Meet The Clemenza..

A new MM Mafia series from Leighton Greene, The Beast Who Bought Me, did not disappoint at all! Her first MM Mafia series brought you the East Coast Mafia and the Morelli family, her second, The West Coast Mafia and the Castellini's. Yet, with this upcoming trilogy, I would say it's more of a spinoff of the East Coast series, as it starts an enemy of The Morelli Family, The Clemenzas. We start off learning that the majority of the Clemenza family has been eradicated, mostly by Don Morelli, but since then he ordered a cease fire, leaving whoever remains untouched. And now, there's only one left, the heir to the Family, MMC #1 Caligula "Cal" Clemenza. Nevertheless, someone still wants him dead, and there's isn't lack of trying. In his quest for safety, he runs into a man who he thinks will help him, until he sees he's from a rival family, The Guiliano's. He runs again, this time to his one "friend" he can trust. This is where he learns about an underground society of rich men who buys people for a contracted amount of time. With no money or safety, Cal feels this is his only hope. Desperate times call for desperate measures right? He figures after his contract is up, the money allotted to him afterwards will help him disappear. He makes sure to get the bidders to raise their amounts so he can secure his bag. He notices the Bratva, a man that he was told to look for, who really wanted him. But in the end, he is outbid by the man he ran into by the Guiliano's. That man turns out to be MMC #2 Damiano Orsini, a high ranking member and enforcer for the Guiliano family, who seems to have gone rogue by acquiring Cal. He has a more personal reason for wanting him, and it's a good thing the author provides a content warning list, as Damiano doesn't exactly treat Cal well. Although, in my opinion it's not too bad, but I can see how it can be triggering for other people. The Beast Who Bought Me is a terrific series starter for the Clemenza Family, but unfortunately ends on a cliffhanger. Now I am in complete anticipation for the next book. Perhaps while I wait, I'll reread her books and start from the beginning! I really do love how the author is expanding the Morelliverse to feature the other families. The Mafia world she created is pretty big and is always changing! Everyone has a story to tell and I can't wait to read them all!
