But loving a self-professed, monster, can never be easy, even if she comes from the same world. It is only for love that he will risk everything. Just when he thinks he will never feel again, love shows him another reality. Somewhere along the way, however, he becomes detached. Above everything else Corrado is a survivor, and he learns to do whatever is necessary to survive, even kill. Left to fend for himself the life cycle of crime eventually repeats itself. His teenage years only get worse before they get, arguably, better. Instead, he is left to piece it all together bit by bit, through the eyes of an innocent child, as he slowly rules out what else his father possibly could not be. You get the sad sense that Corrado as a child doesn't even know who his father really is.
His father, well he cares, but isn't around much to make much of a difference and doesn't necessarily show his love in traditional ways. His twin sister aspires to cling to whatever shred of love still remains in the corpse of a body that is his mother by following in her abusive footsteps. His mother is an alcoholic who loves to abuse him. From the start, you get a view of the sad world Corrado was born into.

If you are a fan of mafia romances, then I can't recommend Made highly enough!First off, it is worth noting that if you, like me, have not yet had a chance to read any of the other Sempre novels, then don't worry, Made can be read as a standalone.
Corrado makes you almost understand what could cause someone to shut down their feelings sufficiently enough to become a hit man. I loved the glimpse into the mafia world which unfolds over several decades in this detailed book. 5 "You are the Only Thing in the World That Makes Me Feel" Stars! What an unbelievably touching and heart breaking story.
