By Sin I Rise: Part One by Cora Reilly
5.0
By Sin I Rise is the first book of a duet in the Sins of the Fathers series and it did not disappoint!
Maddox and Marcella’s story starts off with a bang and left me speechless and impatiently waiting for part 2. I had no idea I was in for a wild and memorable ride with this book, but alas, here we are.
Marcella Vitiello, for me, was the star of the show. She was born in a world where danger lurks at every corner, and yet she never wavered. Dubbed as the spoilt princess of New York, she hoped she can experience the freedom she longed for away from the golden cage that came with her family name. When the unexpected happens, and when she’s no longer in the safety net of her father, and in the enemy’s arms instead, she learns not to take things for granted the hard way.
Maddox White was for sure a complex character. After witnessing the death of his father and MC at the hands of Luca Vitiello, he vowed to take revenge on the man who destroyed his childhood and was the star of his nightmares for years. Maddox really surprised me, and his character was really intriguing. You can understand where he’s coming from and how his past shaped his views on things. Yet, with every chapter, he kept on surprising me even more. He was fierce and protective and knew how to set his priorities straight. A bad boy to the bone, but with a sweet& loving streak.
Marcella was strong and never gave into fear, she kept her head held high and her heels close. She stood her ground and never faltered after everything she experienced at the hands of the MC. Her father’s daughter through and through. She and Maddox made a spectacular pair, and you can just tell that they have that once in a lifetime connection.
I especially adored the family moments and how they are all protective towards each other and were each other’s support through everything. The Vitiellos are as strong as ever and nothing will change that. Amo and Marcella’s moments were everything>>
Maddox and Marcella still have a long road ahead and challenges to overcome. Their relationship is not easy, and their love for each other will be tested once again because their story is far from over.
Cora Reilly studied, understood, and passed the assignment. She didn’t miss a single thing, and she really knew how to kickstart this most anticipated series. I can't wait for this next book!!
