Ever since being adopted as babies, twins Sinead and Orla have been the only family they've ever known. But as adults, their lives have taken different paths. Orla's got the big house in Glasgow, the supportive husband, and teenage daughter, Molly Rose, while Sinead's struggle with drugs and alcohol has taken her to some very dark places. But all of that changes when Sinead receives a call from the woman who gave them up at birth. Their mother, Janey, is back in their lives. But she's far from what they expected, and when the sibling discover that their mum is the head of a dangerous gangland firm, their lives are turned upside down.

This is a follow-on story from the previous book, Janey. I was pulled into this story from the first page. Janey is reunited with the twin daughters she gave up as babies. Molly Rose, Janey's granddaughter, goes missing, and there's someone from Janey's past that Janey has a score to settle with. Although Sinead and Orla are twins, they are exact opposites of each other, ;ike chalk and cheese.

This is a rollercoaster read that's filled with twists and suspense. The characters are well-developed strong women and most of them are likeable. The plot centers around Molly Rose's disappearance. I do recommend that you read Jane y first, as it features the Halahan family.

W.O.W i really enjoyed this book, so happy to see janey back. ..... it was brilliant, i couldnt put it down....
Twins orla and sinead are like chalk and cheese, sinead has had a rough life in care then on the streets becoming a drug addict. Orla had a great childhood with her foster parents, she is married with a teenage daughter, and owns 3 early learning businesses.

When orlas daughter molly rose is kidnapped by janeys step brotger (but not) charlie.. janey steps in, charlie wants janey will she give him what he wants???? Can the family put their differences aside????
There are lots of twists in this book, and also I DIDNT SEE THAT COMING MOMENTS. This is a fantastic read ,give it a go you wont be disappointed.....

A good twisty Glasgow Thriller.
Sinead and Orla had a hard upbringing in Foster care now at thirty eight years old are still taking different paths in life.
I loved everything about this story will send chills through your body, who can you trust if not your twin? Absolutely Fabulous

I read this as a standalone and it's not the kind of book I usually go for. I'm not into the whole gangland London type vibes but I was surprised to say, I really enjoyed this. I loved the song female characters and how well brought to life they were. There were some amazing twists and the whole book, the plot was constantly moving forward and I just couldn't put it down. I'll definitely be checking out the 1st book now

I enjoyed this book, it can be read as a stand alone but I would recommend reading "Janey" the first book to feature the Hallahan family. The well written book moves along at a fast pace and is not lacking in action or suspense. The plotting centres around kidnapping, blackmail and abuse but I loved the characterisation, especially young Molly, It is very believable and there are plenty interesting, strong female characters. The Glasgow setting definitely added to the realism! I really loved the ending, leaving me eagerly waiting for a follow up. If you like gangster books, this is one for you. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

This book was just ok to me. I wanted to like it more but it just didn't hit that well for me. None of the characters were likable.

This is the second Scottish gangland thriller in this series, following on from Janey. I definitely think you should read the first book to appreciate the ongoing story.
A figure from Janey’s past has come back for revenge and is bringing her family into it which is a seriously bad move…
We now have Janey’s daughters and grand daughter bought into the mix and all are good quality female protagonists.
I found Janey a great main character in the first book and again the female roles of Orla, Sinead, and Millie-Rose in this book were first class.
The ending sets up for a third book in the Hallahan Family series.
Alex Kane is a great author, gritty gangland books set in a Scottish background with great stories and depth.

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

I really enjoyed Two Sisters. It is a great follow on from the previous book Janey. The authors writing is good and engaging and I was drawn into the story right from the start. Janey is reunited with her daughters in the worst circumstances when her granddaughter goes missing and someone from Janey's past has a score to settle with her. The characters are mostly likeable, there was one I hated with a passion and I couldn't wait for them to be found out. The plot line is good and kept me guessing what would happen next, and the story is fairly fast paced. I really liked getting to know more about Janeys younger years and love how the story moved from past to present times with ease. The last quarter of the book is a very tense and thrilling read with a very unexpected ending that sets up the next book nicely, and I'll definitely want to read it! If you enjoy gangland crime books then this is for you and I'd recommend it.

4 stars

This is brilliant!!! I didn’t know it was book 2 in a series but it was very easy to catch up with the plot . I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the ending was mind blowing

I used to be a big fan of this genre (Martina Cole et al) but haven't read one for years.
Enjoyed this even more than I thought I would.
Maybe because it is set outside of London or because it is an organised crime setting but mixed with a decent murder thriller that I thought it was a step above.
Good, strong characters and a well paced plot.
Great holiday reading.

Having not read the first book 'Janey', I did wonder whether or not I may have missed important back story details but this book is fine to read as a stand alone. The story focuses on twin sisters who are oh so different. Orla and Sinead have led very different lives, Orla extremely successful in a business she has worked hard for and Sinead sadly has led the life as a drug addict. How do two sisters become so different and will they be able to salvage any sort of relationship? They were given up for adoption by their mother Janey when they were very small and no mother does this unless there are extreme circumstances that have led them to leave their own flesh and blood behind, as the book progresses we will learn why this separation occurred. Orla's daughter Molly Rose, features heavily in the book and has a huge falling out with her mother but maybe the outcome and resolution of this will bring more than this mother and daughter back together.

This is a very enjoyable book and I really felt like I really got to know the characters and quickly became wrapped up in their world, a great way to spend an afternoon. Once again another great book by Alex Kane, I have since now purchased 'Janey' as I want to see where this story really began from. Good plot that moves a long at a fast pace and a very satisfying ending. Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an advanced copy of the book, all opinions are my own.

Didn’t know there was an earlier book, but it didn’t matter, this one stands well by itself. Very strong female characters drive the story as separated twin sisters get back in their birth mother’s life as a result of outside forces seeking revenge for perceived harmful acts. Kidnappings, murders, rape, trafficking, drug abuse are part of the story, but appropriately used.

Wow! This is a one sitting roller coaster read! Lots of twists and turns, it kept me guessing! Loved it.

Loved this book! Continuing with the Janey Hallaghan series, this story concentrates on the twin daughters she had adopted and their unconventional reunion! Can't wait for the next instalment.

I don’t usually read books in this genre but I did enjoy it. Set in Glasgow it follows the daughters of Janey Halloran , showing how different upbringing impacts their lives. It is a roller coaster ride with a shocking twist at the end.

But Orla didn’t like it at all
And she broke it up
I had an ARC

Really enjoyed reading this book. Set mainly in Glasgow but with some N.Ireland references about a family with criminal connections.

Well Well Well.... Alex Kane does it again.
What a superb read this turned out to be. Exciting and fresh, I enjoyed this book from the get go. Brilliant characters and a twist I didn't see coming at all. What a gripping read.
Thoroughly enjoyable. I read this in one day, I really couldn't put it down once started. Twins Sinead and Orla live very different lives. They are total opposites. They don't have contact with their birth mother and each have a reason not to want or to want have contact.
This all changes when a family member is found in trouble. the paths of these individuals has no choice but to cross. But will this be a help or a hindrance to the families involved.
I am mindful of saying too much on this story, its one of those you want to say OMG - this happened and this, but don't want to spoil it for the readers.
What I will say is My goodness, I need more and more from this author, I could have read this on and on. It's left with what I can only say it a cliff-hanger and there really has to be a follow on.
Amazing Writing Alex Kane, please don't leave it too long for the next one.

Just love Alex Kane books they just get better and better each time. I can't wait for the next book hope it's as good as this one .

Firstly thank you Netgalley for this ARC

Another brilliant book by this author and so many twists and turns
