Books like Ven

Short name, long shadow. Ker Dukey's Ven is mafia romance at its bleakest. Lightless, open-door. Take note: brutality, coercion and cruelty. Dukey writes crime with a horror writer's eye for the grotesque. If you have read her killers, you know what she can do with a mobster. Approach with care and a strong stomach.

The read-alikes below share that weather: Mafia dark romance. Spice on Ven is 4 of 5. Darkness is 5 of 5. Picks are scored on shared tropes, spice, darkness and trigger warnings, with no more than two from any one author. Each reason is ours, not a copied review.
