This book was a one-sitting read. It is a gripping story that soon captured my attention and once started I couldn't leave it for a moment. There is a real dangerous edge to this story and it made for an exciting read. There are some brutal scenes and the author creates such a suspenseful and edge of your seat read.

Synopsis

Donnie Black. Charming, successful... and utterly terrifying, he rules the Glasgow underworld with an iron fist. Nothing - or no one - will stop him and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty to grow his fortune.

Layla Black. She's been married to Donnie for twenty years, enjoying the lavish world he has worked hard to create. But behind the perfect image Layla is crumbling, numbing her pain with alcohol. But Layla doesn't know the secrets Donnie keeps - and the truth will send her spiralling.

Louise Bellshaw. She's young, beautiful and innocent. She's charmed by Donnie's sweet words, and believes she's found true love. But Louise doesn't know her dream man has plans that will turn her life into a nightmare.

As the three collide, no one can predict how family ties will turn to bloodshed. Because you'll do anything for the ones you love, won't you?

A dark, twisty and totally gripping thriller set in the heart of Glasgow gangland - fans of Mandasue Heller and Kimberley Chambers won't be able to put this down.

Reviews

Kane expertly draws us into this dark story and catapults the reader into a world of loyalty, betrayal, violence, secrets and lies. One minute it was emotional, and the next it gave me chills. There’s so many shocking twists I was on the edge of my seat wondering how it would play out! The final chapters were wow – what an ending to the tense, suspense filled ride we are taken on!
Goodreads reviewer - D
If you love dark, twisted, and thrilling gangland crime books that aren't scared of bringing very hard-hitting storylines, I definitely recommend this book.
