When Isla, Grace’s granddaughter, is kidnapped, the entire family and their loyal followers are ready to take action. But it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack — they have absolutely no idea who could be behind it. As a notorious gangster family, it’s no surprise they’ve stepped on quite a few toes over the years — people who would love nothing more than to take revenge.

If you were a smart perpetrator, you’d disappear without a trace. But if you think you can outsmart the Carters and become overconfident, you’re signing your own death warrant…

The kidnapper isn’t the only one who thinks they can trap the Carters, but this family is no fool — they have an answer for everything.

Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed all the manipulation and revenge, but also the powerful bond that holds this family together. Their love for each other makes them strong — they are always there for one another. They suffer, they celebrate, they fight — but never alone. Always together.

It’s beautiful to also see the sensitive side beneath their tough exterior.

To me, this author is someone who can truly bring gangland crime stories to life on the page, and for that, she fully deserves my 5-star rating.

Thank you.

I love this Genre of fiction. I find it gritty and very easy reading. However I wasn't aware this was book 8 in the series. Not impressed with myself but will be reading the others now and in order. Didn't finish it as I didn't want to spoil it for myself but I will get around to it soon. Love this genre

A good book along with the other books that go along with these stories. Here the boys are retiring and living in Spain and the family is going along smoothly until the granddaughter is kidnapped, now all hell has been broken and they are back not only to find the granddaughter but all of the people behind the kidnapping. An excellent book.

Brilliant book.
The twists and turns com thick and fast, the characters are brilliant, and it is a gripping read.
Grab it, read it, and love it!

I wished I’d read the other books in the series. But hadn’t realised when I selected it, it was a good read all the same. It was addictive and I couldn’t put it down once I started it. Love a good gangster read. The book was very well written I just need to go read the rest in the series

This was a great final installment to this series with plenty of suspense, twists, and turns. I loved it but hate for the series to end.
Many thanks to Harpercollins UK and to Netgalley for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

Wow! This was a great final installment to this series with plenty of suspense, twists, and turns. I loved it but hate for the series to end.
Many thanks to Harpercollins UK and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I was totally hooked from the first page. This book pulls you in and captivates you.

Book 8 in the Carter family and the last one in the series. It was good to catch up with the characters.

Grace and Michael were the king and queen of Gangland Liverpool and have retired to Spain leaving the business side to their Children to run. When little Isla their 8-year-old grandaughter is kidnapped they immediately fly home.
They are out for revenge and will stop at nothing to dish it out.
Just wow what a smash this is, it's a book that will keep you turning the pages until the very end ending with smoke as it's hot.
Crime, corrupt police, torture, and anything else you could possibly want in a gangland crime book. This is a must to read.
Thank you so much NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this excellent book. xx

The latest episode in the life of Liverpool gangster family The Carters. It has its very predictable level of violence and follows the same style as previous books . Without having read previous books in this series much os the story would be difficult to understand as much of the characterisation and story line refers to earlier plot lines and events.
I would not class this as a serious crime novel more of a quick read on holiday type of book.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I am a big Caz Finlay fan. This book didn't disappoint. I'm already looking forward to the next book. Recommended.

This is the 8thbook in the series and it was absolutely brilliant. I read this book in one day as I was hooked. Gripping and fast paced left me wanting more

Great book, I loved this series, hope there is more to come.

Gangland family sagas are my favourite and Grace Carter is definitely the person you want on your side.

This was a great read. Very exciting and twisty. I devoured this one in a day and when I got to the end I wanted more. Highly recommend this one. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Love this author. Always enjoy her books and this was
No exception. I loved the storyline and the characters!!

Another absolutely gripping part to this amazing series , each book, in my opinion, just gets better as it delves deeper into the life’s of the carters and there crew, I actually feel like I know them personally. As always lots of toe curling moments of torture and a fantastic plot that makes you just want to keep reading, can’t wait to see what’s in store for them all next.

Another enjoyable read in this great series about this series set in Liverpool. I never thought I would grow to like a gangster family, but I have to say that despite what they are doing I admire the loyalty in the book. The family’s little girl disappears, the police is on the case, but no police is needed in the end, because “the professionals are on the case”.

I thoroughly enjoyed the pace in this book. It was a fairly short read, but I felt it was perfect for the story. Well-written, great plot, I feel the characters growing, and I simply enjoyed the read as a whole.

I have absolutely loved this bad blood series following the lives of Grace and her family. Grace has certainly had some ups and downs in her life starting off with Nathan her first husband. After all the trauma and upset with Nathan now in the past Grace and Michael have taken their youngest children to Spain leaving their eldest children to run the business. Getting a phone call saying that their Granddaughter Isla has been taken has them on the first plane back to Liverpool. Can Grace save her family one more time. A fab fast paced read that you will not want to put down. It’s sad when a series comes to an end but it’s also exciting as we wait to see what Caz will have in store for us next. A five star series that I highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another classy novel from Caz Finlay based in Liverpool.

Grace Carter's granddaughter goes missing and there is no ransom demand and nobody seems to know anything about it. The Carters do not know which of their enemies would do such a thing.

Another action packed story keeping the reader on the edge of their seat throughout.

Highly recommended.

Book 8 of the Bad Blood series & Caz has done it again! What a brilliant read, I actually had tears running down my face more than once reading this. I can't recommend this series highly enough!

This is book 8 in the bad blood series. I have read some of the others but not all of them.

I enjoy these books I find them easy to read. They can be quite dark in parts.

I love the series and I loved this too
