A Mother's Revenge, written by Alex Kane, is a fast-paced gangland thriller set in Glasgow. It is a gripping read from start to finish. Janey is one of the standout characters, maybe a formidable gangland boss, but her strong moral compass and deep care for those she loves make her relatable and compelling. The novel is packed with vivid characters, intense scenes, and a high-stakes standoff culminating in a dramatic, must-read.
The novel is an excellent read, filled with suspense, intrigue, action, and mystery. With its gripping 'whodunit' plot and a series of unexpected twists that keep you guessing, the story keeps you hooked from beginning to end. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an engaging and thrilling read!
How far would you go to protect your family and as a mother how far is far enough? This is the question in the next wonderful book in this series.
Cheryl is happily married to Leo and together they have a son Dean. But soon Cheryl and Leo will discover that Dean has been murdered and all hell is about to break loose. Glasgow’s underworld crime scene is brutal, and Cheryl is horrified to discover it is Leo that introduced Dean to this life. Cheryl will now meet up with Janey Hallahan, an extremely tough woman who reins over the gangland wars and is not someone you go up against unless you have very strong reasons. Cheryl has, and she is after revenge.
Gritty and expertly crafted, this is one of those books that you pick up and next thing you know you have read the whole book. The pacing is fast and the plot full of wonderful characters who will keep you on the edge with enough twists a plenty presented to you.
If you have not read this series to I highly recommend it, I do not think you will be disappointed.
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an advanced copy of the book, all opinions expressed are my own.
This is the second book I have read in this series and although I don’t normally read gangland mysteries I have enjoyed both of them. They are brutal and raw and have some truly horrible characters in them. They show all of human behaviour good, bad and in between. Thoroughly entertaining and eye opening. Thanks to Net galley for opportunity to review
Wow what another fantastic read from Alex Kane just can't get enough of her books. This was a book I couldn't put down absolutely brilliant book.
A explosive book for any gangland crime fan. The characters were amazing. The storyline was epic it had so many twists and turns.
The day came was that Dean was murdered his body was found with a bullet in his head
It was a sanity that she was suffering a grieving mother her name was called Cheryl
It was a gangland murder
I had an ARC
This is the easiest five star A mother revenge is a hard hitting subject for sure human trafficking paedophilia, it has it all violence aswell.
Alex kane writes the subject very well janey is back with a vengeance she is a great character as is her granddaughter another badass.
All the characters are sublime even the bad guys. It is hard hitting a real roller coaster of a book. Hope there are another janey book in the future.
Explosive from start to finish. Didn’t expect anything else from the queen of gangland thrillers. Janey, despite being a hardened crime boss, will do anything to protect her family from a sex trafficking ring operating within her city. A real page turner, very hard to put down. Hopefully this isn’t the last of the Hallahan series.
Another page turning read in this pacy gangland thriller series set in Glasgow that is totally engaging from the beginning till the end.
Janey is one of my favourite characters,yes shes a gangland boss, but she still knows what's right and what's wrong, and at heart, she's like any other woman looking out for the people she loves.
It is filled with colourful characters and brutal scenes with a tense standoff, which leads to a dramatic ending to this not to be missed series.
This would make a brilliant TV series.
Thanks to Netgalley and Hera Books for the ARC.

A mother will stop at nothing to protect her family! Cheryl Davidson was happy with husband Leo, watching her beloved son, Dean, grow into a handsome young man, dreaming of the paths his life would take, the grandchildren he would bring home. Until the day that Dean was murdered, his body dumped in an isolated scrapyard with a bullet in his head, and Cheryl’s world exploded! Great book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and a few twists and turns. The story was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book!
