I was first attracted to this book by the cover! But the story is a real page turner and I devoured this book in a couple of days. It is based in the London Underworld. The themes are family, but there is also drugs, clubs and living by the code. A clever ending, I will be looking for others by this author. I thoroughly recommend this title.

I did not know this was a second book in series and while reading it didn’t feel I missed something before so you can definitely read this as a stand alone novel.

The novel grabs you quietly as you read the story of Anna and Freddie. You don’t realize your are hooked as you follow their lives; Anna through her Club Anya and Freddie through his many businesses, some legit and most as a front to the darker world he runs.

The thriller side of me enjoyed the plot twists and intricacies used telling the story and the final plot twist at the end got me as I was not expecting it at all!

Looking forward to going back to read the first in this series and to the future for more of the Tyler family.

I was so excited to read this absolutely loved the first one. This book took it to another level. Was gripped from page one. Anne and Freddy are still together and have many things to overcome. Brilliant storyline but not giving any spoilers. This book is definately worth a read so try it........

'Dangerous Girl' is the second book in the fantastic gangland crime thriller series, of which 'Runaway Girl' was the first. Although this is a perfectly acceptable standalone novel, we are reintroduced to the same characters that we know and love from the series opener, so it is definitely more beneficial in terms of learning about each characters development if you read them in chronological order.

This is a gritty, dark and exciting read, just like the first. In fact, I enjoyed it even more than the first installment, and that is saying something! All of the characters are realistic and believable. I especially enjoy Freddie for his hard-man persona when dealing with business, which quickly disappears when he is around his family, and he becomes a loveable, admirable character. Here, Freddie has to find a girl who has gone missing after attending a party at his nightclub, else his girlfriend Anna will be killed. Freddie, Anna and Tanya are all well developed and intriguing people - the scene appears to have been set for at least one more book, so I look forward with keen anticipation to the next one that is published.

Perfectly paced with a flowing narrative, this is a compelling thriller. I hope I don't have long to wait to join Freddie, Anna and Tanya in their next outrageous antics and enthralling adventures!

Many thanks to Bookouture for an ARC. I was not required to post a review, and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Great read with an ending you do not see coming !

Anna and her friend, Tanya, own a nightclub business in London. Tanya is currently single, Anna had been with Freddie for 3 years. Brothers Michael & Paul and their sister,Thea, round out this mafia-type family.

A semi-ruthless business-woman, Anna is not afraid to speak up. She wants an above-board establishment that profits legally. Her only problem is that she loves Freddie immensely, as he does her. Freddie, however, runs his business in a typical mafia fashion; dirty cops, illegal goods, drugs, gambling, etc.

Now the whole family faces possibly their biggest problem to date. The top cop's daughter has been missing since she left, quite tipsy, one of Freddie's (many) clubs the past weekend. And wait until Freddie gets involved with this!

In between; Freddie is mugged, threatened, his goods narrowly escape looting, a rival gang lord acts out on him and Anna thinks that Freddie is having an affair. Anna's best friend is dating someone questionable. Also, DI Riley comes into play as does top cop, Ben Hargreaves, and his daughter, Katherine.


This story is both exciting and suspenseful, if not a bit humorous. GREAT READ! Recommend !


Many thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a quick, suspenseful read!

4 Dangerous Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is the second book in this thriller with a mobster twist... I picked up the first book not knowing it was all about the gritty underbelly of London but... WOW what a surprise, I absolutely loved it! And this book was even better! It was these fabulous characters that drew me in and the action packed plot that kept me entertained...

Freddy who so reminds me of Sonny Corinthos of General Hospital... he is that strong, hot, lovable, bad guy... The perfect guy if it weren’t for things such as murder and smuggling, LOL in this book Freddie and Anna have been together for three years and are still going strong! The club that Anna owns with her BFF Tonya is flourishing... but someone is missing and it is Freddys duty to find them, otherwise the unthinkable will happen... Mobster law is all about blackmail, threats, honor, and loyalty after all!

This thriller has plenty of twists and turns... it will lead you in one direction and then zig in an entirely different direction.... but the truth star of this book are the fabulous characters and wonderful relationships.... Freddie is fiercely loyal especially when it comes to his family and Anna... he will stop at nothing to protect them! Another fabulous relationship in this book is Anna and Tonya I love this strong female friendship....

Another wonderful installment in this series that is a little different from my normal read... excited to see what is next for Freddie, Anna, and Tonya....

Absolutely recommend when you are in the mood for a gritty story with some pretty darn amazing characters!

*** many thanks to Bookouture for my copy of this book ***

4 stars

Slow start but built up to an intense thriller with interesting characters.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

this is the second instalment of the gangland saga and i have to say i enjoyed it more than the first. the way has been paved for at least another instalment and possibly more. Readers of this genre will love it.

many thanks to netgalley and the publishers for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

What an amazing book!! It gripped me from the start and held in to me,I did not want it to end! Did not see any of the twists coming! Which is how you no that the story has engrossed you
5* review for this. Already waiting for the next to see where the journey takes the characters next.
If you have read the first one i recommend this follow up but if you haven't read this author i only ask one question why not???

By the end of Runaway Girl by Emma Tallon, Anna Davis is finally happy. She is no longer in fear of her ex and is in a happy relationship with Freddie Tyler. Moreover, she is co-owner of a very successful London club with her best friend Tanya. But, she is suddenly worried about Freddie. She is under no illusions about his criminal lifestyle, but he is now keeping things from her and has even recently begun disappearing in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, Freddie is more than angry. A girl has gone missing from one of his clubs and the police are certain that he has had something to do with it. Then, someone that he absolutely does not trust shows up and says that he'd better find the girl or else Anna will be killed. No matter the cost, Freddie does not want Anna to know of this ultimatum, but what's he to do when finding the missing girl goes without success and Anna's life really goes on the line.? As a man who loves his own deeply and unreservedly he is not going to let any of this go without a fight.

I am really glad that I read book one in this thrilling series before reading this. It gave me a solid background as to who the characters were, and how they were all connected. As much as I loved the first book, Runaway Girl, this one completely blew me away. Although it didn't generate the same about of fear and anxiety, Dangerous Girl had a different vibe. This story has a high element of danger when it comes to what could happen to the missing girl and to Anna, but it also delves a bit more into a couple of other characters, Freddie's brother Michael, as well as Tanya.

Since this book is about the world of gangsters there is a fair level of violence, but it is also peppered with sensitivity, especially when it comes to Freddie's character. He displays a real dichotomy of emotions in how he handles his gangster activities and how he deals with his loved ones. This is a fast-paced book, one that begins feverishly from the very start and ends with the most intense conclusion. Those last chapters are truly riveting. Dangerous Girl is indeed a captivating read.

As mentioned, this is the second book in the series and there are enough explanations to allow this to do well as a standalone, but I am one who enjoys connectivity with both the characters and the storyline, thus I purchased the previous title and read it immediately before this one. Now I have to wait for Book 3 and I really don't know how I am supposed to do that!

Many thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC to review; this is my honest opinion.

This is a gritty, compelling read. The characters and the setting is dark and there is plenty of action to the plot. The descriptions are really well written and I could imagine the setting and the characters in my head which I love to be able to do when I am reading. I would definitely recommend this book and I will be looking out for more books by Emma Tallon.

This is the second book in the gangland series based around the Tyler family. Anna is co-owner of one of London’s hottest new clubs and she’s finally got rid of her abusive ex. But her new boyfriend, Freddie, is disappearing in the middle of the night and keeping things from her. Unbeknown to her, one of the girls from Freddie’s club has gone missing and the police are all over him. After a visit from a familiar face, Freddie is given an ultimatum – find the girl or Anna will be killed.

I have read the first book in the series, Runaway Girl, but couldn’t really remember the characters from the blurb. Once I started to read this book, all the characters came flooding back! It can be read as a standalone book though! I loved Anna’s character from the first book, and she’s just as good, if not better, in this one! I also loved Freddie’s character and the way that he was hard as nails to everyone else but like a big teddy bear to the ones that matter to him!

It is a gangland book, there are parts which are violent, gritty and raw – but that’s what these books are all about! The plot starts on a fast pace and keeps moving that way right through to the end of the book. This is the type of book that you really feel like you can get your teeth into and won’t let go until you’ve finished it. It’s a roller coaster of a read that keeps you guessing as to who has taken the girl and it keeps you hooked on the lives of Anna, Tanya and Freddie. It ends perfectly to be continued with Book 3 in the series (I assume there will be?!) and I can’t wait for the next book! This would also make the perfect TV series….remember you read that here first! Well recommended!

This is a great book and one that will have you gripped from the word go.
Anna and Freddie have now been together three years and are still going strong.
Anna is making a success of the club with Tanya and Freddie is doing what he does best...
All this could come crashing down on them though as a threat is hanging over their heads.
Freddie is ‘told’ to do something and if he doesn’t then the consequences don’t best thinking about.
The Tylers have a real race against time on their hands and Anna is really worried about them all.
Tanya also has problems and is nearly killed when things go too far.
This is a fantastic story and I look forward to the next one. With the cliffhanger in this one - I can’t wait!
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Anna is finally happy. She is rid of her abusive ex and she's co-owner of one of Londonds hottest new clubs with her best friend, Tanya. But she's worried about her boyfriend, Freddie. He's keeping things from her and he won't tell her where he goes in the middle of the night.

A girl has gone missing from one of Freddie's clubs. He is threatened by a familiar face, find the girl or Anna will be killed. Freddie risks everything to save Anna's life, but time is quickly running out. Will Freddie find the girl in time?

I must admit, I did enjoy this book better than I did her first book, Runaway Girl. I was drawn in quickly to the storyline. A girl goes mIssing, who does not want a missing person to be found safe and well, even if it is a bad guy that's looking for her. There is a lot going on in this book but not so much that you forget what's happening. This is a roller coaster read with many twists, great characters and a final twist at the end that I did not see coming.

I would like to thank NetGalley, Bookouture and the author Emma Tallon for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great read. I recommend you read Runaway Girl first though I have been told it can be read as a standalone.

I enjoyed this more than Runaway Girl if that’s possible. The characters are more solid.

Great storyline and I ended up reading this in one sitting. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cannot wait to read more of this series. After that ending I’ll be waiting with baited breath lol

Totally estatic to see the Tyler's back! Following on from the fantastic Runaway Girl the story goes on to reveal how Anna and Freddie are finally starting to live their lives again after the previous traumas. Such a gritty storyline with the best twists and turns throughout, I really can't wait to see what happens next! I will deffinatly be reccomend this to everyone I know! 10/10 ❤

This is a good modern thriller. It is the follow on from "Runaway Girl" . There is still another book to come. All the main character's from the previous book are there. I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one.

Dangerous Girl is another winner for Emma Tallon! The writing is taut, the setting tense and the characters well developed. Recommended!

Anna is finally happy. She’s rid of her abusive ex and she’s co-owner of London’s hottest new club, with her best friend Tanya. But she is worried about her boyfriend, Freddie. He’s keeping things from her. And he won’t tell her where he goes in the middle of the night.

Freddie is furious. A girl has gone missing from one of his clubs and the police are all over him. When a familiar face turns up and threatens him, he’s offered a deal – find the girl or Anna will be killed.

I was very lucky to recieve this book in exchange for my review.........From start to finish i was hooked. I was given a great story with characters with had me become interested in what was going to happen next and also wondering what had happened in the past.

A story of love.... fear....... murder........ family and only a short period of time to save your whole family.

Family should always stick together ...

Wow, wow, wow. This is such a brilliant book! I have not read the first one but I had no problem at all to pick the story up.

It's gripping, fluently written, fast paced, emotional and a certain chapter put a smile on my face. (Those who already read the book will know which one I mean LOL). It certainly kept me chained to my sofa.

I loved the way Freddie was hard as nails to everybody who dares to threaten his 'family', but he was not afraid to show his softer side to his loved ones. I know he was a criminal but he stole a little piece of my heart as well.

I can't wait to read the next part.

Thank you, Emma Tallon, Bookouture and Netgalley.
