The first book in what I can only say is going to be an epic series. This author has written some of my favourite book series ever. I have loved each and every book by this author and believe me there are a lot.
In this book as her others, Heather has created some outstanding, memorable characters. A lot of these characters wil stay in your mind long after finishing this book. There is a hidden sense of humour in these books along with the gripping, gritty sometimes gruesome story.
To be honest when I first started reading this I thought it was a little tame compared to some of Heathers other books. But don't let that put you off, once this book ramps up and you have gotten to know everyone it really sucks you in. You will fly through the pages.
So, book 1 is set in Glasgow on the Gallowburn estate. Another of those estates that you love to read about, but don't want to live on. An estate where family and loyalty is important as is being able to look after yourself.
4 Guys from the estate known as The Blood Brothers, 4 friends, Jamie, Gary, Digger and Logan. Each on a character in their own right, the book is based around Jamie and his family, his frying pan lover of a mother and his younger Brother Charlie.
The Lawsons are The Blood Brothers, rivals. when they clash there is always trouble.
While working a local shop Jamie meets Allegra Abernethy, there story then turns into one crazy adventure. Jamie being from the estate and Allegra the daughter of a very controlling, rich, criminal father. She likes to spend her days away from home and away from her father.
I especially loved Jackie, Jamie's mum in this book, what a great character she is. she will have no one upsetting her cubs, Mamma bear will be there with her weapon of choice in her hand. Her frying pan.
Also Ephraim, he seems like such an oddball character you can't help but like him.
The whole cast of this book are amazing in their own rights, the story flows brilliantly and you are whisked along on a bumpy rollercoaster of a ride.
A must read for anyone who like the gritty gangland books.
​First class..

This book is a real page turner I couldn't put it down it's a must read book . It's a brilliant book can't wait for the next one .

Although this book is a gritty gangland thriller, I actually found myself laughing out loud at some bits. There is a lot of humour and some very funny characters in this book that bring a little lightheartedness to the story.

This is book one of a new series set in Glasgow on the Gallowburn estate.

We meet the Blood Brothers Jamie and his friends when they clash with rival enemies the Lawsons.

Jamie meets Allegra who is from a rich family, can he turn his life around.

This is a great storyline and the characters are very well written, left nicely set up for the next installment.

If you like gangland crime then this is for you.

Oh what a book

Jamie Grey the leader of The Blood Brother's.
Best mate Logan McVitie they don't take no stick.
