Code of Silence by Shantel TessierMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐ stars
Code of Silence is a dark, mafia read by Shantel Tessier. The story follows the characters Luca and Haven and the development of their relationship which is pretty complicated. We see the story through the eyes of both characters and the decisions they’ve made to get to where they are and like most relationships, nothing is as simple as you think.
Haven is predominantly a strong character, but at times I felt that her idealistic picture of Luca overshadowed who he really was as a person. She kind of knows from the beginning that Luca is part of the mafia and then gets all upset when he makes certain decisions. You do see the development as her as a character as the book goes on, but at points I did find her pretty selfish.
Luca is also unapologetic in what he had to do to keep not only his family safe, but Haven safe. There are moments in the book where he is quite cruel to Haven, but it certainly helps her to see who he is as a man and what he is up against.
There is a lot going on in this story, not only from the main characters but also from sub characters that have their own story to tell. The story between Haven and her mum was quite heart-breaking when you find out what went on there, as well as the story of other female characters (its not great being a female in the mafia)
Sexy scenes between the two characters are dark and steamy and overall it is a page turning, dark mafia book.
ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review 😊
