This was a fun action packed adventure that has you gripping for more!

We are back with another action-packed adventure.
We have a top-tier nanny, Davina, who is currently in charge of Mikey. She has her work cut out for her because when she is not getting 🔫 at, she is dealing with a little boy who thinks he is older than what he is.

This volume covers episodes 13-24 of the webtoom series.

Thoughts:

I think this series is amazing for all my mafia lovers. There is danger and also comic relief. Davina is that Girl when it comes to bad🍑 female characters. New characters enter these episodes. Val and Nico are great. This is the series that will get you out of that pesky reading slump!

Omg that ending!!! I started this series in WEBTOON and was so excited to see it as an ARC opportunity. The art in this series is phenomenal and the storyline is captivating! Cannot wait for the next installment.

Book two, and the mafia nanny is still just as badass as ever! This time, she may have gotten herself—and the man she works for—into some serious trouble while digging for information about her past and her parents. But no matter what happens, her top priority is always protecting the child in her care, and she’ll do anything to keep him safe. This story is packed with action and heart, and the art style perfectly complements the fast-paced, emotional plot.

I'm a bit obsessed with this webtoon, and I want to thank whoever made the decision to print it. This volume collects episodes 13-24 of the webtoon series.

If you're new here: Davina is an elite nanny and she's currently in charge of Mikey, the son of the Venetian underboss, Gabriel Angelini. Davina is realizing just how dangerous the mafia world is, and she's only getting more tangled up in it. She's determined to protect Mikey, but something happens that makes her realize that her duty is clashing with her ethics.

This volume introduces new supporting characters: Val and Nico. Get ready to see more of them! The last thing I want to to mention is that this volume contains the *first* moment between Davina and Gabriel that highlights their awareness of each other in a more overt way. I read that scene, I think, last year, and it still lives rent-free in my brain.

Anyway, this webtoon series has me in a chokehold waiting for Monday nights. If you're a mafia romance reader, then definitely check this out.

I was so excited to see this webtoon available as an arc!

The Mafia Nanny is a fast-paced tale filled with action, romance, intrigue – and surprising moments of tenderness. The characters are well-balanced and I loved seeing the relationships deepen in Vol. 2.

Davina is the kind of protagonist I love to root for – resilient, intelligent, and deeply caring. She’s committed to doing whatever it takes as a nanny for Mikey (who is the absolute cutest and deserves the world), even if it comes at the cost of serious drama and danger.

I’m excited to see the tension and romance ramp up in the next volume between her and Gabriel!

I really enjoyed this volume! I'm excited to delve more into Davina's backstory! She is a great protagonist! And a great nanny! Even if there are lots of mishaps with her charge, Mikey. So much secrecy around Gabriel too!! And the tension! My god! This was a great addition to the ongoing story. I can't wait for more, and to figure out what is going on with Gabriel's horrid uncle! Does the have the wife? Is she really dead? So exciting!

I need Volume 3 right now! The art continues to be absolutely stunning, with expressive characters and richly detailed panels that pull you into every scene. The blend of action, romance, and found family hits all the right notes—heartfelt, intense, and surprisingly tender. I’m fully invested in these characters and can’t wait to see where the story goes next!

I was SAT the entire time OMG I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH.

In the second volume of The Mafia Nanny, Davina sinks further into the Angelini mafia with heart racing action sequences, sizzling tension, and mystery. I truly could not keep myself from turning the pages fast enough. The story moves effortlessly, driven majority by threats to Mikey (and Gabriel's) lives. In this volume, we also have the introduction of a handful of characters that are ... well, they are quite colorfully dangerous. I really liked the addition of Nico and Val, who are chaotically charming, especially when it comes to their interactions with Mikey. And let's not forget the bonds that are strengthening, particularly between Davina and Mikey, and Davina x Gabriel. I kid you not, there were a handful of moments where I was giggling and kicking my feet in glee when these two had intense interactions with arm grasps (I SAW THOSE BLUSHES OKAY?).

The cliffhanger for this volume is criminal. I mean, I would also be freaking TF out if (HA, I AM NOT SPOILING BUT SERIOUSLY ...). I need the next volume IMMEDIATELY.

This is a perfect read for those craving a bit of high stakes action, adventure, cuteness (adjacent to the The Boss Baby), and romance.

I was immediately drawn to this WEBTOON for the name alone. A nanny for the mafia?! Sign me up. Then to find out that she’s HIGHLY trained and will do anything to make sure her charge is safe and happy. Chef’s kiss! I love this series and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Also….Mikey is the cutest lil boy I have ever read about in my entire life! And Davina is the perfect nanny for this family.

This second volume of The Mafia Nanny carried us deeper into the world where Davina might find answer, if she can stays on track.

Once again, such a creative character to follow around—her backstory, her personality, her skills, and the answer she’s looking for are so very mysterious—and it’s both heartbreaking and heartwarming to see her get attached to Mickey. I love that she’s basically a high-end hacker, on top of everything else, so much! What an icon.

Talking about Mickey, he might be one of the genuinely funniest characters around at the moment. The mix of ultra-serious, used to horrible situations, and still being a kid at heart, is just so so good. His faces are absolutely peak lol

The mafia politics are so interesting to follow too! The different crime syndicates and their bosses, can’t wait to learn more about it!. (Loved the scary babushka) I think it’s great that we follow a character that knows just a little too much about it all! The tension between her and the dad is so good. I love whatever they got going on, they’re so messy; like he definitely knows something about her, and she knows something about him and AH.

I also really enjoy her relationship with Mrs. Bremerton still being present! You can see they really see each others as family and it’s so heartwarming to know that even thought her family is all gone, it’s not one of those stories where she’s stuck in a bad situation because she doesn’t have a place to fall back to. It really makes her in control of her place in all this and I love that she has that much agency!

The art is amazing too, some of those panels are just so intense—like that scene where she’s bleeding out on the ground and you think she’s out, but then it show her conscious with fury in her eyes, while some others are definitely more goofy and make it fun to follow along; love the range of it all.

The romance that seems to be building up is definitely something I look forward to in the next volume, especially with how messy and complicated it will make their relationship—which is already pretty messed up. I love a bit of drama.. and with their tension already existing I know it’s going to be top tier. (When he finally blushed too!!!! YEAHHH!!!)

I AM EATING THIS SERIES UP.

It’s everything I would want in a mafia manwha. There is more action and more *raises brows* romance. Davina keeps being the BAMF she is and protecting Mikey at all costs, even if that means harm to herself. The tension between Davina and Gabriel continues to rise and almost reaching a tipping point that leaves me waiting for the moment it all explodes.

We get more of the background and the plot continues to thicken. I can’t wait to see what’s next for this little family and our BAMF FMC. The closer Davina gets, the more she’s entangled in the mess.

Even without reading vol 1 I was able to mostly understand what was going on. Story is good and the artwork is well done. I also like that most if not all the panels were larger which made this easier to read on a device.

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the first volume of this series, and this second one was even better. It picks up right where the first left off—there’s so much drama, mystery, and tension and I looooved it.

On top of all that, it also has a comedic side—Michael and Davina’s interactions are just too cute, and they make the perfect team.

There are new characters, and it’s really interesting to see how they’re incorporated into the family dynamic. I was left wanting to read more and more. I’m so curious about Davina’s past and how it will connect to Gabriel—I can’t wait for the next volume!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book !! 🤍

I adored this volume! The Mafia Nanny is by far the most engaging, fast paced and interesting comic/webcomic I’ve read in a long time. I need to know what happens next!

Thank you to Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group, WEBTOON Unscolled, and NetGalley for the ARC!

We’re back with increasingly high stakes, solid character development, and a couple of new faces! Nico, Val, and Louis are fun additions to an already great cast of characters. Davina continues to be an absolute badass while battling with the reality of who she works for. Mikey is adorable and amusing, I really enjoy how his relationship with Davina has grown. His relationship with Gabriel is also so special, I love seeing how much they love each other. The tension between Gabriel and Davina is palpable and I look forward to more! It’s a slow burn but absolutely worth the journey. The art is lovely, I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Quick typo note: on page 183 I think “curtain” was written instead of “certain.”

Still a ridiculous concept, and still brilliantly executed. The tension ratchets up and holds taut while juggling multiple characters’ personal struggles along with the overall plot. The action scenes flow a bit better than in the first volume, and we get a lot of expressive visual nuance with the characters’ internal monologues.

If you aren’t physically attracted to Michele, then I don’t know if we can speak. Yes, I know that he’s a 2D character and I could care less. I read a review that said this felt like Dramione fanfic and now I can’t unsee it. But for me, it’s if Draco got massively buff and amount 1000% hotter. Not 100. Not 999. 1000%!!!

This is a play on the mafia don trope, but if the love interest was a really well trained nanny/bodyguard/hacker who is out to revenge the loss of her parents and she thinks it’s the Angelini’s who killed them. I don’t read a lot in that genre, but if I knew it was going to be like this, I’d be a new fan!

Thank you to WebToon Unscrolled and NetGalley for voted eARC.

Volume two contains episodes 13-26 of the webtoon.

We return to our favorite mafia family and their newly hired nanny just in time for some big character developments and quite a bit of plot advancement.

Davina signs Mikey up for art class hoping it will encourage him to be creative and grow his artistic skills, and some hope for him to make friends his age. However their enemies find out that Mikey is leaving the family compound, they use this to make a statement to the Gabriele and the rest of the family. At this time we get two new faces, Nico and Val, will they prove to truly be friend or will they be foe?

Davina continues to show her loyalty and willingness to do whatever needs to be done to keep her charge safe. However she has principles and she does not want to get involved in the Mafia business. She is at odds with what she thinks is right.

She also is trying to uncover the mysteries of her past and now that the current events are starting to look and feel quite like what happened when she was a child. Davina becomes increasingly more suspicious.

I love how Mikey and Davina are becoming closer , he truly has some one he know is there for him. He continues to want to be around his dad and the mafia life, but when Davina finds out why, she is more determined to uncover what is truly going on within the family and how she can protect Mikey and show him he can have a life away from crime.

Gabriele is keeping secrets, but how far do his secrets go. He asked for Davina specifically and keeps claiming it was because she does well with computers. However the longing looks and subtle hints he gives her, prove there is clearly more to the story. The tension between the two of them is so thick you could slice it with a knife. I wanna grab their heads and push them together and yell "KISS ALREADY!".

The character development is great in this volume. As i said lots happen but the way that they react to all the events, really shows how well these characters are thought out and written. The "side" characters are also so well flushed out and play a big part in moving the story forward.

Ill repeat this as I said this in volume one Gabriele * chefs kiss* , if you are looking for a mafia man who would burn the world down for the ones he loves, here is is ladies and gents. Also, don't think I missed how he got jealous at dinner when she was talking to someone else...I see you Gabriele, I know what your up to sir!

If your looking for a story to get totally absorbed in, I promise you The Mafia Nanny wont let you down. Its got action , its got slow burn romance, its got found family, its got a super hot mafia dad.

Thank you NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group | WEBTOON Unscrolled for the Digital ARC for review.
