Vicious Reign

Five Families, Book 3

By: Penelope Black

Narrated by: Allie Piper, Gideon Frost

Fate is a fickle mistress. She gives as easily as she takes, and she makes no apologies for it.

When I’m on the precipice of an inconceivable loss and a betrayal slices me wide open, I have a decision to make. I can stay the polite, subservient girl—or I can shed my societal restraints and become the person I was destined to be.

With my dark Italian kings by my side, we don’t just change the rules, we remake the whole game. Gone is the girl with stars in her eyes, and in her place is a woman with vengeance in her veins.

It’s time I stop asking for permission and start claiming what’s mine.

Good, but unanswered questions

This was a fun series! Overall I enjoyed it, but kind of expected more spice being a RH. We finally got more in this one, but very little. Aside from that the plot is exciting and I enjoyed the characters. The twist at the end was really fast paced and would have like it more if it was expanded a bit. I wanted to know more about Maddie’s sister, like wtf was her deal? And also her extended family she just found out about. So a lot of things I wish were expanded on. But overall enjoyed it.

Maddie’s Reign

Loved Maddie’s story! Such a great end to their story! Loved this series! What a great HEA for Maddie and her men!

Get to book 3 in the series

I struggled through book 1 & 2 but this one picks up halfway through. Ive been trying so hard to like this series. I am going to get the next one now that this has gotten better.

Decent story

I’m stopping here, there is another book but it’s just not worth losing another credit to get the last one. Maybe if it goes on sale for cheap. I’ve listened to better mafia stories. But it was okay. I think it would have been better if it was in duet narration. There was a decent plot twist but nothing came of it. It’s the only reason I’m interested in the last book.
