3.0

The thing with Martina Cole is, you know what your getting - gangsters, violence, swearing, predictable characters. I think I may have read Dangerous Lady in the past, but not 100% sure. This however does stand fairly well on its own, there are a lot of characters thrown at you fairly early on though, so reading the previous book may have helped get those in order quicker! It does what any Cole book does though, plenty of twists and turns, but repetitive at times, but a fairly quick read for such a big book.

"No gangster is ever happy when they're at peace"

And boom!! The plot gets heated.

Trust me when I say it's an AMAZING sequel to *Dangerous Lady*. Loved every single second reading this thriller. It stands out from a regular gangster plot, gives depth of emotions to the storyline. The ideology of not bringing business inside family was experimented deeper and clearer with beautiful vision.

Each characters from prequel were neatly brought back with same attitude. I'm saying it again, Maura Ryan is a woman you need ❤️The characters will make you believe they are who they are and you travel along with them through all threatenings and killings on the streets of developing East End London. "Revenge is the best dish served cold", damn right it is! Unexpected twists and turns which will drag you to the edge of the seat. The ending is a bolt from the blue, gives you the clear vision of how it has to be done if ended up in such (character's) way.

Best gangster plot to fall in love with
