The Silencer

The Unexpectedly Twisted book 1

This is a spin-off series of Cora Rose’s Unexpected series. The Unexpected series is on my TBR but i haven’t started them yet. But I feel like I didn't need the stories from Diablo and Ben to enjoy this book, which showcases Cora's ability to incorporate just enough from previous stories to make you understand the connections between all the characters.   

I love a mafia romance and this is just unhinged enough that you can’t put down the book until you have finished it. 

The story starts off with a bang and it never really stops.

Anthony Costello is the mafia boss and father of Diablo and Angel but he is also the sexiest man alive according to Angel’s best friend Tatum.

 Let me tell you Tatum is multifaceted, one minute he is sweet and innocent and the next unhinged and oh so cheeky. The banter and flirting between Anthony and Tatum is top tier and we get the perfect grumpy/sunshine couple. The way Tatum slowly wrecks Anthony's walls and the fact that Anthony never really stood a chance is funny as h*ll. Not only because Tatum is a h*rny mess but because Anthony's jealousy, especially when it comes to Tatum and Bane, is unfounded because Tatum just wants him.

And Bane my man you are a gem, slightly unhinged (or alot) but man you are funny. 

The overall story regarding the mafia and its endeavors keeps you on your toes. Some things that are cleared up in this book, like who the mafia mole was could be seen as coming from the left field but just works because of who the characters are and how they are as people. I can’t wait for the next book and whoever gets book 3 because I feel like there is so much more to the storyline that needs to be explored.
