This second book did not disappoint. The story telling was amazing. Plus the characters growth was showing. Excellent gangland crime genre book. Will definitely be looking out for the next one

Book 2 in a series I fell in love with from the very first page. It was great to see some of the characters again and meanwhile being able to follow how the young ones are being trained to follow in the footsteps of their uncles, fathers, grandfathers.

Gangland crime thrillers often have very short titles. I think that is very fetting and I guess it refers to the often very short fuses the characters have. The often only need one, in their opinion, wrong word or glance and they explode. In the beginning it might only be an explosion of words, but almost always it results in fights.

The characters believe in what is theirs should remain theirs and respect is very important. Some though try to get their hands on a piece of the pie too or they think they can outsmart the families. Needless to say, I suppose, it always ends in mayhem. 

I love the hard exterior and they do have a strong sense of honor, but don't don't their family or you will find yourself in deep sh... Underneath their armor of steel, is a big heart hidden even though you might find this hard to believe.

This author knows ho to create the style of gangland crime I adore. 5 big shiny stars for this book.

Thank you

This is Book 2 in ‘The Carters,New Generation’ series and can be read as a stand alone but obvs there is a big history that goes before this book with the characters etc

The book focus on Tommy Jnr and basically what happens when he is set up by someone,someone who should know better but greed has overcome his better judgement,Tommy and his girlfriend who is expecting their child have no idea what is about to happen………we follow Tommy as it happens and he starts to have to pay for something he hasn’t dome and then when it is time for revenge and retribution who pays and why ( and how!! )

As always with this authors books it is a brutally honest and raw look at the lives of gangland families and as regulars of this and previous series’ will know no one but no one messes with the Carters,more fool them if they do

It is tense and exciting and as ever a good thrilling ride and the title of the book is exactly right

Roll on Book 3
