Fresh Fiction Review

The Santangelos

Suspense

Oh to be Italian!

Lucky Santangelos is the daughter of a once very powerful Italian Don. Though the years Lucky has made a lot of decisions in her life that have affected many people including her family. Lucky is married to Lennie, a movie producer. They have had their ups and downs, but have always tried to put family first.

Lucky receives a phone call that her father has been murdered. Lucky is in shock, but knows what needs to be done. Find the murderer and get her revenge. So many suspects.. her step-mother and other powerful Italian families. Could it be someone seeking revenge against her or perhaps her father? Only time will tell.

Jackie Collins series about Lucky and her family has been one of my favorites. Could it be because I am Italian? I am sure that that is part of it, but I also feel any one would enjoy this book along with the other ones in the series. I have always joked with my family that I wish I had been an Italian princess. By reading Jackie Collins' books, I can put myself in Lucky's shoes and dream about it. Not that I would seek revenge, like Lucky did, but that doesn't mean THE SANTANGELOS isn't a great book just the same.

There are several characters in this series that carry though all of the books. Even if you have never read any of the other ones, it is not hard to figure out who belongs to whom. I like that anyone can pick up THE SANTANGELOS and start reading without reading the other books in the series. Jackie Collins just keeps getting better and better.

Read THE SANTANGELOS, enjoy a glass of wine and put yourself in her shoes.
