Description
Book 1 in this gritty Manchester crime trilogy. When your enemies get close, family loyalty is all you can trust.
Brother and sister Peter and Adele Robinson never stood a chance. Dragged up by an alcoholic, violent father, and a weak, beaten mother, their childhood in Manchester only prepared them for a life of crime and struggle. But Adele is determined to break the mould. She studies hard at school and, inspired by her beloved grandmother Joyce, she finally makes a successful life for herself on her own.
Peter is not so lucky. Getting more and more immersed in the murky world of crime and gangs, his close bonds with Adele gradually loosen until they look set to break altogether.
But old habits die hard, and one devastating night, Adele is forced to confront her violent past. Dragged back into her worst nightmares, there's only one person she can turn to when her life is on the line – her brother Peter. After all, blood is thicker than water...

This is the first book I have read by Heather Burnside and it wont be my last.
Born Bad is the first book of a new trilogy and was gripping right from the start. A pacy read thats gritty and true to life, the characters are believable and realistic. This is one book that I read really quickly as I was so engrossed. Brilliant story telling.
If you enjoy authors like Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers, Mandasue Heller etc you will love this writer, one not to be missed!
Thank you!

I loved this book and it is in my top 5 this year. It was easy to read and I devoured it in a day. I've never read anything by this author before but will certainly be looking out for her in the future. Will definitely be buying the next in the series! Would highly recommend

A great book following the lives of Adele and her brother Peter. Their Dad likes to drink and takes his bad temper out on Mum Shirley and often Peter too. When Peter gets into trouble his Dad throws him out after beating him and he ends up living in a squat with the wrong crowd of boys which leads him into being a career criminal. Adele try's to better herself and moves out as soon as she can but things don't go as planned. I don't want to spoil the story so you need to read this to find out what happens but I can tell you that like me you'll be waiting for the next book to find out what happens next. I highly recommend this book.
