Deadly Deceit

New York City Syndicate, Book 1

By: Settle Myer

Narrated by: Mia Madison, Christian Leatherman

Delancy:

Most people have normal, boring jobs. Not me. I kill for a living. I'm a hitman for the Queensboro Mob, and I'm on a path of vengeance, vowing to destroy my rival, the leader of the Empire mafia and the most powerful man in New York City. But I find myself distracted by my beautiful neighbor.

I hate her. I want her. I've become obsessed with her. I want to know everything about her. Then I want to make her mine.

Noah:

Being a mafia princess means eyes are always on me. It makes hiding my secrets difficult. But they must stay hidden. No matter what. No distractions allowed. I find myself distracted by my neighbor though.

He's sexy. He's annoying. I can't stand him. Yet there's something about him that pulls me in.

Maybe it's the way his gaze lingers on my body. Or the secrets in his dark eyes. But whatever it is, I'm determined to find out.

Contains mature themes.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith Meets The Sopranos

Originally, I read the sequel first as an ARC, but wanted to get to this at some point. I know the plot was spoiled, but I still dove in as Noah and Delancy intrigued me.

One of the things I liked about this is the bi representation. I can't go into too much detail as this story is so spicy. Outside of that, it's a Dark Mafia Romance for sure. And it does fill in the blanks for the ARC that I read of the sequel. The enemies to Lovers troupe is in full swing as Delancy and Noah fight each other for real. I will warn that it's not a light read as it goes into some violent territories.
