4.5 Marauding stars!!!!!

I can honestly say Bella Di Corte has become one of my top favorite authors!! Machiavellian was the first book I read from her and it was like I was living in the shadows of all the crap mafia books that have been coming out lately and then suddenly a light was shining on me lol I absolutely love Machiavellian..such a breath of fresh air without all the OTT nonsense authors have been writing. Cash Kelly was introduced briefly but he made enough of an impact that had me salivating for his story.

What can I say about Marauder...I can say that I fkn loved this book!! Cash Kelly more than lived up to the hype. He was a man on a mission to right all the wrongs and keep his father’s legacy alive and in that process he had to destroy the one man...Scott Stone... he felt was the reason for his fathers death. In comes Keely Ryan...fiery red head that will shoot you in the heart with her arrow...literally. She was Scott’s girlfriend and Cash figured if you steal what a man loves the most you will destroy him forever and in this case it was Keely.

I will say it again and again..I loved this book!! Cash Kelly was the perfect Irish gangster and Keely Ryan was the heroine that all writers should strive to write about.

The only reason why I didn’t give it a full 5 stars was because the whole Scott Stone situation wasn’t fleshed out enough in my opinion. Essentially the girl he loved was taken away by the one man that represented everything Scott hated and he just was like fuck it..I’m disgusted go be with him. I wanted to see what losing Keely did to him emotionally...wasn’t that the point of the story to begin with?? But with that being said the rest of the book was more than good enough to overlook it because Scott’s character was dull and boring lol!!

Marauder can be read as a stand alone but I think to get the full affect of this world Bella has created I would suggest reading Machiavellian first.
