This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter and #NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview and review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

Fantastic, gripping, one not to be missed.

Kim guessing this is the second book in this series as there were many references to previous plot lines and characters. Due to this I didn’t really engage with the story as I felt I had missed vital parts of the history between the characters.

Quite an enjoyable book to read and I've not read any of the previous series, so definitely readable as a standalone. Good characters and a decent storyline that kept you gripped enough as you read on.

Gangs i Liverpool. Cross country drug dealing. Theft from the Carters - the top crime gang in Liverpool. Retribution will be made in the most horrific, gruesome way.
Who will rule the streets at the end?

Payback town is the 7th book in the series, and it seems to get better and better.
The story continues with Liverpool mobsters the Carter family. Grace and Michael decided to take a back seat in the family business and move to Spain. Their son Jake has now taken over the reins. But there are other people out there that want to take revenge and knock the Carters of the top spot in the gangster world. So, when a shipment from Scotland seems to go missing the family need to know how they found out when it was being delivered and what they must gain? Loyalty is tested.
When one of their own is murdered and another framed for it. The family need to find the real killer before it’s too late.
Thank you, Harper Collins, One more Chapter for a copy Payback Time. This is another unputdownable, action packed thriller that I read in one day. This has a great storyline and characters. I couldn’t get enough of it. Loved it. 5 stars from me.

I honestly missed Grace and Michael, but the rest of the family (and John) are all here. This is a great series and I enjoyed this recent instalment. Spoiler alert…. So good to see Leigh and John back together. Can hardly wait for the next one.

My first introduction to this Bad Blood series and how I wish I had caught from the beginning. Gritty is a common description and certainly applies here when the inside emotions of the Carter clan are exposed within a revenge plot that has all the hall marks of major city crime feuds, corruption and brutality. It manages to generate a sympathy to what is essentially a family based criminal gang who must unite to uncover who is pulling the strings and daring to take them on. Loved it and grateful for the ARC that introduced me to the Carter Cartel.

The Carter's have returned, doing what they do best! I really enjoy this gangster series and the characters within and it just keeps improving. There is a score to settle with the Carters and we find Danny in serious trouble in this fast paced and well written chapter. The characterisation is well developed and the plot keeps you on the edge and sucks you right into the pages. Jazz is just one sassy lady! I highly recommend this if you enjoy gangster series. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

Description
The next instalment in the addictive and gripping Bad Blood crime series from queen of gangland, Caz Finlay, is available to pre-order now
‘If you like Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers you will LOVE [Caz Finlay]’ Reader Review
If you challenge the Carters, you must be prepared to fight.
Jake Carter is having trouble with a rival gang, and it’s clear he’s underestimated their power. But no son of the infamous Grace Carter is going to let someone else run the streets of Liverpool.
Then his right-hand man Danny Alexander is arrested for murder and remanded in custody. The cartel know he’s innocent but the evidence is overwhelmingly against him. The Carters alliance with DI Leigh Moss has always been fragile but it’s time to put aside their differences if they want to find the real killer.
As a mole is found in the firm and tensions begin to rise, the Carters must stand together if they want to keep control. It’s time for payback, and no one is safe…
Readers love Caz Finlay

Yet another fantastic read from Caz Finlay. Couldn't put this book down I read in 2 days just love her books . Absolutely a must read

Another fantastically brilliant book in one of my favourite series to date. These books in my opinion just keep getting better and I really feel like I know the characters personally. I really love the bad ass women characters in this series that can hold their own just as much as the men. Whenever I pick up one of these books I completely lose myself in it and I literally can not put it down. A very easy five stars if not more!

Well what can I say Caz Finlay you have done it again Awesome read I was gripped from the first chapter found it hard to put the book down , the story lines were epic love the characters seriously cannot wait for the next carter adventures I will never be bored reading your books way to go fabulous author and cannot recommend enough you will enjoy this ladies books if I could I would give 10 star rating

Great continuation of the series. Easy fast paced reading. Only down side is that the kids have taken over and Michael and Grace are in Spain.
Perhaps they will make a return in the next one.

I received an ARC of, Payback Time, by Caz Finlay. This book had to many swear words in it. I could not get into it while trying to ignore all the "f" words.

With Grace and Michael in Spain, it's now time for the next generation to take the business reigns.
Jake Conlan, Grace Carter's son is now the new head and Conner Carter, Jake's stepbrother is his new business partner but nothing ever changes and others are out for revenge and want to rule the streets.

Payback Time is another brilliant addition to this fabulous series which is fast paced, action packed and a gripping, white knuckle ride.

Absolutely loved it and comes highly recommended.

Many thanks to Netgalley and One More Chapter for a copy for my honest review.

Book 7 of the Carter family already! now that grace and Michael have moved to Spain, Jazz has stepped up to run the business. A family dinner is interrupted by Danny and Stacey’s mum, Glenda. Truths come out and Luke’s part in it causes a rift. When Danny’s set up and remanded in prison Jake will not stop to free him.
This was fantastic, like all of these books, strong female leads and powerful men but this was a step up and although Grace and Michael were not featured it shows how far this series has come and evolved for the next generation of Carters!
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

life is good for the Carter's Grace and Michael have took a backseat and gone to spain. Jake and Danny are happy his stepbrother Conner s wife Jazz is helping to run the business. but someone wants to bring there empire down and take if for there own. there shipment gets hijacked and thats just the start of it. they wont stop at nothing. Loyalty s are tested and who can you actually trust in your crew. lies decite and murder but thats just another work day for this family so very gripping to the end i love this authors books and i so recommend every book in this series

Another brilliant book in the Bad Blood Series. When I hear that there is a new Caz Finlay book, I just can't get my hands on it quickly enough.
This one is yet another page turner, but wow, the ending & the epilogue.... safe to say I can not wait for the next.

The family seem to be expecting something big!

Gritty & gripping as!!

Utterly fantastic as per! Great to be back with the Carters and their extended family, but no Grace and Michael in this one as the next generation are tested on their abilities to maintain the family's pole position. Brilliant storyline and the characters really come into their own. Cannot wait for the next instalment!

*4.5 stars*

The Carter’s are back! This Liverpool based gangland family are not ones to cross, but for those foolish enough to do so, it will be, (as the title of the book suggests) “Payback Time”!

Heads of the family, Grace and Michael, have headed to Spain in order to set up a new business, so it’s left to Grace’s son Jake and Michael’s son Connor to take over the reins.

When a rival gang decide to try and take over the Carter’s empire by stealing a large shipment of their drugs, all hell breaks loose.

There’s also extreme danger from another source, involving Connor’s wife Jazz (who incidentally takes a more prominent roll in the business this time around) and one which she takes to really well.

Although I missed Grace and Michael, it was, nevertheless, another gripping read from Caz Finlay!
