The book feels a little repetitive with similar phrases and descriptions being used throughout. Didn’t feel the massive urge to keep reading

Martina Cole is one of my favourite authors! Her book ‘Two Women’ is one of my all time favourite books. Now, I don’t know if this is because I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump, but No Mercy didn’t really measure up :( it was still a fantastic book with a great ending, but I didn’t feel as compelled to keep reading as I did with Two Women, unfortunately.

I love MC but as the years roll on her books don’t quite do it for me like they used to. Am on holiday, so this was perfect beach reading but you just can beat her earlier books such as Dangerous Lady and The Take. I might read one of them once I am back home….

Overall, I enjoyed, but not my favourite of her writing!

 honestly normally really enjoy a Martina Cole but this was just lacking that bite you normally get. It was nowhere near as brutal as you expect. Something was definitely off for me with this one. Saying that I still finished it so something kept me reading.

My first and possibly last Martina Cole book. Predictable ending and new characters at the beginning of practically every chapter. So far fetched it was laughable
