Review: Black Tears

Black Tears by Angel Nyx
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I’ve read all of Angel Nyx’s releases to date, except for Scarlet Roses (which is on my to-read list), and have enjoyed them all. Some I have enjoyed a bit more than others, but they’ve consistently left me willing to come back for more. When I found out the next Angel Nyx release was to be a mafia release, I was super eager.

I have a weakness for mafia romances, especially the dark kind, and had high hopes for Black Tears. Although I did enjoy Black Tears, it wasn’t quite to my usual mafia standard. I think a large part of this is a reflection of the books I usually read in the genre. I read the super dark, the extremely intense, and Black Tears is more for the mainstream mafia romance reader. For those of you raising an eyebrow in questioning, I assure you there is a difference. I belong to the group reading the books others label too dark, and it often leaves me a wee bit disappointed by the mainstream notion of mafia romances.

Despite the fact Black Tears was not as dark and intense as I usually like my mafia romances to be, it was an addictive read. It was a quick read, one I devoured in no time at all, and there was plenty thrown into the story. There were the expected elements for such a read, along with a few twists to make it unique. Moreover, we were introduced to a family that will leave you wanting to come back for more.

Whilst Black Tears has not earned the label of my favourite Angel Nyx read, it’s another addictive story.
