Anthony seemed to want peace at first glance. But he is aware that he is a monster. The conversation makes sense for dodgy characters. The Broken Brothers struck me as a menacing group of guys. But, the Ribisi crime family is also, which leads to tense conflicts.

Despite not having read the first novel, I was nonetheless entertained. I had no sense of ignorance towards anything. I was never able to foretell the future. I was engaged by the author’s description of hazardous scenarios. I was able to identify with each character and their goals. There were layers of pain and loyalty under all the fury.

I was startled to learn that an Italian crime family had a Black mafia figure. This novel will appeal to readers who appreciate drama and excitement. You’ll undoubtedly experience a bit of the underworld.
