(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

Forced to move away from his dad in Aberdeen and into a run-down Glasgow council estate, Logan thinks he's pretty lucky to have made any friends—let alone Baz and the boys. Baz might have a bit of reputation and be a bit mouthy, but he's the kind of friend who'll stick up for you and make life interesting—or should that be “dangerous”?
When Logan, Baz, and the boys get caught up a local turf war, Baz is the first to fight back. However, the aftermath leads Logan and his friends deeper into a world of real-life gangs, threats, and lethal revenge. And when the worst happens, Baz disappears, leaving Logan holding the bag. Has Baz really deserted him?

This was a pretty interesting - but not quite engaging - young adult novel about the consequences of our actions. There is plenty of action and thrills along the way.

I would have really enjoyed this more if the author had been able to grab me from the very start but I felt like the first half of the book was just written as set-up for the ending. While that is okay, I really didn't get invested in the characters or the plot. So, by the time we got to the end, I was a little lukewarm with my feelings towards the story as a whole.

Most definitely not the worst book I have ever read...will keep an eye out for more by this author.
