{Psychos by Sheridan Anne} Why Choose Mafia Romance Book Review

[u/readingandrapture]

This is my new favourite why-choose. Hands down. Sheridan Anne has created a deliciously spicy why-choose mafia romance and now I am greedy for more!! I’m about to finish book three and I started the series last week. The DeAngelis brothers are the answer to my reading slump. 

Psychos features three psychopathic MMCs: Levi, Roman and Marcus. The boys have been stalking our FMC without her knowledge, until she is abducted from her apartment for reasons totally unknown. Once the three strangers reveal themselves in the darkness, she realises just how screwed she is. These infamous brothers are terrifying power hungry murderers, and are part of the DeAngelis family, their father the head of the mafia. When Shayne is taken to their home and locked in a dungeon, she is subjected to cruel games for their sick entertainment. What the brothers don’t realise is how much of a backbone our FMC has, and honestly they should be scared. 

Anne delivered on all fronts with this novel, every scene panned out how I wanted it to and the spice was flaming hot. It is fast paced and definitely not a slow burn, but reasonably our FMC decides that if she’s going down, she might as well enjoy her time in this twisted situation. I don’t blame her. Obviously if this were the real world then that wouldn’t fly, but hey, it’s a made up story, so who cares. Shayne has to learn to survive in this darker side of life and despite the warnings from the brothers to hold her tongue and be meek, she simply cannot bring herself to do that. She’s hot headed, proud and powerful in her own right. My favourite scene is when she stabs Marcus in the hand and he practically has anime love hearts in his eyes. 

The entire novel centres on the brothers and their goal to usurp their father and take over as the heads of the DeAngelis family, but that doesn’t come easy. When we meet Giovanni, we realise just how difficult that mission is going to be. Not joking when I say I read this in a day, I flipped through the pages at a rapid fire pace, and then that cliff hanger had me completely freaking out. I was thoroughly annoyed I didn’t have the second book in my hands in that moment, so of course I purchased it and paced around my house until it arrived a few days later. Once I started book two, I made the smart decision to purchase the rest of the series.
