VENDETTA

Book ID/图书代码： 11701214B73845

English Summary/英文概要： “Brought up on the colourful culture of movies like Goodfellas and The Godfather, Cat Doyle wanted to write a mob thriller with a girl at the heart of it all. Vendetta is an exciting and emotionally charged story that does just that….Danger, intrigue, love. It’s a modern-day, mafia Romeo and Juliet that’s criminally good” – Barry Cunningham, Publisher, Chicken House.

For Sophie, it feels like another slow, hot summer in Cedar Hill, waitressing at her family’s diner and hanging out with her best friend, Milly. But then someone moves into the long-abandoned mansion up the block – a family of five Italian brothers, each one hotter than the last. Powerless to resist honey-eyed Nicoli, Sophie finds herself falling for him – and wilfully ignoring the warning signs. Why are Nic’s knuckles always cut and bruised? Why does he carry a monogrammed knife? And why does his arrogant and infuriating older brother Luca refuse to let her see him? Whatever questions she asks, the answer is always the same: ‘La famiglia prima di tutto – family above all’.

And as the boys’ dark secrets begin to come to light, Sophie is confronted with stinging truths about her own family, too. Suddenly, she’s torn between two warring dynasties: the one she’s related to and the one she’s now in love with. She’ll have to choose between loyalty and passione. When she does, blood will spill, hearts will break. Because in this twisted underworld, dishonour can mean the difference between life and death…

The story line hooked me from the start. I really liked the writing, too. It wasn’t over dramatic or trying too hard to be something it wasn’t.
