Sins of the Fathers, Book 5

De: Cora Reilly

Narrado por: JF Harding, Angelina Rocca, Jacob Morgan, Tor Thom, Lucy Rivers

Aurora Scuderi spent her childhood and teenage days doing one thing-- loving Nevio. Until one fateful moment, he breaks her heart without a second thought. Leaving Aurora with her broken heart bleeding in her hands. Fleeing Las Vegas is the only way for Aurora to heal - forget Nevio and that night. But a man like Nevio can’t be shaken off that easily. The hunter in him was awakened.

Nevio Falcone is darkness. It seeps from his pores. It’s where his monster comes out to play to satisfy its cravings. Until he starts to crave something other than carnage: the one woman he shouldn’t pursue - Aurora.

What Nevio craves, he ruins. He told her to keep her distance. Now it’s too late to run away. Consequences be damned.

Love the entire world Corra Reilly has built love the continuation of the stories

No epilogue which was disappointing I always love a last look especially in stories I love

the character's

absolutely loved their story. not as much as amo and gretas I will admit but their story is one of my top favorites. aurora's devotions to B and nevios to aurora when he left. (although he should have at least told her he was leaving) overall love the story

Fantastic Narration

Let me start off by saying this cast of narrators were fantastic. They all did a great job bringing the characters to life. I absolutely loved the passion and commitment they had to keep the characters true to the story. I knew going into this book that a lot of people have been putting it and Cora down because they didn't like where the story went. I never let that effect my experience. I love all of Cora's books. Was it the best no, I am not saying that. Was it the worst of course not. I have read some pretty crappy books and this doesn't even qualify as a crappy book. Did I hope for more for Nevio maybe just a little but come on he is a Falcone. You cannot expect him to be like his father. Did he have a bad childhood with lots of trauma no but he grew up in a violent world and no one ever tried to curb his violence and he probably didn't get the same discipline or life lessons as the older generation. We can see that in our own children today. They are desensitized to the world around them and to not see those character traits in the next generation of the Falcones is absurd. The hate Nevio got for being a shit father was overly exaggerated. Could he have done better and stepped up more yes I agree; however, if someone dropped a baby off out of nowhere you wouldn't be a great parent from the jump either. That's not to say he couldn't have tried more but if he was perfect from the word go it would be unbelievable at best. Love and a bond takes time for men. They don't carry the baby and if they haven't even known there was a possibility of a baby that's a hard pill to swallow. Nevio was very unfair to Auruoa. He didn't give her the time of day until he made a big mistake and it forced him to see her in a way he never truly thought about. She did deserve more from him and over time she got more from him. I think she was a strong fmc because she took to being a mom even when she didn't have too. It takes a strong woman to love someone unconditionally in the situation she was put in. My only want from this book was more. I wanted to see more of their growth. We know Nevio finally started to get his crap together but I wanted more of that. I want to know that they are going to grow and build their family. I want to know where they are heading in life. I just want more.

I thought it'd be a duet with 4 narrators its not

So I've read most of Cora Reilly's work but I've only listened to a couple because they're all dual narration but I will say this is my 2nd fav audio of her works. So I'm a sucker for JF Harding and when I saw 4 narrators I really thought maybe they'd branch out to duets nope. This is Nevio's story and if you’ve read the Camorra chronicles this is Remo & Fina's son who ends up pursuing Fabiano's daughter. Angelina Rocca was ok even trying to voice Nevio (most F narrators annoy me) JF Harding was the sell for me. There are 2 brief parts Tor Thom & Lucy Rivers which aggravated me they're terrible narrators & there's 1 POV chapter that Fabiano (Jacob Morgan) that's probably my fav had me laughing. But this story was one of the better ones the FMC wasn't totally stupid or annoying my fav Cora Reilly is still bound to the past that's mostly Dante's POV by Conner Crais
Plot 4/5 Spice 3/5 Performances: JF Harding 9/10 Angelina Rocca 6/10 Tor Thom 1/10 Lucy Rivers 1/10 Jacob Morgan 9/10
Overall Book Score 6.5/10

Surprised

What a trick to be able to make such an unredeemable man redeemed. Every book in this series is very worth listening to.

What I liked/disliked about By Frenzy I Ruin.

I loved Aurora and her personality and how caring she was, how she took in Benita even though he wasn't her's, I didn't like that Nevio didn't own up to being a Dad and left her hanging but thankful that he did leave for the right reasons and came back and wanted to start a life with her. To tattoo her and Benita on him while he was away was so romantic. I also did like that he kept telling her to stay away from him and she just didn't listen.

I love you Cora Reilly!

Your mind is an amazing place! Your ability to create an entire world that is fascinating and full and never boring for a second never ceases to amaze me! I'm already looking forward to your next creation!
