Loyalty by Lisa Scottoline. A very dark story, hard to relate to the characters or events in the story. Not what I was expecting from a Lisa Scottoline book. Readers of historical novels may find the setting and events interesting

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book

Thank you for this advanced copy. I really like Lisa so thought I would give this book a try although I don’t care for historical fiction. I did not care for this book. It was way too long for one. Demon babies. Kids kidnapped and locked in mental instructions. Families killing each other. I ended up skipping around more than anything and it just had no interest to me. Happy ending though I guess you could say. If you’re a fan of Lisa but her earlier works, you may want to skip this one.

Lisa Scottoline first distinguished herself as a first-rate thriller writer. Now she is turning her hand to writing historical fiction, and I couldn't be happier! This was a fascinating inside look at the mafia as it grows in power in Sicily, and how it affects four unique, unforgetable souls. I loved this book and its epic feel, and I highly recommend it!

This book was everything I wanted it to be. It had me turned pages without even realizing. It was so good!
