Alfonzo I LOVE THIS MAN!
And Selange held it down in this one. I'm back to lovin her again.
WOW! WOW! & WOW!
All I can say is this book had me biting my nails the ENTIRE time. So much more heart break in this one. So much closure and openings for the next chapter in this Saga. I mean I have no idea how many times I was lookin like this while reading this one...
I can't wait for "AfterMath Volume VII" Thank goodness it's due out next month cos I'm going crazy to know what's going to happen next.
You are left with plenty of cliffhangers with this one.
I am grieving, excited, angry... UGH! This Saga. READ IT PEOPLE IN ORDER! You won't be sorry.
I'm off to finish the grieving process of this one.
Come on next month. Dang!

Okay I am still no fan of Selange and to be truthful both her and Alfonzo are beginning to tick me off with their back and forth back and forth.
I actually felt bad for Shandra when Aflonzo put a kink in her relationship with Geo. I think they would be the perfect fit for each other. However, her dad being a cop and Geo being a Don does not make for a good recipe. We will have to watch this storyline.
Apart from the leading couple there are lots of other interesting characters that I do like and love. Nico remains one of those. This book was full of action, twists and turns and a shock I never saw coming. I wonder when Geo and Alfonzo will be told the truth.
Well its on to book 7.

Story: GOOD
Intimacy: GOOD
Enjoyment: GOOD
I am in love with this series, and I have a huge but also about this installment. The first thing I will say, is tthe author staying true to the mob feel of the story. As I have mention before with each installment the story telling and the revolving door of characters give the story the spice, excitement and the entertainment it needs.
The series is about and started with Alfonzo and Selange, however, I have to admit that I wanted more of them because they are the core of this series for me. Since I've last read about them I still have a few things that I wanted to know. Nevertheless, we were given so much more in Annihilation. There was, kidnapping, more family issues, a bitter ex wife and ex mistress under one roof and so much more. For the readers who likes the spice and romance of this series, I will let you know, Annihilation was more action so be prepared for that. Action isn't a bad thing if you are a fan of this series but I'm a die hard romance junkie and want that as well. It was an at the edge of your seat excitement with a bit of new and familiar faces and I'm looking forward to more.

Can you have more drama in such a short read?!
This was sooooo good I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Ariana should've put up a fight with Selange though. The little she did didn't do much, they both needed to fight it out just like the guys. I really thought she'd stand by Nico but I guess I'll have to see that later. Aaron may be a problem if Nico doesn't step up or shut it down. I can't see them being safe now that Alberti has gone. Glad to hear Vincent didn't go without leaving someone to take the reins, hopefully someone else will step up as well. Geo is still a loose cannon and I can't see him making it the entire series with all the fast acting he's doing. I hope they all can make it even if that means going public with the information before more harm can come to them. Man this was good! The ending is having me on edge just waiting to see what's coming next.

I picked this book up and could not put it down , I loved the action in this book I felt like I was watching a movie, Selange and Ari did their thang . All the training Selange had helped her a lot I loved that part. I am worried about Nico I hope everything turns out good for him I guess we just have to wait and see. My girl Shanda is a mess I really hope she gets what she wants I would love to see that happen. Alfonzo is the best I just love him I know the next book is going to be so good a new Era is coming and I can't wait to read about it.

Alfonzo respected the man who fucked his wife? I've heard it all now.
December 3, 2012
I am so ADDICTED.......So loving each and every story....Selange surprises me more and more in each story but I must say she did her thang and held Alfonzo down each and every time in every way she could.....That's some REAL LOVE!!!!!

Selange and Ariana in Same Room. Oh Boy!
Just when I think she can't improve with this series she pulls a fast one and has me falling in love with these characters all over again. I can see why this series is never ended ending, it's like reading a tv show live and in living color. I am hooked and still want more. I can't get enough of the blued Puerto Rican Don.
Nico's son is kidnapped and the family comes together to save the boy. Man, the drama is nonstop as someone has broken the cardinal rule; don't mess with the kids they are off limit. They also had the bad luck of picking the enforcer of Giacanti clan, man and the bodies will fall.
Mistress and wife face off. What were their husbands, better yet ex husbands, Alfonzo and Nico thinking? Will it work out or will they kill each other? Continue with this series and find out how Selange and Ariana are truly the woMEN a force to be reckoned with.
As with all these books death is not far behind and we lose a valued person that leaves the family is mourning. Can't wait to see how they avenge his death in the next part Aftermath Alfonzo part 7 and yes I will be picking it up next.

All secrets are revealed
One can try to keep secrets as best one can, but there comes a time when what is hidden will be revealed in the light. This is what happened in this book. More than one family secret was revealed and what secrets they are. Darren and Aaron find out about their father, Nico finds out who his real father is, Sophie confides in Selange and tells her secret, the Giacanti survivors are revealed, and the story of Semira is revealed, to name a few.
There were several developing stories that I can see in future books. I see Geovanna having a fit over Shanda and I see Aaron developing into a future butcher. Arianna finally comes to the realization that she's not cut out to be a mafia wife and grows new respect for Selange after the attack on their compound.
This book was well written. It was full of drama, suspense, and mystery that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I can't wait to find out what happens with Shanda and Geo, and if or when Nico finds his soul mate like Alfonzo and Selange.

The action in this book was non stop. Selange shocked the hell out of me! We know from the previous books that she is down for Alfonzo until the end, but in this book she took it to the next level. Her and Ari working together to ward off the attack was pure poetry. The murder and mayhem was dripping from every single page of this book. Alfonzo, Nico and Giuseppe coming together to get Nico's kid back was a work of art. Then taking on the Russian was just crazy. The hangover at the end with Shanda I half way saw coming, but what is too come makes that cliff hanger even more better. I'm sure the next book will tidy all these storylines up just right.

This series is a fast paced, sexy, emotional thrill ride that is so fun it will keep you on your toes (and have YOU talking out loud – sometimes screaming at the characters and vowing to rain down fire and brimstone on the author). So many twists and turns. … Get it, read it! … I’m sure you will love it.
March 12, 2013
This book was all about the girl power! Selange rocked in this book. She proved why she is Alfonzo's woman! And the way she handled Ariana..Let's just say "that was a freebie, you won't get another shot". If you read the story, you will know why she said it. I think even Alfonzo knows he has a strong woman that can hold it down!

Well this book was action packed, with a lot of killing. I cried at the end I didn't want him to die but I knew it was coming eventually. I really Nico's son Aaron he is going to a be killer and he is funny. I also, like Geo/Shanda but I am sure that G girl will try and hurt her when she find out about her. I am excited for the next book.

Great romantic suspense series about a multiracial mob family. I read all 11 books over 4 days because I couldn't put the books down. Unlike a lot of serials most of the books here were between 300 and 600 pages though some were 200 pages long. I find #11 the weakest book of the group .

WOW!!!!
Is all I can say. This saga just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see if Geo is a daddy.....this series just keeps my mouth open from start to finish. Keep them coming. I'm new to them so I've got a lot of catching up to do

Eh, not gonna continue with the series... it didn't interest me anymore. Think it was a little boring & became somewhat ridiculous.
