I couldn't leave this down, I stayed up late and woke up early to finish it. As usual Emma has written a story that keeps you guessing to the end and wanting more when finished. Hopefully it won't be long before book five is written. I would like to thank the publishers and netgalley for letting me have the book to review and the opinions expressed are entirely my own views and are completely unbiased.

OMG love love love this series, got so excited when I saw that Fierce Girls was out!!! Anna and Freddie are still reeling from the last episode (won't delve any further into it for fear of ruining something for someone looking to start this from the beginning with Runaway Girl!!) and Tanya is still in a coma since being shot and left for dead, her estranged mother, Rosie turning up at the hospital to "begin again", the Mafia on the trail of the disappearance of Frankie and determined to shed blood and get pay back..... so much going on in this book, I just couldn't put it down, I love Anna and Freddie and just hoping Anna can get past her demons from the fall out with Freddie's brother and losing the baby. We also get more insight into Tanya, unlucky in love and could her luck finally change and she now has a caring mother in her life, its what she always wanted, a mother that would be proud of her and after everything she has been through, she more than deserves it.

As is the norm, you are on tenterhooks the whole time through this read, full of twists and turns, dark and gruesome in places but what you would expect when dealing with the underworld, drugs, prostitution, mafia etc. I cannot praise this book or this series enough, roll on the next one! Thanks Emma Tallon, you've really hit the nail on the head with this series for me.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

I love this whole series from Emma Tallon, it just keeps getting better and better. I love the characters who are very likeable and there is the usual twists and turns as is usual from Emma's writing. it can be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading the series in order so you can get all the background on the main characters. If you are a fan of Martina Cole and Jessie Keane then you will love this series/author.

Fierce Girl is my first read by Emma Fallon. It's a shame I haven't already been reading this series because it's wholly engaging and immersive. The time flew by while I was glued to the pages. It's dramatic, thrilling and sharply written. These characters are sympathetic but not entirely likable. They are complex and definitely flawed. This story is a wild ride with twists at every turn. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I will go back and read the previous books in the series. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

An amazing book,
Very well written and i couldn't put it down, read in like 5 hours
Can't wait for next instalment

this book should come with a warning this author just gets better and better what a story what a book I so love this series I so love the Characters in this book Anna Freddie and Tanya and Paul this book is very twisty I think to the others this author has done a blinder of I book I so recommend and her other books in this series so cant wait for next book

Fierce Girl – Emma Tallon

I know I’ve said it before but honestly if you like Martina Cole, Jessie Keane or Kimberly Chambers then Emma Tallon is for you! This series has been excellent start with Runaway Girl (prev Life game) and get ready for a rollercoaster ride through the murky underworld of London gangs, drugs, girls and last but not least betrayal…

At the end of the last book we left Tanya in a coma we come back to her still in a coma with Anna visiting her every day waiting hoping that each day she would come round. Happily she does but damn does Tanya get a surprise by way of a visitor, the very last person you’ll think off. I did find myself getting a tad irritated at Tanya once or twice in the book; the only reason I could think she allowed things to go as they did was a kind of wishful thinking.

Anna and Freddie haven’t come through their troubles unscathed, Anna is still grieving for their lost child and the fact that she may never conceive again then she still feels guilty about killing Freddies brother Michael. Anna’s mood isn’t improved with the bloody awful atmosphere between her and Tanya. The arrival of Tanyas mother Rosie (she’s a first class biatch) who appears to be intent on driving a wedge between the girls and she’s managing to succeed. There’s trouble at the club with the ‘girls’ or rather one specific girl, which in turn leads Anna and Tanya to expand their business empire in a way they never thought they would.

As for Freddie it seems that the poop is still rolling down hill towards him. The business is suffering hits from all direction there’s a police raid causing him to lose a shipment of alcohol amongst other things, when it’s all added together he begins to think there’s got to be a rat in the organisation and he can’t have that. Enter stage left Sarah Riley private investigator extraordinaire and Freddie offers her a job checking out his closest friends and family.

Mafia boss Joe Vito comes to town determined to find Frankie his missing stooge. We already know that he’s ‘swimming with the fishies’ as the saying goes. Meeting with Joe, Freddie who obviously can’t tell them the truth has to think on his feet and feed them false information in a vain attempt to cover his own part in the disappearance. And what a solution he finds in the end, I literally gasped when I realised who, what, where and when.

It would be too easy to keep typing and to put spoilers out there so I’m going to stop now. What I would suggest is if you want to find out more either pre-order or put it on your wish list you honestly won’t regret it.


Read for an honest review. Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture

This was truly an amazing book. The storyline flowed, the characters were engaging and I could barely tear myself away from this book. Highly recommended!

I have really enjoyed this series from Emma tallon, this fourth instalment is just as good as the three before it, full of tension twists and drama. More from this author please!

Thank you for letting me review this title. Absolutely loved every minute of this book. I’m angry with myself that it too me so long to discover Emma Tallon, but I’ve made up for it by reading the whole series in the last few weeks. Can’t wait for the next instalment

After how the previous book ended in the series, I have been dying to catch back up with Tanya, Anna and Freddie and boy, I wasn’t disappointed!

If I thought things were bad enough for the three main characters in the last book, well the author takes it up another level in Fierce Girl.

Like Anna, I was very dubious at Tanya’s mother turning up after many years playing the perfect mum of which is nothing like the nasty piece of work she was when Tanya was growing up. I did enjoy getting to know more of Tanya’s background though and what sort of life she had endured as a child. I think it makes you understand more the person who she became and is today.

I had to feel so sorry for Freddie. Just as things look like they are getting back to normal he is hit in more ways than one. I have to admit, with one of his issues I couldn’t see anyway out and it had me turning those pages just to see how it was all going to end. I think I read the majority of the novel with my heart in my mouth as I was so on edge.

Fierce Girl is a truly gripping, nail biter of a read that not only gets you on the edge of your seat but keeps knocking you off it! There are some very nasty surprises in store which made for some very tense reading and whilst I was at times scared to read more as I really wasn’t sure how Anna and Freddie were going to deal with their problems, I was compelled to keep on going. A must read for fans of Martina Cole and Casey Kelleher.

Absolutely fantastic read. I read it in one sitting.
Best book of the series so far.
So many twists and turns never who you think it is.
Best book I've read this year

What a rollercoaster of a ride this book is,it is always good to follow the story of Freddie,Paul,Anna and Tanya in the world they live.Now as Anna waits for Tanya to come out of the coma she has been in since being shot and left to die by her ex-boyfriend Tom.Anna is still living with the hurt of losing the baby she was carrying and the hurt of ending Freddies brother's life.I can highly recommend Emma's book well worth 5*.
