If you have stumbled upon this book and have not read the others in the series... please start downloading them now! You can preview if you want but you do not need to because you will NOT be disappointed.The mark of a great author is someone who can evoke thinking and ignite emotions.... they will also cause you to drink abnormally more then you usually do. SW Frank does all of these.The Alfonzo's series reads like a well written soap opera(yes it is possible). The main characters are Alfonzo Diaz(protagonist), Selange Brown Diaz(Alfonzo's wife), Nico Serano(Hitman/Mob Enforcer/?)and Giuseppe Dichenzo(Don of Italy/relative of Alfonzo) along with a host of other supporting  characters, all if which you will either love, hate, or just plain love to hate; what you will not want to do is put the book down and miss out on any of the action in their lives.In volume 6 Nico's son has been kidnapped and he, Al and Giuseppe must put aside some major issues and work together against time to get Nico's child back.Selange must face her past mistakes when she is forced to share living quarters with Ariana(Nico's ex-wife) the woman she has wronged. The team is forced to deal with a mob war caused by Giuseppe's actions. Some bonds are forged while others are broken(this made me quite sad, lives are lost and new(crazy!) people are introduced into.The journey that we are taken on is one hell of a ride but dang it if it isn't worth it. This book was a excellent read, and as always it was done in one sitting solely because I refused to put it down. Some things didn't pan out they way I wanted them to and others broke my heart. With that said if it would have then that would have been predictable and this is one thing this series is not. I have my fingers crossed for some of the characters and I hope they can find their way "home" through the AFTERMATH. :)This is a can't miss series.Here is the order of release:ALFONZOASCENSION: Alfonzo Volume IIAnarchy (Alfonzo)ATONEMENT (Alfonzo)AWAKENING (Alfonzo)
