My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Hunted by
a Shadow is book 3 in the Kings of Mafia series by Michelle Heard and boy is it
a page turner. The story focuses on Renzo Torrisi and Skylar. When something
tragic happens to one of Renzo’s family members, he is not only devastated but
angry, angry enough to set the world on fire and find out who committed this
atrociousness against not only him, but the Mafia in general. In his quest for
justice, he finds Skylar, a woman who is only trying to survive the punches
life has thrown at her, but her survival comes at a cost which puts her in the
path of Renzo, and he is going to do everything in his power to punish Skylar….even
when he knows deep down that she’s innocent.
This is a
fast-paced story, set in the world of the Mafia, so expect bloodshed, torture
and passion thrown into the mix. Renzo is a hard character to like at the
beginning and this can be seen in the way that he treats Skylar. Although she
isn’t a doormat, it does take a lot for her to stand up against Renzo. But like
most enemies to lovers’ books, things start to turn around about halfway
through the book when Skylar goes through her own tragedy. Throw in a lot of confusion
and mixed messages and these two characters taking a long way to get to a short
cut and you haven’t got a bad romance. Passion definitely flows between the two
as does some action and suspense as Renzo tries to find the answers not only to
his questions but Skylar’s too.
This book
does have quite a few triggers for some readers, so be warned before you go in.
But overall, this was an enjoyable book which wiled away a few hours.
ARC received for a
fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
