Hell Will Rise is Book 1 of the Bloodthirst Mafia Series written
by Skyla Murphy.
It is not something he wants for himself,
but Hunter is forced to join the Mafia in order to get custody of and protect
his little sister Tessa, after their parents are killed. Not only does Hunter
have a photographic memory, but he also has an uncanny ability with numbers
making him a very valuable asset of the Mafia.
Smart as he is, Hunter knows right away
that their ruthless and soulless leader has a special reason for putting a
feisty blonde beside him, and when he finds out the truth, he is torn between
his burning desire for revenge and an insane and illogical pull to protect her
from everything and everyone including himself.
This is an exciting and romantic story of
love, hate, revenge and redemption. The author keeps the book interesting and
suspenseful by revealing the plot to the readers early on but at the same time
keeping her main character ignorant of the truth. The readers are kept anticipating
and, in my case, second-guessing Hunter’s reaction to each layer of revelation.
The author successfully creates endearing
characters in both the male and female protagonists. Hunter is the perfect hero
emboldened by his gift and haunted by his guilt but willing to do anything and
everything for the people he loves while Shayla is the damsel in distress,
beaten but not broken, who sees through Hunter’s façade and finds an
affectionate and caring person.
However, in addition to a few noticeable
errors, I didn’t like the ending much, though I believe it is a strategy to
entice the readers to wait for the second book in the series. Still, I find
this book very enjoyable.
