Judy Serrano

I have loved every book from Judy Serrano’s Lilly series and book number 4 Memoirs of a Mobster was everything I hoped it would be. This time the story was told my Deigo Montiago (Junior) Lilly’s first born son who is now a grown man. There were lots of twists and turns to the book which is what I loved with all of the books in the series. All of the favourites are still in the book, Deigo Snr, Max, Hector, Lilly of course and Diego Jnr married pregnant Contessa first to protect her from his father Johnny but he falls in love with her almost instantly and when Johnny is killed Nico takes over. Nico is Diego Jnr’s cousin but he is a loaded weapon. Things get crazier and crazier Nico wants Tess. Deigo Snr and Lilly marry and head off for their honeymoon leaving Deigo Jnr, Hector who reappears after being shot in the head all those years ago and Max who also was “killed” turns up. Its all so crazy but so believable.

I loved everything about the book. Even though it was years after the first four books I got into it straight away. It told of what happened between book four when Deigo was 15 to now a 30 year old. I couldn’t get enough of it. It was very well written and I cannot wait for the next installment that I think again will blow me away.

The series would definitely make a great film and I would be one of the first to watch it.… (plus d'informations)

I have loved every book in the Easter’s Lilly series and The Lost Years is no exception. In Memoirs of a Mobster Diego Junior was the main character of the book and we were left wondering what happened in the years between the shooting at Max and Lilly’s new home and this book. Thankfully Mrs Serrano decided to tell us in The Lost Years, again it was from Jr’s point of view as a young teenager where he experienced love and heartache, killing, the cartel life as he knew it and fitting in at a new school where everyone called him Mafia Boy.
I really liked Jr he was pretty level-headed for a teenager boy, and for the life he had so far, he had quite a mixed up childhood due to his Mom Lilly falling in love with all of his uncles. He was a caring boy towards girls but when business needed sorting he would do it without hesitation. He was very similar to Max where it came to shooting someone he didn’t have a reaction time he just done it.
The relationship between Bri and Jr was blossoming well until she got sick and I felt so sad for them, at such a young age as well.
If you have liked the previous books in the Easter’s Lilly series you cannot miss this book, it fills in a lot of gaps.
Very well written as always and again I was completely hooked.… (plus d'informations)

I am a huge fan of Judy Serrano so expected nothing less than a well written book with lots going on again. The story started off exactly where the second book had left off. Where Junior had shot Max.

Lilly was a vigilant wife who sat reading to Max everyday for almost a year while he lay in a coma.

But then she needed a companion and the person she asked for that companionship was the already taken Hector AGAIN!

When Max finally does come out of the coma he and Hector compete for Lilly’s affection.

With attempted rape, kidnap, shootings, abuse, bed hopping , highs and lows it made another gripping book and I read it so quickly as I could not put it down.

I totally loved the book as I did the other two in the series and with another HUGE cliffhanger at the ending of Relatively Close I am left waiting eagerly for the next book to be released.… (plus d'informations)

Ivy Vines has to be one of the best books I have read this year. I love paranormal romances. This was slightly different to the vampire and werewolves that seem to be the norm at the moment. In Ivy Vines, we have Seers, Guardians, Gatekeepers and the devil himself Lucifer.

Ivy knew she had psychic abilities since she was a teenager, she has visions but her visions are not always good. It was becoming a curse and as time went by her friends going away to college and nothing being left at home for her she decides to move to Sedona in the hope that her and her ex would start over together. That is until she goes for a job interview where Michael works and meets Eli, the owner. There was a powerful connection between them and it isn’t long before she is his. There are strange things happening in Sedona though. When seers are being killed, the Vortex Murders and a witch that seems to pop up from nowhere. I could go on but it would spoil it for anyone that wants to read it. I will say that it is AMAZING!!!!

I really liked Ivy, she had a good heart and was very strong. Eli and Michael, I didn’t like so much. They both betray Ivy in some way. Jake, OMG I loved him. He was perfect in every way, kind, caring, a true gentleman that would go to the ends of the Earth for the woman he loved.

I do hope there is a book 2 as the way Visions was left it seemed like there may be.

I love Judy Serrano’s books, I have not read one that I have not liked and every book gets better and better.… (plus d'informations)
