If you like Martina Cole and have been waiting for this book you will love it but take a breath every once in a while as it is hard going in places with the realism Is there anything new and wow presented?? Na, not really. But is it fast paced? Yeeeeeaup - had me hooked from beginning to end. Look, I really enjoyed this book for no other reason than it was enjoyable. We follow a family of, what I can only call Peaky Blinders but not so British, as they dominate their...turf? We also see so many generations from this family which means time zooms ahead and things constantly change to keep you engaged. The chapters are short which also helped me stay excited for what was to come. Once he's proved he has the brains to run their clubs in Marbella, he is given what he's always wanted. It's the beginning of a reign of terror that knows no bounds.

I have read many gangland books inc all of the authors previous but got to say this for me was probably the grittiest, hard hitting and genuinely brutal one yet

There are trigger points that deal with chid abuse, sexual and physical, rape, violence towards women, drug taking and if you flinch at the C word be prepared to flinch a lot When the bodies of missing schoolgirls start turning up, former DCI Kate Burrows is dragged out of retirement. As her mother had said, the children in this family were cursed, brought into the world with pain and without mercy.’ Got to mention on a lighter note the Mother from hell,Phyllis,is a classic written character, I couldn’t stand her ( the love to hate was strong ) and as for Judy, well you will be shouting at the book about her….
