What are the characteristics of a good mafia novel that is not erotic?

I can't provide details on mafia erotic novels as they contain inappropriate content. But generally, mafia - themed stories often involve elements of crime, power struggle, and loyalty.

Good mafia novels often have complex characters. They are not just one - dimensional villains. For example, in 'The Godfather', Michael Corleone has his own moral dilemmas. Another characteristic is a detailed and gritty setting. It makes the mafia world seem real. Also, a good plot with twists and turns, like in 'Gomorrah', keeps the readers engaged.

They often have a dangerous and edgy setting. The mafia backdrop brings in elements like power struggles, secrecy, and violence. For example, in many of these books, the male lead is a powerful mafia figure who has to deal with rival gangs.

Mafia novels often feature power struggles. There are always different factions within the mafia vying for control, like in 'The Godfather' where the Corleone family has internal and external battles for dominance.

A good 'erotic free novel' is likely to have a strong and engaging plot. For instance, mystery novels where the story keeps you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out the solution to a crime or a puzzle.

A great mafia movie without any sexual content is 'Donnie Brasco'. It's based on a true story and shows the relationship between an FBI agent who goes undercover in the mafia and the mafia members he befriends. It's a story of loyalty, betrayal, and the mafia code, all without any inappropriate stuff. 'Casino' is also a good one. It's set in Las Vegas and shows the mafia's influence on the casino business, again without any erotic elements.

Mafia romance books often have a sense of danger. The male lead is usually a powerful and often dangerous mafia figure. There's a lot of secrecy and mystery in these stories. For example, in many of them, the heroine may not initially know the true identity of the hero. Also, there's intense passion. The forbidden nature of the relationship between a normal person and a mafia member adds to the allure and the heat of the romance.

The characters in mafia graphic novels are usually complex. There are the tough - as - nails mob bosses who have a code of honor (even if it's a twisted one), and then there are the conflicted underlings. In '100 Bullets', the characters are all caught up in a web of lies and power plays, and their backstories are gradually revealed, adding depth to the story.

One characteristic is the portrayal of a hierarchical structure. In these books, you often see the boss at the top, with lieutenants and soldiers below. Another is the code of loyalty and honor among the mafia members, which is usually a central theme. Also, there's often a lot of violence and illegal activities depicted.

New mafia novels often have complex characters. They are not just one - dimensional villains but have their own motives, desires, and even a sense of morality in some cases. For example, in 'The Family' novel, the main character in the mafia family has a soft side for his family members which makes him more relatable.
