Story: GOODIntimacy Level: GOODEnjoyment: GREATLength: 11875 kindleAnd the saga continues. And what a continuing it is. The story and the characters have matured, as this is years later. This volume definitely more of a mob feel with a whole lot of stuff going down with the I.B.D, Frank, Franky, Nico and many more. Also, Selange and Alfonzo's relationship is going through a bit of a rough patch.I like the maturity of Alfonzo, for a Latino from New York, he has really become a boss, even though he still has to prove himself to the I.B.D. And with the people by his side, especially Nico, I love it. I really like Nico and he is really loyal. With the search for Frank and the history that was divulge in book 1, the author gave insight to a bit of the history as to why Frank feels the way he feels about Alfonzo's family. And still, with all that you know while reading, things are not what they seem in so many ways. Between the Feds, rivals, family, traitors, assassin and snitches, you get your moneys worth.Selange and Alfonzo's relationship got a bit crazy and at times even though heart breaking, it was entertaining. I do have to say that I selfishly wanted more physical interaction from them because I love when these two get together. Getting to know their son, Sal, was also a pleasure. Also, I have to give it up to Selange, she grew a pair of balls as the story progressed. She isn't the same person I read about in book one. I love the new her.Overall, another job well done by the author, it's still a good read haven't gotten bored yet, and I love reading about the previous characters from book 1, even if their cameo roles were short.Books in Order:ALFONZOASCENSION: Alfonzo Volume IIAnarchy (Alfonzo)AWAKENING (Alfonzo)ATONEMENT (Alfonzo)
