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.
