The Rosetti Family: Chicago #2
Psychotic Faith
He speaks in Polaroids and violence. She collects his surveillance photos like love letters.
Chicago's most dangerous psychopath doesn't sleep—he watches. Luca Rosetti has turned insomnia into an art form, spending endless nights surveilling the one woman who makes him feel human. Faith Winters doesn't know her guardian devil exists. Not yet.
By day, Faith teaches Sunday school and reads to children at the library. By night, she's spent twelve years building a case against the man who murdered her mother. She's patient, methodical, perfect in her innocent disguise. Then her stalker introduces himself by leaving evidence of his obsession on her a Polaroid of herself, taken while she dreamed. On the back, one Protected.
She doesn't run—she leaves him a message of her own. Because beneath the cardigans and church smiles, she wants the same thing he blood, justice, and someone who understands that good girls can dream of violence too.
He's already killed nine men in her name. She's about to give him a tenth.
He kills for her. She lies for him. And somewhere between Polaroids and murder, they stop pretending either of them was ever good.
A dark mafia romance featuring surveillance as seduction, morally gray characters, and the kind of obsession that requires cleanup crews. Dual POV. Complete standalone with HEA.
Stalker romance • Psychotic hero • Good girl gone bad • Revenge plot • Instant obsession • Morally gray FMC • Touch her and die • He falls first

There is no way this book has been edited. Tons of inconsistencies in little details that made me have to go back and re read, timelines that don’t make any sense, spelling and name errors ?? This book had so much potential the story is there but it is written so badly I stopped at 30% because it was giving me a headache. Super disappointing that an author would release this kind of work.

The story had a potential but that’s about it🤣
Has anyone actually read this book before it was released? It genuinely doesn’t seem like it was edited. There are so many mistakes and inconsistencies. Sometimes the next sentence jumps to a completely different place, or it’s so disconnected from the previous paragraph that I had to stop and reread to make sure I hadn’t missed something — but I hadn’t.
A few of the errors I remember:
• The first Polaroid picture that Luca leaves for Faith is described in his POV as a photo of her at her mother’s grave, but when Faith finds the picture, it has suddenly become a photo of her in a restaurant.
• There’s a spicy scene where, after round one, they’re sitting next to each other on the sofa, and in the very next sentence he’s… pulling out of her.
• There’s a chapter written from Luca’s POV but titled as Faith’s.
• And many, many more. It’s honestly painful to read.
And last but not least: the word violence appears 80 times in this book — often in sentences you would never expect. Eighty times. Some of my favorites:
• “The comfortable violence of their banter (…)”
• “I taste whiskey and violence on his lips.”
• “I’m written in violence now (…)”
• “The afterburn of violence”
• “… skin that still remembers gentler violence”
The time frame often didn’t add up and it was more obvious because the author was trying to portray the characters as obsessively counting time(With Luca even to second).
For example there was one night when they ended up in her house around 9PM, had sex like 6 times he admitted that he slept 4 hours then was watching her sleep for 2 and by 8AM they were at cars dealership when he mentioned that last night he spend 6 hours researching cars for her, so how long was that night 20h?🤣🤣🤣
To summarise: very badly written and not edited, don’t waste your time.

3,5 ✨
I looooooved Luca. He was so unhinged in his obsession with Faith. To the point where it was kinda pathetic, which I of course thought was beyond entertaining.
There’s really no better male love interest than a pathetically obsessed one.
As for Faith…. Her I had mixed feelings about.
I struggled to not find her annoying at times were her behavior seemed incredibly hypocritical…
I think I also just compared her a lot to Ana from the first book and she never quite measure up in any aspect in my opinion.
Side note…
There were some writing mistakes in here.
Some parts that seemed out of place, as if the author tried to write something but then wrote it differently but forgot to delete the first try and at one point there was the wrong name at the start of one of the chapters.

Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Sometimes scary things can protect us too," I hear myself say. "Sometimes they're exactly what keeps us safe."
Faith Winters is just your average young woman. Beautiful, smart, dedicated.
Luca Rosetti is the lethal brother of the Rosetti family. Calculated. Precise. Focused.
Faith teaches Sunday school at her church, and she volunteers at the local library, reading to children every day. She has a standing dinner date with her father, the local judge investigating the Rosetti family, never misses Sunday breakfast with her father, and shares the same hurt of missing her mother. Little does her father know, she has a dark secret that would shock him to his core.
Luca, the Rosetti Psycho, is very meticulous with his killings. He is the blade his family uses when complications need to be removed. Clean, no trace. Marco, the older brother and Don of the family, has requested that Luca handle Judge Winters and his investigation into their family. Little did Luca know that his calculations would not only come into play but also turn his sleepless nights into an obsession.
Book two of the Rosetti Family: Chicago follows the story of Luca and Faith. Will the meticulous Luca upset the balance with Faith and her 12-year obsession with doing what is right in the name of her mother, or will his possession be the end of both of them?
**Possible Spoilers**
I knew I was going to develop a very disturbing attachment to Luca when he was in Book 1. I clearly have a type that has a chokehold on me like no other! I know this is seriously unhinged thinking, but if I knew someone was obsessed with me, protectively, I might just have to say, I'm in!
Luca has the entire city of Chicago wired to follow, no STALK, Faith everywhere she goes. I mean, he knows how she takes her coffee!! Black with one sugar!! When he starts leaving Polaroids on her pillow, most would change locks, call the cops, or even move! Not our little Faith, she feels comforted by the shadowy omission. When Luca and Faith start exchanging messages, I was like, This is so beautiful! I know!! Unhinged🫢 I really enjoyed this one, and I cannot wait to dive into the next in this series!
Happy reading💜

Great idea but sooooo repetitive…
So I really liked this book, the absolute bat-shit craziness of it and the MCs.
The theme of justice only being available to those who can take it themselves, because wealth and influence is above the law, also resonated.
The writing however, was incredibly repetitive. Chunks of text saying exactly the same thing were repeated ad nauseam. I found myself skimming huge passages and changing words in my head. A particular peev was the reposition of “ his wrong smile”, which feels cheap, when there are so many descriptions for the viciousness he exudes.
I still enjoyed it and finished both books so far.

Couldn’t put it down!
I was hooked from the very beginning! When someone matches your darkness you hold on with both hands. They match. They go together. This book is littered with triggers so check yours at the start for sure! But if you like them morally black where their only salvation is the woman that twists them up inside and they’re literally going to break the walls to get to her… then this is the one for you. Enjoy!

I wanted so badly to love this. It has so much potential and the author is genuinely a beautiful writer, but the mistakes! The inconsistencies! The errors! The switch ups! Nothing made sense!
It was so disjointed. Pia, my friend, do you have an editor? Do you read your own books before you send it to whoever published? Nothing in this story made even one lick of sense because of how many errors there were. I’m very disappointed.

I quite liked the first book and I love me a psychopath so I was very drawn to the MMC and excited that his book was next, however what the holy hell was this book?! very disappointed, spelling and grammar mistakes, parts of the book didn't make sense where it has clearly been edited and then forgotten about further on, and the ending just pissed me off to be honest. worst book I've read in 2025.

OTT Obsession
Another dark obsession MMC mafia book. This has a high body count so be prepared for that. I loved watching Luca realize his obsession wasn’t going away and that he was in love. Big fan of the “mafia monster” + “good girl with hidden secrets” thing and this was that trope dialed all the way to 10.

Loved it!
This was definitely worth the wait! I was super excited when Luca was introduced in Dante's book. As soon as that crazy psycho walked into the room I knew his love story was gonna deliver, and boy oh boy, did it deliver! I loved every step of Luca and Faith's journey, and the spontaneous unexpected bits melded into the story perfectly.

Yup. Just as expected…Luca is my favorite brother. 😇 So glad I didn’t listen to myself and actually read this one. It was better than the first one. But ONLY because of Lucas character. This book too was very fast paced but I enjoyed it.
December 9, 2025
Honestly, I gave this an extra star because Luca buys Faith my car.
Still some really SERIOUS continuity errors, but I was able to over look most of them this time. and the story is quite compelling.
I like the angle and the arc of the characters.
Is English this authors first language? Cause some things are wicked repetitive.

Yes? No? Both?
This is much better than Book 1.
Dark, Gothic nightmare; creepy and weird as f***
Also, as romantic and endearing in the oddest, strangest way - it’s about love, the most unusual kind, but love nevertheless.
It’s about protecting those you love no matter how you do it, and recognising the flaws, the deviancy, and the darkest parts of those we love.
I struggled to hate Luca; I couldn’t. While he is obsessed with Faith, she is his nemesis. Through the violence, death, & destruction, they not only fall in love & break through the walls of childhood trauma, but also find new aspects of their personalities, both light & dark.
Still too much navel gazing but a story to test your moral compass!
Next one should be interesting.

Holy or should I say Oh for all that’s unholy
This was the best written psycho love affair ever. Makes us serious morally defective people tingle all over. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Todo lo que esperaba de Luca definitivamente, lo único que realmente me parece fastidioso es la lucha moral de las protagonistas, el saber que son malas y les gusta lo malo pero igual quieren hacerse las santas se me hace bastante fastidioso pero bueno igual Faith se me hizo tremedo personaje
October 30, 2025
I absolutely love this series and since I love psychos Luca is a great character. I am very happy that Faith was not some little mouse of a character. Can’t wait for more!

good read
Started out slow but after a few chapters it was a really good read. Off to the next book in series.

It's a simple fact that the crazy, psychotic brother always has the best book in the series.

Luca’yı çok sevsemde FMC beni çıldırttı maalesef. Aslında kitap çok güzel başlamıştı ama sonradan saçmaladı ve hoşuma gitmemeye başladı :(

"I'd rather she hate me and live than love me and die."
My Glock sits on her nightstand next to her reading glasses. Violence and innocence side by side.

I don't support her leaving her father. I believe that they could have worked it out. I liked that Luca showed emotion and vulnerability. Overall, it was ok
January 6, 2026
Love a deranged man.
January 23, 2026
Loved the story but the lack of editing really detracted from the experience.
February 7, 2026
Luca and Faith were well matched, plenty of emotion, and a good plot, engaging.
January 28, 2026
I think the author has talent and a good vision of the world and characters, but this book felt very choppy and repetitive. If she had an editor that challenged her a little more (or willing to listen to the feedback) then it could have been much better. There were just too many timeline inconsistencies and things that totally didn’t make sense. (Like the same character entering a room for the first time twice, mislabeling a chapter by the POV, better ways to phrase things, etc)
My TBR is too long so I do not plan on reading more at this time from this author.
