By Sin I Rise: Part One

Written by Cora Reilly

Narrated by Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott

Maddox – Mad Dog – White hates everything the name Vitiello stands for, after he witnessed his father and his men getting butchered by the Capo of the Italian mob in their territory. Raised by his uncle, the president of the Tartarus MC, Maddox is destined to follow in his footsteps. Now their chapter is on the rise again, but for their ultimate triumph they need to destroy the Vitiello empire. And what better way to do it than to steal the spoilt Vitiello princess and break her piece by piece until her father begs for mercy.

Known as the spoilt princess of New York, Marcella Vitiello grew up in a golden cage. If your father is the most feared man in New York, people gift you with reverence.

Destined to marry the boyfriend approved by her father, Marcella is sick of being treated like an untouchable porcelain doll.

She resents the life forced upon her by her family until everything she took for granted is ripped from her. Where she’s now, her name doesn’t bring awe, only pain and humiliation.

If you’ve grown up in a high castle, the fall is all the deeper.

Sins of the fathers have a way of catching up, who’s going to bleed for them?

Reviews for By Sin I Rise

[Lindsy Sigmon · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great book, good storyline except the male narrator fake accent was so cringe to me. Spice was about 21/2 but again the storyline made up for it! Immediately starting book 2

[Marie Prospere · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

it was very bad, How can Maddox be so weak. The book didn't show us when they fall in love, how they fall in love, it was just attraction. I hated how Maddox killed his uncle or this selfish girl who doesn't even care about him. I hated the book, couldn't even finish it. Love the books of their parents, but the kids are too weak.

Overall OK. Idk why it's listed as a Billionaire Romance... More of a dark romance

Some of the character perspective sections seemed odd... Like the backtrack switch to the father finding out daughter was gone well after a lot of the kidnapping storyline had played out.

Spicy scenes were quick and lacked description.

Yes, there's some depiction of animal abuse but I don't think it was that bad. It went along with the storyline/characters.

I do wish the male narrator would've altered his voice for the father vs Maddox. A couple of perspective transitions were odd as I didn't realize they had happened.

A freaking cliffhanger!?! I need more! It was a Romeo and Juliet mafia that was so ? I need more! The narrators did an amazing job!

Just terrible! If you enjoy listening to a book with lots of details about animal abuse — dogs being starved, kept in cages, used in dog fights, shot and killed or severely injured — then this book is for you!
