Synopsis:
Emma DonatiSome days, it felt like Emma had just imagined it all. Like maybe everything she had been with Calisto was just a dream. Emma knew it was crazy—it was impossible to forget what she had shared with Calisto Donati. All their love, the stolen moments, their foulness together, and the beauty underneath it all were real. They were real. But he didn’t know. He didn’t know any of it. And little by little, with every day that passed her by, Emma found she was losing those pieces that reminded her they had existed once. Just like the rosary. All too soon, Emma knew … there would be nothing left.
Calisto Donati
Emma hadn’t given him a choice. Her, not him. Yeah, that’s what Calisto was going to keep telling himself. He refused to feed into the strange curiosity he had about Emma Donati. It had been building from the moment he’d first seen her face after he’d awakened. He wouldn’t admit that for longer than he cared to admit, he thought there was more behind her false smile, polite words, and the distance she put between her and him—that there might be more to them. He couldn’t. Except … he was feeding into it. Calisto just wasn’t sure what it was. But tonight he was going to find out. Whether she wanted to tell him or not.

4.25 Stars
He knew he was missing something. More than memories. More than passing days and months. More than conversations, family and burials and business. Something important was missing.
The Donati Bloodlines series pulled me into its grasps and never let me go. They're the kind of books you read in one sitting, in order, just to get the full effect of the story. Thin Lives is no different, the story is just as gripping, especially after the cliffhanger we're left with at the end of Thin Lines. Best read in order, Thin Lives brings us back into the action-packed, suspense fueled world of Emma and Calisto, two star crossed lovers at the wrong end of the mafia's attention. The stakes are upped in Thin Lives, the drama kicked up a notch, the anxiety layered on thick, and the unknowns piling up. I knew this was going to be the closure I needed in the series, but I didn't know what to expect. Bethany-Kris did not let me down. From accidents to "accidents," the reader is in the midst of every twist and turn, left with only the ability to root for Calisto and Emma as they fight against the world they'd accepted for so long. There's nothing easy about these two, their relationship is just as impossible in this final book as it has been in the past, but the fight is real and the steps they take to make the impossible possible made me turn every page just that much faster.
If something feels wrong to you, it probably is. If it doesn't seem right, then it isn't. Dont trust based on loyalty and blind faith. He is not who you think he is.
Like the previous two novels, I was swept right back into the story, in love with Bethany-Kris' ability to write such distinctly unique characters with different thoughts and dialogue styles. The characters came to life for me, the bloodshed seemed to happen before my very eyes, and as things got tense I scooted right to the edge of my seat, prepared for anything. This conclusion takes everything the previous two novels built upon and provides readers with the ending they desired from the very beginning, only with a lot more depth and action than your usual HEA. Bethany-Kris also delivers with a detailed epilogue, that wasn't necessarily my style, but did answer all the reader's burning questions. It also allowed us to see the future, the next books to come from the always incredible storyteller of mafia romance.
I know you're what I'm missing...
The Donati Bloodlines are an absolute favorite of mine; I love Emmy, and I have a little dark spot in my heart for Cal. If you are a fan of mafia romance and looking for an author who tells the story right, Bethany-Kris is it for you.
CALISTO AND EMMA AREN'T STAR-CROSSED. THEY ARE IMPOSSIBLE. READ WHERE IT ALL STARTED IN THE FIRST 2 BOOKS IN THE DONATI BLOODLINES SERIES!
