Something Cole does especially well is that she writes these
sincerely flawed characters that might be questionable at times and have you
wondering if there’s a good guy (or woman) in the story. It’s something that I
love about her writing, because it speaks to the notion that these characters
aren’t ever just existing in either the black or white but rather the gray
area, which feels more genuine. The complexity of these characters is what
ultimately makes for a book that I couldn’t get enough of. These characters
aren’t what one would classically qualify as good or bad, and I think that’s
exactly what makes them so interesting.
Together, Massimo and Katiya have seriously hot chemistry,
but there is so much threatening their relationship and their trust in one
another. Yes, Katiya is working for a rival group, but then how will Massimo
react if he finds out? While I wish she would’ve been stronger on her own
terms, it makes sense that she couldn’t be. She’s a deeply damaged character,
and everything she’s suffered through keeps her living in fear and doubting
herself. The empathy I wound up feeling for Katiya sort of surprised me, and in
the end I just wanted to see her find some modicum of peace. I felt so badly
for what her character had gone through and needed to see what would become of
her, and I think she’s especially what kept me captivated by this book.
This is another great addition to this series. If you’re
looking for a dark, steamy, and totally gripping mafia romance, Crazed is it.
