Wow! I was out of breath by the time I finished Bad - it was a country spanning rollercoaster romp of violence, glamour and of course, sex! I really enjoyed Mad and after its cliffhanger ending, couldn't wait to find out what happened to Alvie after her BF stole her millions and ditched her in the Ritz hotel with no clue as to his whereabouts. We catch up with Alvie as she follows her man to Rome for a crazy game of cat and mouse - with some entertaining sex on the side with a dodgy policeman and a hot female assassin. I love Chloe Esposito's books for their pure escapism and as ever I couldn't put this one down. - a great holiday read :)

I know there's one more book to come in the series and I guess I'd like to see Alvie's character develop a little fuirther on from what we know now - some hidden revelations from her past perhaps or some secrets about her sister to give some more twists. I'd like to know more about them both.:)

Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin for the opportunity to read and review Bad.

Great follow up to Mad where we see Alvie create even more mayhem for herself. The book stands in its own right as the beginning briefly explains to the reader what happened in the first book of this trilogy.

Thre are some wonderful (if slightly unbelievable) scenes in Bad and it's a great escapist romp with many LOL moments. A word of warning for sensitive readers: sweary words abound and there is a lot, a lot of explicit sex!

A great holiday read especially while salivating over cool Italian men. Chloe Esposito's fans will not be disappointed. Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin for the opportunity to read and review Bad.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced copy.

Absolutely loved the 2nd part of the trilogy. It left off right where book 1 ended which was great but also gave a brief update on where we were in the story which was such a good idea as you were able to get straight into the story again.

If you thought Alvie was mad in the first book this one takes it to a whole other level. Can’t wait for the final book in the trilogy to be released.

Very different type of book as it’s so extreme and far fetched but so easy to read as it’s fast paced throughout.

I loved “Mad” the first novel in this trilogy – where we were introduced to Alvie Knightly, a girl on a mission to steal her sister’s life. Seemingly she should be careful what she wished for but ultimately Alvie has a dangerously dark core which came to life in hilarious detail – Mad was possibly the most appropriately titled novel ever..

Now Alvie is back, embracing her inner killer and on the hunt for lover Nino, who has left her behind and issued a challenge. Well Alvie is more than up to that and sets off to track Nino down, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake…but will she find her happily ever after?

I love Alvie as a character – she’s funny, often inept, but wickedly engaging, can extract herself from any situation and basically just rolls over anyone in her way leaving them either dead or distraught. The wonderfully sexy Nino keeps her on her toes and “Mad” is basically just one long twisted courtship. The events get ever more insane but ever more entertaining and this is the most fun you’ll have with a book this Summer I reckon. It is far fetched yet utterly believable, the characters pop, the locations are vividly brought to life as both Nino and Alvie cut a swathe through Rome in a cat and mouse chase where honestly either one could be cat or mouse…

You can read this without reading “Mad” as Alvie helpfully gives us a rather ranty “previously on” early in the book but I really would start at the beginning so you can see her develop, often her randomly witty inner dialogue will have you laughing out loud, plus the forming of her relationship with assassin Nino, how they end up in this situation is an incredibly lively reading time. You have time to catch up with Alvie’s adventures so far.

I loved it. Wildly entertaining. sexy as hell, possibly the darkest ending that will still make you laugh I’ve ever seen, I can’t help but highly recommend it. Bring on “Dangerous to Know” – I simply can’t wait.

Like nothing else I have read! If you thought Alvina had done it all in mad....think again! Bad takes it to the next level, Alvina is everything you should hate in a character, but I loved it!

Not my usual type of book. Needed more character depth

This picks up from where 'Mad' ended but Alvie helpfully gives a summary of her demented week for new readers... With Nino having absconded with the millions and the car, Alvie is thrust back on her own resources, but nothing will keep this girl down for long! And so begins a cat-and-mouse chase - or is that a courtship?!

Once again, our wicked anti-heroine is LOL funny and even more outrageous than in the first book - do beware if you're easily offended by bad language and explicit sex, for everyone else this is brilliantly written escapism!

Mad is one of my favourite books of all time and I was eager to read this next book in the trilogy .

Second books are rarely as good as the first but this was just brilliant . I fell straight into the story from where it left off in Mad , although the writer did a brilliant job at referring back and getting you straight in the story again.
I love Alvina , her character made me laugh , a lot. Her couldn't care attitude made me like her even more!!
Without giving to much of the story away I loved the chase , the thrill , the ending ...just all of it.
I devoured it in two days and was sad when I read the last page . Another wait until I can get my fix of this fantastic trilogy!
I have no doubt this is going to be a massive hit when it's made into a film .
I will 100% be recommending Bad!
Well done Chloe ! Pure brilliance !
