Book Review: Arkham Mafia

 

**This omnibus combines the following His Inception, His Queen, His Retribution**



I’ve spent most of my life running from destiny but now it’s time to face my past, and fight for my future.

JE SUIS REVENU; I HAVE RETURNED

If I can’t run from him then I may as well become him. The ranks of Arkham are just as dangerous as when I left. Make no mistake that I will stop at nothing to take back what is mine. I’m all grown up and ready to exact my revenge; one body at a time.

The Don’s daughter was off-limits to everyone except me.

L’AMOUR DE MA VIE; LOVE OF MY LIFE

The streets are no longer safe in the city. Le Manchot has turned them into a criminal playground. I must keep Quinn caged, locked away, and hidden like the precious little jewel she is. Refusing to play the part of damsel in distress, she plots to take matters into her own hands. The only remaining move to end this torturous game is to conquer my queen and return her to the rightful place, wrapped in my protective arms.

I planned to start a war, and that’s exactly what I’ve done. Those who stand by Arkham will survive. While those who stand against us will perish from the birdcage forever.

LONGUE VIE AU ROI; LONG LIVE THE KING

Retribution is my destiny. The city will fall to me, and all those who stand in opposition will perish. The stakes are high as unrest grows throughout the birdcage. On the streets disobedience sets the stage for an inevitable war, as political unrest threatens to destroy the mafia from within.

Above all else, I will never sacrifice the safety of my queen.


My Review

This may be an omnibus, which means that it is thick, but it is still a fast read. It features all three books in this trilogy all rolled into this one book. I do like that I can read all three books in one. As a mafia romance reader, I liked the dark vibes.

The way that Des put her own twist on the Joker and Harley Quinn in the present day is fun. Christian and Quinn are meant for each other. Although in the first book, His Inception, Christian and Quinn do not have the fuzzy romantic vibes. 

Although, the relationship between these two does shift in His Queen. This is also due to the events in the prior book that had Quinn realizing just how much Christian would do anything to protect her. In the final book, His Retribution this is where everything all comes together for Quinn and Christian. 

If you are a fan of Harley Quinn and the Joker, you will want to check out this omnibus.
