TOP 100 INTERNATIONAL AMAZON BESTSELLER

From USA Today Bestselling Authors Cora Kenborn and Catherine Wiltcher comes Corrupt Gods, a brand new arranged marriage mafia duet.

A Carrera is a master of deception.
A Santiago never forgets.

Santi Carrera is the war I never saw coming.
A beautiful liar.
Ruthless.
Captivating…
The architect of my own undoing.

He twisted my loyalty into an ultimatum.
He chained me to his side with a vow of deceit.
I should despise him for all he’s done to me...
But behind those dark eyes, I see his pain.
I recognize his conflict because it’s ours to share.

Now, I’m a pawn in a new war.
Stolen by a stranger, I’ve been taken to a foreign land.
My fate rests in the fragile truce between our families.
They will tear this world apart to find me.
But he's the only man who can save me.

*This is book 2 of a new dark romance duet. Bad Blood, book 1, is live.
**Tainted Blood is set in the Santiago and Carrera worlds, but it is NOT necessary to have read either trilogy beforehand."

Good mafia duet

This is Santi Carrera and Thalia Santiago's story, it's the second installment in the Corrupt Gods Duet, you would want to get Bad Blood first, so you understand what is going on. The story itself was entertaining, the characters where interesting. However the Mexican and Spanish sides of the story bothered me a bit, I would suggest some editing on this parts as the phrases where a bit off. The audiobook narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Vivienne LaRue was good, they mispronounced some things in Spanish or didn't understand some of them very well, but I understand they are not native speakers so leaving that aside I think they did a good job, the pacing was good, the sound was balanced, sometimes a bit lower on one of the narrators, but nothing unsettling. If you like mafia stories, this is a good duet to get into.

5 Lifelines over Bloodlines STARS

Picking up after the events of the last book we find that not only was Thalia taken but also Santi’s sister who has a very big secret. I absolutely loved Santi in this one. He will do what he has to to get Thalia back. The Carrera’s and the Santiago’s both will have to work together to uncover the trafficking ring and save their loved ones. I know this isn’t a funny book but I did laugh a few times at the men when they were arguing back and forth. I look forward to more books in this world.

Narration was 5 STARS
I LOVE Aaron Sherlock’s voice for Santi 😍

Tainted Blood

Tainted Blood is the second book in the Corrupt Gods Duet. This book picks up right where book one ends. This book is the second half of Santi Carrera and Thalia's story.

Santi and Thalia have had a rough go at it in the first book. Thalia becomes his when he catches her stealing from him. Being on opposite sides of the mafia they are born to be enemies. Santi did whatever he could to get Thalia to be his.

However, now they are having a new battle. Thalia has been stolen from Santi. Thalia is not fighting for her life, and Sanit is fighting as well to get her back to him.

Can Thalia and Santi find their way back to each other? Can Santi get revenge on those who wronged him and Thalia? Will Santi and Thalia get their happy ending?

I really enjoyed this series, and the narrators that read this book were great!

Amazing with breath taking suspense🔥🔥

Wow, reading through these series from Carrera trilogy, Santiago trilogy, and this duet has been amazingly written and narrated. Such an wonderful coming together of rival families. The writing styles of the authors are fantastic with hot scenes, twists and turns. Locking forward to reading Rush and Ruin, Bullets and Thorns and others to come in this Carrera and Santiago storyline. Thanks to the superb narrator with authentic accents👌🏽🔥

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

SUSPENSEFUL BOOK! Love the narrators, could stop listening to this one!! Had me on my toes!!

Hmm

I did enjoy this book but I feel like it’s not needed. Love the sweet ending! Aaron & Vivienne did an excellent job at narrating

Love this world of characters!!!

Santi and Talia are back!!! I love them! That cliffy from the first book had me reeling.... so I was super glad to finally! I can not even articulate how swoony Santi became is this story! GAH! Before he even knew that his sister was also taken, just for information on Talia he went above and beyond to save the one man he hated most in the rival cartel! And then he would stop at nothing to get them back. These 2 give me all the feels. This book wasn't too spicy, but it was totally action packed and there was some fantastic sexual tension!
And the narration was fantastic! Pulled me right in and wouldn't let me go! Love this duet of books! Hoping for more from some of the other characters in the books.... Like for Ella! And get more about Lola and Sam! Definitely want more from this combined world!

5/5

Tainted Blood starts right where Bad Blood ends. Tainted Blood has some darker elements that sensitive readers but not for me. I loved how strong Thalia is and the survivor she became. I've read both the series that this duet is a spinoff from so I loved seeing their parents. Cora Kenborn and Catherine Wiltcher have teamed up to create a great spin-off. Tainted Blood is fast paced with quite a few twists and turns, some I saw coming, others not so much. I loved how Santi would burn down the world to find and keep Thalia but that Thalia is more than capable of lighting the flame herself, if needed. I want the two other stories teased in this book and I loved the mafia underworld created. There are so many players, so much deception and intrigue. The Carrera's and Santiago's are two of my favorite mafia families and I want all the stories. Cora Kenborn and Catherine Wiltcher both are great writers and make a fabulous writing team.

I received this audiobook for free from Pink Flamingo Productions and Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.
