Another fabulous read from Alex Kane! Seriously fast paced and gritty from the very start. Great characters with some real bad eggs causing problems. Hope we don't have to wait too long for the next one!

Janey is not a woman to be messed with but then neither is her employee Danny McInroy, he hates women and hates having Janey as his boss and sets his sites on bringing down her empire.

Wow what a gripping page turner, Danny is an utterly disgusting human being, but I was so engrossed I couldn't put this one down.

I am so delighted to read in the acknowledgements that Alex is now a full time writer, very well deserved and I cannot wait to get stuck into more.

I have read all of Alex Kanes books and can honestly say once you pick one up it's really hard to put down until you get to the end.. I certainly had a couple of really late nights till I got this read. Absolute brilliant read, I was gripped from the 1st page and didn't want it to end.

Loads of action in it leading to an ending you certainly can't predict, lots of twists and turns with amazing believable characters.

I loved it, definitely worth the 5 stars, would of gave more if I was able to.

I was thrilled to read the latest release from one of my favourite authors in this genre. I wasn't disappointed! Kane created a gripping gangland story that kept me up way past my bedtime.

Janey, the protagonist, is a likeable character whose sensitive side is portrayed without diminishing her strength. Kane's creation of strong female characters is seamless and impressive. While I briefly felt sympathetic toward Danny in the first few chapters, Kane's ability to make readers detest certain characters is a true talent.

It took me a few chapters to understand who was who and what was happening, but once I did, I was fully invested. The brief, punchy chapters made for a captivating and easy read.

Although it's not my all-time favourite from this author, I would still give it a well-deserved five-star rating.

I loved Janey so much , such a fierce but likeable character .
Only down fall is that I have to wait a while for next book.
Alex kane should be up there with the top authors as her books are phenomenal .
Please write more.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for this eARC.

This is a well written, gritty gangland thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed. Alex Kane certainly knows how to connect with her readers through her writing and has really excelled here, in my opinion. I've devoured this book in just over a day, whenever I had any free time I would pick my kindle up again and continue reading, it was that good. I thought the book started off well and I was drawn in straightaway and the more I read the more I became invested in the characters and the story. As always, there are characters I loathed and hated and I think the author has definitely done their job making me feel this way. There are lots of threads here, and they all begin to slowly come together beautifully towards the end, leading to an expected ending. If you're a fan of gangland, crime books I'd recommend this and don't think you'll be disappointed.

Janey
An utterly addictive, page-turning and gritty thriller
by Alex Kane

Another superb read from this very talented author. Alex Kane knows what her readers want and delivers each and every time.

A gangland thriller that will have you gripped from the first page. I didn't want to put this book down and as I got near the end, i didn't want it to finish.
It's time for Janey to take over the family business. A business that for so long has been a male orientated world. Well not any more, Janey will prove she is a force to be reckoned with. Don't mistake her for some weak woman as that isn't what she is. She is strong and fierce and will put any man in his place if needed.

Superb storong Characters with a gripping story line, this book will have you hooked from the start.

What a superb read.

Thanks to boldwood books and netgalley for this arc. I was blown away by this book, also nice to see strong women taking the lead. When janey hallahan takes over her fathers criminal empire after his death, there are things she isnt happy with, the main one Danny Mcinroy who despises women and certainly doesnt want to take orders from his new boss. As danny tries to take his new boss down, but is she 1 step ahead of him?. When a young women is beaten so badly by danny mcinroys hands, she escapes with her life and moves away so he wont finish the job., her best friend martin wants to destroy him, the whilst attending his nightclub 1 night, he is abducted. When rory is tasked with killing martin, he cant do it, what does he do? Even though janey is on the wrong side of the law, there are some things she will not tolerate, what are they? Nice to read a gangland boss with a softer side . Loved this book, couldnt put it down, twists and turns, hope janey will feature in more books?
