Born Mobster by Paige Dearth
5.0
I have to admit that I almost decided against this book because of the cover. Honestly, it kind of creeps me out. Maybe it's the dead eyes or something. I don't know. Anyway, I pushed past the creepy cover and gave Born Mobster a chance since it sounded like something I'd enjoy.
Before I go any further, I want to throw out a warning. This book has some pretty disturbing elements. It was definitely more raw than I was prepared for. Abuse, both physical and sexual, play a strong role throughout the book. While it was hard to read at times, it felt necessary to tell Tony's story.
That being said, I really loved this book. While I might have questioned whether some parts were a bit too over the top, nothing was so unbelievable that the story was ruined for me. It was a strong, powerful story that will stick with me.
Don't let the creepy cover throw you off. This is an outstanding book with quality writing that keeps you turning the page until the very end.
