There was only one way to ensure peace amount the mafia families. Six mafia families, six daughters and six arranged marriages. Nice enough.ĪLL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS Other than this, the story was pretty good.

If you're writing a series of books with several authors, don't you fact check with each other at least? Okay maybe this isn't a big deal but it's stuff like this that irks me sometimes. But in book 2 her brothers already know about everything before Lily entered their family, which is impossible according to book 1's timeline. In book one Rose clearly knows that her elder brother is going back to their country to marry Lily as soon as her wedding is over.Īnd here in this book, Rose's brothers already know about her poly relationship before her eldest brother married Lily! Rose was married to her guy for months before she and her men made it official about being in a poly relationship. In this book, Lily marries into the Mexican cartel, who's daughter (Rose) marries into the Irish Mafia in book one. In the first book it was clearly mentioned that everyone would get married during the same year and that they were waiting for one of the family's daughter to turn 18 before they did so. So each book begins with a daughter leaving her family and getting married to the leader/heir of another mafia family. They picked chits and decided which family's daughter would marry which family's son and this happened in book one. The Mafia Wars is a series of 6 books written by different authors about a group of mafia heads who decide to marry off their daughters to each of their sons in order to maintain a sense of peace between them.

So one thing I hate about stories are the inconsistencies between two books or more in a series of books. *Recommended 18+ due to mature language, adult situations, and sensitive content *Gunmetal Lily is a full-length reverse harem novel in the dark and twisted Mafia Wars world I am determined to come out ahead in their Mafia Wars. I'm named after a flower, but I don't wilt. My new family will discover I am more than just a pawn in their chess game. But even the terrible images those words evoke are nothing compared to what is coming for me.

The daughter of mobsters, I now belong to the Mexican Cartel. I was twelve when they decided that, in ten years, I’d belong to the Hernandez family.

I didn’t matter more than the security I could bring to the marketplace. A decade earlier, they decided that we were expendable, that we could be sold in marriage to keep their dealings honest. What did these powerful families have as collateral? Their daughters.
