GOODREADS SUMMARY: Lucian “Luke” Teivel isn’t just any exile—he’s Lucifer’s son, freshly banished from Hell with no forwarding address and zero explanation. Now he’s stuck in the human world, paying cosmic penance by working for Infernal Affairs, a secret task force that polices supernatural crime and decides whether the guilty belong in prison…or back in the Pit. Luke’s doing his best to blend in and not burn his petty annoyances when a new partner storms into his life: Detective Sorcha O’Malley.

  GOODREADS SUMMARY: Summer, 1969. Eleanor Bell, a widow, has always given everything she had to her family, forgoing her own dreams of becoming a singer. When she receives a diagnosis of early Alzheimer’s on the eve of her sixty-ninth birthday, she decides to go on an epic musical bucket-list trip to fulfill her dreams: A summer tour of festivals.  Except she forgets, maybe on purpose, to tell anyone where she’s going. Leanne Miller discovers her mother missing, and she enlists the help of her somewhat distant college-aged daughter, Nora, to help her find Eleanor.

Image
  THE MAFIA VERSE OF LJ SHEN If you’ve ever finished an LJ Shen book and immediately wondered, “Wait… haven’t I met that family before?” the answer is probably yes. LJ Shen has built one of my favorite interconnected mafia universes, where characters cross paths, family trees branch across multiple series, and one romance often leads you straight into another.

Today I’m diving into LJ Shen’s mafia multiverse, sharing how the books connect and hopefully helping a few of you decide where to start. So, grab your coffee or tea, or in my case, a Diet Coke, settle into your favorite reading chair, and let's talk romance, felonies, and family dynasty. *************************** Shen's families operate primarily in New York City, the Bronx, Boston, and Camorra. She has perfected the combination of dark romance and crime with power plays an...
