Cruel Blood is not meant to condone or glorify the activities of the mob. In fact, I wrote this book to show the dark side of this lifestyle.  \nAs a mob boss, Romeo Marino is a morally gray character who does things you most likely won’t approve of. Yes, he is a Christian, but he was conditioned not only to survive the underworld, but to rule it. Consequently, his behavior won’t change overnight, and he won’t be fully redeemed until the final installment of this trilogy. This book focuses much more on his struggle to remain in the light while still having one foot in the underworld.  \nPlease make sure to check the content warnings on the following page before diving in.  \nBlessings, Skylar J.

For the longest time, it’d been true.  \nBut if the rumors checked out, what’d happened today changed everything. I could no longer afford to die.  \nA cocktail of anger and adrenaline coursed through my veins as I gunnedit down the interstate toward Glam City on my Yamaha YZF-R1, the tropical night wind tearing at my slacks and dress shirt. Traffic was busy, forcing me to switch lanes and weave between vehicles. I’d worked like a dog to finally sever my ties to the Darkwater Refuge Cosa Nostra.  \nAnd now my brother had screwed me ov","cbCaiunTUjDW6uAF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiunTUjDW6uAF","pdf",3727370,274,"English","en",105,"# Dedication\n# Author's Note\n# Content Warnings\n# Prologue\n## Chapter 1\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3\n## Chapter 4\n## Chapter 5\n## Chapter 6\n## Chapter 7\n## Chapter 8\n## Chapter 9\n## Chapter 10\n## Chapter 11\n## Chapter 12\n## Chapter 13\n## Chapter 14\n# Chapter 15\n## Chapter 16\n## Chapter 17\n## Chapter 18\n## Chapter 19\n## Chapter 20\n## Chapter 21\n## Chapter 22\n## Chapter 23\n## Chapter 24\n## Chapter 25\n## Chapter 26\n## Chapter 27\n## Chapter 28\n## Chapter 29\n## Chapter 30\n## Chapter 31\n## Chapter 32\n## Chapter 33\n## Chapter 34\n## Chapter 35\n## Chapter 36\n## Chapter 37\n## Chapter 38\n## Chapter 39\n## Chapter 40\n## Chapter 41\n## Chapter 42\n## Chapter 43\n## Chapter 44\n## Chapter 45\n## Chapter 46\n## Chapter 47\n## Chapter 48\n## Chapter 49\n## Chapter 50\n## Chapter 51\n# Epilogue\n# What's Next\n# Dear Reader\n# Acknowledgements\n# Playlist","[{\"question\":\"What is Cruel Blood primarily about?\",\"answer\":\"It follows Romeo Marino, a morally gray Christian mob boss, and highlights his internal struggle to remain in the light while still living by the underworld’s rules.\"},{\"question\":\"Is the book intended for young readers?\",\"answer\":\"No. The book is intended for readers 18+ due to mature themes and potentially distressing scenes.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of content warnings are included?\",\"answer\":\"The warnings include organized crime, torture, murder (including that of an unborn child), drug addiction, suicide, child (sexual) abuse, rape, and moderate violence and gore.\"}]","Cruel Blood - Skylar J.
