Only one way to find out.

This book has a bit more depth to it than the first book. Whereas the first one showed the FMC (Scarlet) as nearly nothing but the guys' play thing, showing multiple scenes of her being used against her will, this one has the guys showing more of their character and their personalities.

We left off in the first book with Scarlet and the youngest brother, Julian, getting kidnapped by a rival family. Things seemed to change for all of them after that. The guys didn't use her as a simple "adult doll" anymore. They all seemed to realize she meant more to them than that. They all start showing sides of themselves that few others ever see and telling each other pieces of their pasts that few others know. Her month is going to come to an end in a couple of weeks, and she's starting to wonder if she'll be able to leave without looking back. In the end, Scarlet learns of something one of the guys did, and we're left on a cliffhanger on what she's going to do about it.

While there may not be any non-con scenes in this book (perhaps a dub-con scene or two), it's still a dark-ish novel. Be sure to watch the trigger warnings! I can't give partial ratings on Goodreads, but I'd give this book about a 4.5.

As the story goes on we see a whole new part of the brothers. I have literally fell in love with them. Scar has been through so much and has put up with so much with the brothers but her fire for life has never burnt out. In the second book you learn more about Scar and her life. The ending to this was just wow. It was not a "didn't see that coming" because you could definitely see it coming but left it off with me wanting to know more. The third book here I come.

Psycho Saviors is the second book in the Psycho Mafia Series. It is a fast paced, action packed, dark, why choose, mafia romance that does end in a cliffhanger.

Oh I had to bring up Kenny and his cute little self.

I am so here for these psycho men slowly falling for Scarlet! Seeing the subtle — and not so subtle — changes in how they treat her was so fun. I definitely had a few laughs over the situations they put her in, if you know what I mean. Super hot but I couldn’t help a few chuckles. Also that poor waiter and driver 😅

The writing, plot, pace, and flow of the story are wonderfully done, as are the characters, character development, relationship development, storytelling, storyline, and world building. This is such an awesome book and I will be excitedly awaiting the next one

If you thought the first book in the Psycho Mafia series was a thrilling descent into a dangerous, seductive world of mafia romance, then brace yourself – Book 2 is an all-consuming addiction you won’t be able to put down. From the very first page, this book plunges even deeper into the twisted yet captivating dynamics of our broken, cruel leading men, and I am here for it.

Julian and Tyrone are still as gruff and brooding as ever, but their tough exteriors are slowly cracking under the force of Scarlet's fiery presence. They can't resist her forever, and you’ll find yourself desperately turning pages to see when (and how) they finally give in. But then... there's Cristian. Oh, Cristian. He’s delightfully insane, his red flags impossible to ignore, yet he’s somehow even more lovable because of them. You can't help but wonder: Christian?! Why? But then, you remember why – and yet, you're still caught up in his chaotic allure.

As a dark romance fan, I am all in for the madness, but I can't ignore the conflict. As a feminist, I want to punch him in the face for all his red flags – and yet, I find myself rooting for him with every chapter. What does that say about me? It’s complicated, and I love it.

The writing is just as intense as ever, and Scarlet is more than capable of holding her own in this twisted world. The tension is palpable, and every moment feels like an explosion waiting to happen. I can’t wait to see how she navigates the growing entanglements with these men—and of course, I’m dying to see more interaction with Kenny. Can’t get enough of him!

If you're looking for a series that will keep you on the edge of your seat, leave you breathless, and make you question your own moral compass (in the best possible way), then the Psycho Mafia series is everything. I can’t wait to dive into the next installment.

If book 1 was an intense and riveting read that plunges you deep into the dangerous and seductive world of mafia romance with added depravity and Broken cruel leading Men then Book 2 has become an addiction which i read in one sitting!

Soooo loving the payback to the abductors and loving how Scarlett starts to grow - Sausage sandwich anyone?? Once you have read the book you will understand that last comment lol.

Scarlett is almost being rebuilt through the guys need to protect her. The enemies-to-lovers dynamic is done well but i still feel that she would have more trauma from the abuse that she was subjected to in book 1 and that is the only neggative thati have.

The chemistry is absolutely amazing between the characters and i love seeing things develop and grow as the guys all give in to their emerging feelings. The pacing is spot-on, with just the right blend of action and romantic development although in this book its more about the character dynamics and rather than being plot driven and the intruige is missing a bit plus you can guess where things are heading fairly easily. That said it was still a thourally enjoyable read.

If you're a fan of dark romance with a twist, Psycho Saviours is a must-read as teh author has crafted a thrilling and passionate tale that will keep you hooked from the first page to the last, eagerly anticipating each twist and turn.

Oooo this was such a great second installment. I just *knew* Cristian would go insane to get them back. I wish he could have used the tank, though hahahaha

I am so here for these psycho men slowly falling for Scarlet! Seeing the subtle — and not so subtle — changes in how they treat her was so fun. I definitely had a few laughs over the situations they put her in, if you know what I mean. Super hot but I couldn’t help a few chuckles. Also that poor waiter and driver 😅

Sorry boys, but Kenny stole the show once again. I can’t help but keep him on the top of my favorite characters list. I almost wish this was a paranormal book so he could talk! I’d die to hear his thoughts. I’m also with Scarlet in her decision to potentially forfeit her life for Kenny. He deserves it.

Oh, Cristian. What are we going to do with you? As an avid dark romance reader, I freaking love the situation. As a feminist, I want to punch him right in the face.

I’m so loving these books! I cannot wait for the next one to see how Scarlet and the guys handle everything! Also for more of Kenny.

5/5 stars and 3/5 spice. Less spicy than the first one, in my opinion, but it’s fitting with the story, I think!

I did get to ARC read this one, and this is my honest review!

Psycho Saviors is the second book in the Psycho Mafia Series. It is a fast paced, action packed, dark, why choose, mafia romance that does end in a cliffhanger.

I am loving this series. I am literally addicted to these characters and storyline. I did not want it to end. I especially loved all the action and intrigue, as well as the character and relationship development that occurs in this book. I also, of course, love all the characters, Scarlet, Julian, Tyrone, and even Christian, who seems to love making things difficult for their relationships.

The writing, plot, pace, and flow of the story are wonderfully done, as are the characters, character development, relationship development, storytelling, storyline, and world building. This is such an awesome book and I will be excitedly awaiting the next one.

Okay, so after reading the first one I had to jump straight into book #2. It was good—intense, well written, and super intriguing. I liked how we got a more in-depth background on everyone. We finally got some explanation about Tessa, and a lot of the questions from book one were answered.

Now it’s gradually moving toward all of them wanting her as their girl and sharing her… not a fan of that. But her background, who she is, what she’s done, and what she’s capable of really does match the mafia brothers in a way, which is interesting.

I’m definitely starting the third book to see if she’s going to leave after her one-month sentence or if she’s going to stay. And honestly—IS SHE POSSIBLY PREGNANT?! Because Cristian took out her IUD without her knowing, so she might actually be pregnant!!!

Psycho Saviors by J.E. Cluney
5 stars 💯🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Second book for this series and it picks up from Psycho Sinner.
Let me tell you there is no doubt about this book being well written and the time and talent that this author has put into the characters and their possessive that they have for Scarlet. Their emotional feeling are evolving as they spend more time with each other.
It still ongoing mafia dealing and repercussions, more danger to come and most importantly what will Scarlet do after Christian betrayal.
This story has so much Heat and a cliffhanger. I just want more of these characters. They are passionate. So you know we have to wait to see what will happen next!

This book is just as much of a twist. Please make sure to check trigger warnings as this is a dark book with dark topics. This book does end on cliffhanger, which is in the middle of a screen and conversation. This book picks up right where book one ends, which I love. This continues to be a mafia RH in which all the brothers start to have a more active role in the spice area. The FMC finds herself even more confused about what she feels and wants. The relationship between them all starts to change. It seems to be leading into a more permanent way. But then the crazy MMC does the unthinkable and the others find out. Once the FMC gets told, she losses it. The spice heats up in the book and isn’t as dark at all times.

Overall, I give this 4 hearts, 4 peppers, and 4 black hearts.

Did not disappoint

Wow, take me down a dark alley and tell me to read this book. So good.

Dark, dangerous, and mesmerizing....this book got it all. Sexy smoldering what with that darkness that people like me salivate over.

Scarlet is a firecracker who has power that she doesn't even realize. As you read through book two you desire that she will take what she wants and get everything she deserves.

The men are ruthless dark and so dang hot. Each one has their quirks and holy hell I want them to devour me while reading this book.

Again like book one this is not for the weak, this book is dark and twisted. But oh so worth it. Page turner is an A plus! Bring on book three!

I absolutely loved the second book in this series. It starts right where book 1 left off, and the action does not stop. You are in for a wild ride with this one! Scarlet is just as amazing as ever, and her connections with our MMCs continue to grow. Julian and Tyrone are still grumbly for sure, but they can’t hide from our girl forever 😉 and Cristian… I love Cristian. He’s so adorably insane and his red flag ways just make me love him even more. And no one can forget about Kenny! He’s just as cute and cuddly as before!! Even more so! I love a little kitty sidekick! I have no idea how I’m going to be able to wait for the next book!

Perfect way to start the 2nd book. Not like I didn't expect some major retaliation after what happened at the end of book 1, but this was crazy good. I love that we get to know each character more in depth in this book and it really helps you to understand why they are the way they are. They are all starting to realize that feelings are developing whether they want them to or not. Unfortunately as a lot of things do, everything is going great till it's not. Christian made a huge mistake and now I have no idea how this is going to work out. Once again, cliffhanger... not so patiently waiting for the 3rd book now. Lol

For the whole series:

Psycho Mafia Series by JE Cluney – ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not usually my thing when it comes to why choose? romances, but with three short, fast-paced novellas and a dark mafia twist, I decided to give it a shot. And wow—this series pulls no punches. It’s brutal, raw, and unflinching in its exploration of trauma (definitely check your trigger warnings), yet somehow, it keeps you hooked. Gritty and intense, it doesn’t shy away from the darker side of love and survival. As for the HEA? A MMMF “family” might stretch believability, but in the world Cluney builds, I was willing to roll with it. Overall, a gripping read that delivers on dark romance expectations.

I absolutely devoured this book. Loved it.
We get loads more character and relationship development in this book. Some of the backstories were really tough to read but they opened up these characters and made them bleed before our eyes.
Watching the guys discover their feelings for Scarlet was beautiful and seeing Scarlet realise that there was more to them than just using her as a toy was incredibly satisfying.
There’s still tons of spice, a fair amount of bloodshed and public but controlled exhibitionism.
Also Kenny remained totally unharmed!

Scarlet's story continues...
Book 2 grabs your attention right away, picking up from the first.
I didn't want to stop ready till the end.
There was no shortage of action, drama, and spice. There was also a few humorous moments for me too.

I'm liking Scarlet even more in this book.
We're also starting to see the relationships between Scarlett and the men change and some deepen. We learn a little more about each of our main characters as well.

I think this was a great addition to the series. I can't wait to see where things go from here.

In the previous book Psycho Sinners, we met Scarlett and the three Silvestri brothers, Christian, Julian and Tyrone. These mafia brothers claimed her. As the story progressed, we saw the deeper character traits of the three men, and Scarlett as well. Scarlett has to find a way to survive these three or find a way to get them to do what she wants. It was a good continuation from where book 1 left off. This is a dark romance so heed the trigger warnings. I received an ARC copy from the author and this is my honest review.

Psycho Saviors - book 2 in The Psycho Mafia series and it kicked off right where the first book ended with Scarlet & Tyrone being kidnapped. I loved that it gave us the opportunity to find out more about Scarlet & Tyrone's backstory which made for some truly heartbreakingly sad stories. The dynamic between Scarlet and the guys - Cristian, Julian and Tyrone changed as this book progressed. Which I kinda liked. Still a steamy read with plenty of bloody action. This series just keeps getting better and I'm looking forward to the next book now.

Psycho saviors Was a really enjoyable story, and I felt like there was more depth to the characters and that we got to understand why they were the way they were. There is trigger warnings and scarlett definitely has a lot to face at the beginning But with the help of Tyrone, Cristian and Julian Scarlet start to see them in a whole new light but just when she thinks maybe she could trust them there's a whole new bomb shell thrown into the mix that will totally deside if she'll stay or leave. And i'm desperate to know what will happen next in Psycho saints.

What a read. This book will grab you and keep you reading until the last page. There will be no putting it down until the last page is read and then you are needing more. It moves along at a pace that is perfect for the flow of this story, making for an easy and enjoyable read. You will love these characters, no matter what happens, you cannot help it. This book is a must read and it needs to be on your TBR list, you will not be sorry that you did.

OMG , WTF. That ending I need the next book. This book picked up right where the last book ended. Once again I loved Scarlet and I loved that we got so much of the guys backstories and why they are the way they are. That ending had my jaw hitting the floor and desperately needing the next book. If you love your why choose romance d@rk with guy's that will do @nything @nd £v£rything they w@nt without hesitation then you need to read this book / series.

Book 2 in the Psycho Mafia series starts off exactly where we were left at the end of book 1! Book 2 was definitely more plot based but the spice is definitely there and the spice has become more natural because IYKYK! I love how Scarlett questions everything especially how her feelings are changing towards the brothers. I also loved how we got to see glimpses of their past and it explained a lot. Really looking forward to see what happens next especially with how the book ended!

Poor Scarlett, just when she’s getting a little reprieve from being locked up with the brothers over a little dessert, she’s taken by a rival mafia gang. But this wouldn’t be a dark romance without possessive alpha men who happily eliminate anyone who mess with their “pet.” Connections deepen and lines blur in this second installment. Get ready for some panty melting hotness but also read the triggers. Can’t wait to read the conclusion to this spicy dark delight!

This book ended exactly how I thought it was going to and I was not disappointed. I’m a little excited… I’m a lot excited to see how book 3 shakes out, but I am not sad over the sleep I lost over binging this book. The author did an absolutely fantastic job with the tension, the drama, the action, the spice even though it gets a little blurry with the consent line… I am here for it and I cannot wait for more. I love when alphahole psychos fall in love. 🥰

Ok this book was like a weird gray area. It is very repetitive. Everyone’s feelings are shifting and they go back in forth from denying it to accepting it. At the end of the day they all like her, but how do they overlook what happened in the first book? Like they just joke about it a few times. I really don’t know how they will recover from that cliffhanger. Christian messed up and I think I get why but like…why?!

I'm liking the way Scarlett's story is progressing. She and the men are starting to understand each other. We're learning secrets from each brother as well as Scarlett. There's some action and lots of steamy times. The storyline is shaping up nicely and I'm curious to see where it goes. Overall a good read.

2nd book in this new series. I really enjoyed the continuation from the first book. 2nd books picks up right after the first one ended. Strong storyline, not many twists in this one except the ending. Loved the ending. Loved the development of the characters and their relationship. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

This is the series that keeps on giving. We start right where the last one ended and it ended on a doozy.

There is a shift in how the men look at Scarlet and she isn’t sure how to handle the changes.

They all share a darkness .. and this is dark.

Scarlet is strong .. I can’t wait to see how she handles what Cristian did.

Was up late and up early wanting to finish this book.
It's the 2nd book in the series and unlike some books, this is just a great as the 1st. It doesn't lack on action and for me, kept me reading. As relationships grow so do feelings. I'm eager for the 3rd book to arrive as I'm missing all the red flags.....it's a circus right?
