Yet again another brilliant story following on from the last book. I love the family in this book. Can't wait to read the next one if there is one. So much happening in this book.
Brilliant read.
Great work

FANTASTIC.......Thankyou to netgalley for letting me review the latest book in the Glass family, insider. Luke glass is now the boss of the glass empire due to his brother dannys demise, a woman has turned up claiming to be the families sister, is she really??????? This is fast paced, gritty, couldnt put it down,highley recommend⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ you wont be disappointed

4 stars

The Glass crime family is under siege—attacks on all fronts from unknown enemies, & a cop has purportedly infiltrated the organization. Great writing, a layered & complex plot, & a cast of mainly criminal characters who are somehow still mostly likable. I can’t wait for the next installment.

[What I liked:]

•I really like the writing style. The dialogue is authentic, the narration flows, the descriptions are vivid & drew me in, & there are some nice turns of phrases.

•Pretty much none of the characters in this book are nice people, but dammit if the writer didn’t make me feel for them anyway (most of them—there are a few rotten-to-the-core villains, ofc). Luke is a brilliant character. He’s cold as steel, brutal—but also has a decency to him; he respects those who’ve earned it, & isn’t violent for violence’s sake. I really do like him. Nina, despite her self-centered theatrics, grew on me & I do admire her achievements with her real estate business & empathize with her pain. Heck, I even found myself rooting for Ollie, the dirty cop who isn’t particularly smart or well-mannered, because he has such a loving relationship with his wife 🥲

•The plot is deliciously complex, but I never got lost or felt bogged down. All the loose ends were deftly tied up by the end. Every scene & character meant something to the story, no filler. It really is well done. Also exciting.

•Bridie & Niall get special mention, because their relationship is the sweetest & purest & dammit I nearly cried.


[What I didn’t like as much:]

•Charley at times felt a bit over the top as a character. Perhaps because I never really saw any soft side to her, unlike Nina & Luke, & only seeing her hard-core, almost unhinged-ness made her seem almost surreal. Her backstory was also a bit thin (how did she get to London? get the money to front her operation? etc.)

CW: murder, torture, substance abuse
