This is a paradoxical review as I'm not a fan of gangland thriller but somehow (don't ask me why) I accepted to join a blog tour for a gangland thriller.
As I was involved in the blogtour I read this book and - WOW - it's excellent.
If you are new to this genre, like me, you need to adopt a different mind-frame as the bad guys are not the villain and you cannot help rooting for them. It's a matter of point of view and once I got the right one I couldn't put this book down.
It's gritty, gripping and fast paced, an exciting story full of twists and turns. There's plenty of secrets, betrayal, people that can or can't be what you think.
It's a fight for power and somebody is going to win, for the moment, or lose. Everything can change.
Luke and George are my favorite characters as they ruthless but they also show some more human side. The author excels at character development and all the characters are fleshed out. Please not there's plenty of them.
There's a lot about the importance of family and how important it is.
There's lot going on as someone is attacking the family and someone could be betraying them.
Will I read other books in this series: yes as I want to know what will happen and this was an exciting read.
Highly recommended.
