I thought I had it figured out from the beginning. It was a Romeo and Juliet story, but then it had several twists I wasn't expecting.
Leighton Moore and Devon Andre belong to the two biggest crime families in Boston, and their families are each other's oldest rivals and enemies.
Like I said, I thought that I had it figured out what the story was all about, but the authors really kept it interesting. I thought something would go one way, but it didn't. I thought someone was of a certain position and would find they leaned toward another. There wasn't any down time. Fast paced was the theme of the day, on the day that I read this. It contains a hot mob prince with a tortured soul, a bad ass dead aim mob princess, a plethora of sketchy characters, a high degree of sexiness and a hint of humorous undertone, along with murder and a sweet romantic push in a playground swing.
It grabbed me from the beginning and wouldn't let go.

DNF 62%
This makes me sad because I was eagerly looking forward to this. There were too many things that felt forced, were utterly bothersome, or that didn't work for me. You may very well love it. I struggled with it until I realized how uninterested I was to follow the characters through. It's a great premise but dnf.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
There are no innocents in our world. We are born tainted.
From the very first word, the very first page, I was drawn into this mindfuckery of a story. I stumbled upon the blurb a few months ago on Goodreads, and have been anticipating it ever since. There is ALWAYS a story behind the story, and I couldn’t wait to find out what Vendetta’s was.
I want that more than anything, but sometimes we don’t get what we want.
I should know. I’ve wanted him all my life, and he was someone else’s.
Vendetta definitely kept my blood pumping, keeping me alive from fear, anticipation, and dread. Would they, won’t they, what in the HELL was really going on? This book centers around two principal families; the Andre’s and the Moore’s. What you will find out quickly on, is they are both the largest mob families in Boston. They rule the city with an iron fist and have been bitter enemies for years. Devon Andre lost his family in a brutal manner at a young age, and has since been raised in the family business by his Uncle Frank. Devon has always believed that the Moore’s were behind the death of his father, mother, and younger brother, and on the night our story begins, he finally receives proof. Low and behold, Leighton Moore is caught in the crossfire of this discovery, and Devon takes here. Then our rollercoaster begins.
“You are smart and beautiful and strong, and the most amazing woman I have ever met, and I fucking hate you for it because it still doesn’t chance who you are. I wanted you ever since I knew how to want a woman. You are the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.”
I wasn’t sure WHAT the story was between Devon and Leighton, I just knew there WAS one. Their chemistry jumped off the page, begging for release. Having the advantage of being a dual POV book, we were able to experience the internal struggle each character went through. Devon wanted revenge, anyway he has to get it. That was his first, middle, and end goal, and should anything get in his way, they’d be damned, Leighton included.
He lifts his head from the hollow of my beck, searching my eyes with his as we both reach that climax, our breaths mingling, our bodies speaking without words.
I felt as if the end came too quickly and I would have loved a teensie bit more. I know beauty is in the unknown, but I grew to love these characters hardcore. That is the true sign of a good book though, isn’t it? Leaves you wanting more. So for that, I say BRAVO! Sometimes when you feel as if you have all the information, life spins you on your head, sending you on one hell of a trip. Is the power of love stronger than the need for hate?
I’ve hated her far longer than I’ve loved her. I’ve hated myself for wanting her, then I’ve hated us both for loving her. It seems everything about her is just…hate.… (meer)
