Rating: ★★★★☆
Maddox – Mad Dog – White hates everything the name Vitiello stands for, after he witnessed his father and his men getting butchered by the Capo of the Italian mob in their territory. Raised by his uncle, the president of the Tartarus MC, Maddox is destined to follow in his footsteps. Now their chapter is on the rise again, but for their ultimate triumph they need to destroy the Vitiello empire. And what better way to do it than to steal the spoilt Vitiello princess and break her piece by piece until her father begs for mercy.
Known as the spoilt princess of New York, Marcella Vitiello grew up in a golden cage. If your father is the most feared man in New York, people gift you with reverence.
Destined to marry the boyfriend approved by her father, Marcella is sick of being treated like an untouchable porcelain doll.
She resents the life forced upon her by her family until everything she took for granted is ripped from her. Where she’s now, her name doesn’t bring awe, only pain and humiliation.
If you’ve grown up in a high castle, the fall is all the deeper.
Sins of the fathers have a way of catching up…who’s going to bleed for them?
My Thoughts...

Plus I can't believe i've read my most anticipated book since the author announced this series.
The essence of this series is basically the kids paying for the sins of their father (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles & The Camorra Chronicles) . And it starts with Marcella, Luka's daughter, paying a hefty price for his sins.
Marcella and Maddox are so fine together. They complement each other so perfectly, truly opposites attract. But in that, they did share some similarities as well.
I love how Marcella is shown as this superficial girl who cares about her looks. But underneath, she is so strong and fierce, truly her fathers daughter. Her strength is truly shown throughout her kidnapping and more so after.
Maddox is a man hellbent on revenge because Marcella's father killed Maddox's father many years ago. It's years later, and Maddox and the MC cultivate a plan to kidnap the Mafia boss's daughter. But with all good forbidden romances, Maddox starts to feel things for Marcella.
There were some elements and scenes in this book that I wasn't a fan of, hence the missing one star.
However, this story is truly so intense and thrilling, a page turner that will captivate you.
Honestly, I am so intrigued to see what part II brings, especially after the ending of this book.
Very curious.
