Description

Fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and Jacqui Rose will love this gripping new book from bestselling crime author Emma Tallon.

There’s a new girl in town and she has a score to settle.

Scarlet Drew isn’t to be messed with. As the daughter of a notorious London gangster, she’s got enough street smarts to take on the world. When someone close to Scarlet is murdered in cold blood on the East End streets where she grew up, her family’s honour is at stake and she can only think of one thing – revenge.

Joining her aunt Lily at the head of the family business, Scarlet soon realises that the murder is just one part of a plot by a rival firm to take down the entire Drew empire, and she fears that her aunt could be their next target.

As everything they built begins to crumble, the Drew family find their livelihood and their reputations under pressure. Then, Scarlet’s estranged cousin Ruby suddenly comes back into the family, with a revelation that could tear the Drews apart. But can she be trusted? As Scarlet makes some tough decisions, one thing is for sure: family means everything to her and she will stop at nothing to protect it, even if it means putting her own life at risk.  AMAZON LINK

4 STARS

 I'm giving this story 4 stars on Amazon because of how well written it was.  I liked it but with some reservations.  That reservation being that while I liked it, it wasn't necessarily a favorite.

The people in the story were well drawn as was the world that they lived in.  Scarlet's  twin cousins were good at what they did but they could also be a bit of wild cards.  They would do impulsive, reckless things at times.   And the one that they pull later in the book is insanely, crazy dangerous.  Like it could get you killed, painfully and not just them.  But it would wipe out the WHOLE family.  

Scarlet  was a great main character as was her aunt Lily.  There is plenty of drama when it comes to Scarlet's mom NOT wanting her in her father's dangerous business.  

Lily's daughter Ruby shows up in the story to add bitterness and strife to the family.

Many questions are answered when it comes to who murdered Ronan Drew.  But there is also a surprise waiting in a family twist at the end.
