relationships together. Then you really get to see behind the lives and faces of every character, what they are really like and their stories it was all just amazingly well done.

Sophie still as silly as ever…

Nic, still has blah as ever…

Luca, still sighing over him. With the dark hair and blue eyes…HE was the ONE character that made me want to press on in Book 1, Vendetta, I found him to be FASCINATING and how the author wove him in. With book two we see so much of him you can’t wait to see what he’ll do next. He is a WONDERFUL “bad-ass” character who isn’t good but who isn’t bad. He’s brooding, quiet, aloof, the hero. Deep down he is a swoon worthy character who just was born in the wrong family…*sigh* Luca….

The romance was perfect. You think there is going to be a love-triangle but really there isn’t. There is “insta-love” in book one which made me almost put it down. In this one there is real nice slow moving romance that keeps you wanting more. I appreciated the realness of it, the sweet tender moments of friendship that slowly moves to something more.

Overall I LOVED this book…duh.

Sexual Content: moderate (some kissing)
Language: heavy (a few F words and a few other explicit language)

The character development was incredible, it was brilliant to watch them all unfold as individuals but also their relationships with each other. I warmed to so many of these characters and felt so inclined to love them. I especially adored Luca, Millie and Sophie. I loved getting to know Luca's character more in this book (I think I may be slightly in love with him). I knew I liked him after reading Vendetta but I found myself warming to him even more from the first moment we met him in Inferno. He was gorgeous, witty, funny, loyal and yet it was heartbreaking to witness him not being able to fully show those parts of himself. He had a depth to him which was so great and the different battles he found himself fighting were portrayed brilliantly. I think Millie is possibly one of my favourite "minor/best friend" characters I've read about. She was incredibly loyal to Sophie but also smart about what was and wasn't realistic. She made me laugh on numerous occasions and is honestly the kind of person I would want as a best friend. There were so many times she reminded me slightly of myself so I felt I could relate to her (*cue the puffling quote*).
Sophie was an awesome protagonist. She wasn't totally naive and didn't let her emotions utterly cloud her vision when it came to reality. Yet, at the same time, she was simply human and therefore couldn't disregard her emotions entirely. She was down to earth and once again I found myself relating to her personality hugely (she makes almost as many Disney references as I do, which automatically makes me love her). I loved her relationship with both her mother and Millie. Each character in this book had so much to them which made each and everyone of them so intriguing to read about.
The romance in this book was gorgeous. I especially enjoyed the fact that the whole story didn't entirely revolve around it. The rest of the world wasn't forgotten which I really appreciated as it didn't take away from the pure thrill of the story unfolding around them. Yet, my heart melted at every hint of romance through out the book. It was done so well (The bouquet of violets?!? My heart hurt in the best possible way.) The story line for this book was everything I had hoped for and more. It was gripping, thrilling, exhilarating, romantic, heartbreaking and I didn't never wanted it to stop. There were a few plot twists in which I really didn't expect (which very rarely happens to me so I appreciated them hugely!!) Overall, I adored Inferno. I didn't want it to end and yet I found it impossible to put down. The fact that I have to wait another year to see what happens next is almost painful. I just want everyone to read this book!! I highly recommend. ...more
