Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I'm always excited to read a Kerry Kaya book, and this one was no exception. The second book in this series didn't disappoint. This author is quickly becoming the Princess of Gangland crime.

WoW.......All of Kerry's books I have read have been a great read and her latest one Retribution by Kerry Kaya was another excellent read and Yes The Carters are back! This is the 2nd book of the Carters: Next Generation and it was excellent.

Tommy Jr is one of the youngest members of the Carter family, and he dreams and has plans for one day step into his Uncle Jonny’s shoes as head of the family. But at the moment he has been set up for a crime that he did not commit. His lovely young girlfriend, Aimee, is pregnant and will be going through her pregnancy on her own!.
When, Tommy gets released from prison, and all he wants to do is find the person/s who stitched him up and make them pay for their actions.

WoW......Superb read. I loved it

This book can be read as a stand alone but, I do recommend you go back and read all these books about The Carters, they are 5 star read.

Big thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for my ARC.

My turn on the Book Blog Tour. This is the 2nd book in the Carters: Next generation book series. Having read all of The Carters series previously, these next books smoothly carry on the story, of the younger people of the family. These two series tie in seamlessly and these series are one of my favo!! I love seeing some of the older characters entwining with members of the family.
I will never NOT read any of Kerry Kaya’s books. I love them!!

A really good second instalment in the Carter/johnson clan series. Took me a while to get my head around the family tree and how everyone is related but that is my only critique of the book. A great read and will be interesting how the next instalment will play out. Roomy junior is a character to watch and fear.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an arc in exchange for an honest review

The second book in The Carters: Next Generation Series. Retribution is as addictive a read as Downfall was! I have read every book Kerry Kaya has written, and boy, does she know how to write a brilliant gangland genre book.

I would say you could read this as a standalone, but why would you? To miss out on Downfall would be to miss another fabulous read and give you the full picture of the characters involved in this series.

I was gripped from the start with Retribution and made it my mission to read this in one day. Well, that's not true, really. Kerry Kaya made it my mission! As always, she sucked me right in, and I was back with the Carters. Tommy Jr. is the youngest member of the family, and when his girlfriend tells him she is pregnant, he decides he is going to be the best dad ever. The only problem is that certain other people are planning to derail his life and not in a good way!

Retribution is packed full of twists and turns. A gangland thriller that kept me turning those pages. I am always excited when Kerry Kaya releases another book. I easily get invested in her characters, too. She can make them so realistic that I feel they jump off the page. They have me so engrossed in their lives that I forget about my own for a while.

If you like gritty gangland thrillers and haven't read Kerry Kaya, you are missing out. She is up there with Kimberley Chambers and Mandasue Heller for me, every time!
Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the gifted widget to write my honest review for the blog tour.

This is the second of the Carters next generation series and what an explosive story. Loved the plot and the characters. Another fantastic gangland thriller. Can’t wait for the next one.

Retribution is the second book in The Carters (Next Generation) series . It can be read as a standalone but personally I recommend reading the first book also. Right from the very start this book had me gripped and I just knew I would struggle to put it down. It’s a gripping and tense gangland crime thriller. Kerry Kaya is one of my favourite authors of this genre and once I start one of her books I am so caught up in the story that I forget about everything else around me as I’m just so engrossed in the story. This was certainly the case with Retribution.

I absolutely loved this book! The second instalment in the Carter's- Next Generation series and what a cracker! Great to see the story set around the younger family members as they evolve into their characters. Can't wait for the next one!

Retribution is the explosive second book in The Carters series. It can read as a standalone, but as with all gangland reads there's a lot of backstory so you'll be missing out.

I found it to be a fast paced read that had me gripped from the opening paragraphs. It's gritty, tension fueled and it was great to catch up with the Carters and the goings on at the Cross Keys public house.

An enjoyable and highly entertaining read based on loyalties, lies and revenge.

The Carters Next Generation Series, #2

I have not read the first book in this series, but it did read well as a standalone, but I would have preferred to have read them in order. We follow Tommy jr who had been set up for a crime that he did not commit. His girlfriend, Aimee, is pregnant. When Tommy gets released from prison, he wants to find the person who stitched him up and make them pay for their actions.

The moment I started reading this book, I was hooked. This is a story of revenge that's being dished out by a family you wouldn't want to mess with. The characters are well-developed, it's tense, gripping and well-written. This is a really good gangland crime story.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #BoldwoodBooks and the author #KerryKaya for my ARC of #Retribution in eschange for an honest review.

Another gripping and gritty read from one of the best gangland authors. This book has a palpable tension that keeps the pages turning…..simply brilliant… I had to finish this marvelous thriller in one sitting! Taut and incredibly suspenseful, every moment is perfectly crafted to keep me wanting more.!

This is book 2 in The Carter's: Next Generation series and while it can be read as a standalone I recommend reading book 1 first to get a better idea of the background. The story follows Tommy Jr who is set up for a crime that he didn't commit and with his girlfriend being pregnant he has a lot going on. It was a exciting and adventurous tale filled with so much revenge. The gangland life is prominent and one thing you will learn is to never ever mess with the Carter's. I am already wondering what will happen next!

Another brilliant book from Kerry Kaya and book two in the new series. Tommy Jr is the main focus and although he is the youngest member of the family he is determined to step up when girlfriend Aimee announces that she’s pregnant. However Aimee’s dad Kevin Fox thinks that the Carter family owe him and when he is humiliated by them he sets out for revenge. Is taking on the Carter family a good idea though…… This is gritty gangland at its best and exactly what you expect from the author. Be prepared to be totally gripped from the first page that leaves nothing to the imagination when it comes to the violence, how the very believable characters are feeling but also the strong family connections. Can’t wait for book three to find out what’s next for the Carter’s! Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the ARC.

This is the 2nd book in the new generation of cater books.
A absolute fantastic gangland book, although you can read this as a standalone, I prefer to read the 1st book so I can get to know the family.

Can’t wait for the next book, a fantastic gritty gangland thriller

Retribution by Kerry kara is the 2nd book in ‘The Carters next generation series. But you can read it as a standalone as I have not read the first book.

But certain people are not happy of the couples forth coming events and Tommy gets stitched up and ends up in Prison.
His time in prison is a life changing one and when with help from his family he is released from jail. He wants to seek retribution to the person who did him wrong.
Wow the author yet again writes another fabulous gritty gangland drama that you get sucked in from the first page. It is a tense thriller that keeps you engages throughout. I loved the characters in this story and can’t wait to read more of this series. 5 stars from me.a
