Review of The Exceptions by David Cristofano
David Cristofano's The Exceptions is a suspenseful and gripping novel that explores themes of trust, betrayal, family, and loyalty. The story revolves around the life of Bobby Dodge, a skilled mafia hitman who has been working for the notorious Tommy Malone. However, things take a different turn for Bobby when he falls in love with a woman named Elizabeth, who makes him question his loyalties and his sense of morality.

The novel starts with a bang, as Bobby is introduced to the readers as a ruthless and efficient hitman who has a reputation for being the best in his field. Throughout the story, Bobby grapples with his inner demons as he considers leaving the criminal lifestyle and starting anew with Elizabeth. However, his past catches up with him, and he finds himself in a desperate situation, where he must choose between his newfound love and his old loyalties.

One of the standout features of the novel is the way it portrays the characters and their motivations. Bobby is a complex and likable protagonist who is torn between his violent past and his desire for a peaceful future. Elizabeth is a strong and independent woman who challenges Bobby's beliefs and values, and Tommy Malone is a ruthless and charismatic villain who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

The plot of the novel is well-crafted and keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. There are several unexpected plot twists that keep the story fresh and exciting, and the ending is satisfying and thought-provoking.

Overall, The Exceptions is a well-written and thrilling novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Cristofano's clever use of suspense and intricate character development makes for an excellent read. If you're in the mood for a page-turning thriller that explores complex moral themes, then The Exceptions is a must-read.
