Description

A mother will stop at nothing to protect her family

Cheryl Davidson was happy with husband Leo, watching her beloved son, Dean, grow into a handsome young man, dreaming of the paths his life would take, the grandchildren he would bring home.

Until the day that Dean was murdered, his body dumped in an isolated scrapyard with a bullet in his head, and Cheryl’s world exploded.

Discovering that Dean had been mixed up in the underworld of the Glasgow crime world, and worst of all, that Leo had brought him in, means that Cheryl’s sanity is hanging by a thread.

Overwhelmed by grief and with no one left to trust, Cheryl plans to take deadly retribution on the family that caused her son to be killed, vowing that they should suffer her same pain.

Cheryl might be up against the formidable Janey Hallahan, the woman who runs Glasgow gangland with guns and fear, but Janey and the Hallahans might discover that a grieving mother with nothing to lose might be the most dangerous opponent of all…

A heart-stopping, gritty gangland thriller that fans of Kimberley Chambers and Jacqui Rose won't be able to put down.

This is the second book I have read in this series and although I don’t normally read gangland mysteries I have enjoyed both of them. They are brutal and raw and have some truly horrible characters in them. They show all of human behaviour good, bad and in between. Thoroughly entertaining and eye opening. Thanks to Net galley for opportunity to review

This is the easiest five star A mother revenge is a hard hitting subject for sure human trafficking paedophilia, it has it all violence aswell.
Alex kane writes the subject very well janey is back with a vengeance she is a great character as is her granddaughter another badass.
All the characters are sublime even the bad guys. It is hard hitting a real roller coaster of a book. Hope there are another janey book in the future.

Explosive from start to finish. Didn’t expect anything else from the queen of gangland thrillers. Janey, despite being a hardened crime boss, will do anything to protect her family from a sex trafficking ring operating within her city. A real page turner, very hard to put down. Hopefully this isn’t the last of the Hallahan series.

Another page turning read in this pacy gangland thriller series set in Glasgow that is totally engaging from the beginning till the end.
Janey is one of my favourite characters,yes shes a gangland boss, but she still knows what's right and what's wrong, and at heart, she's like any other woman looking out for the people she loves.
It is filled with colourful characters and brutal scenes with a tense standoff, which leads to a dramatic ending to this not to be missed series.
This would make a brilliant TV series.
Thanks to Netgalley and Hera Books for the ARC.

How far would you go to protect your family and as a mother how far is far enough? This is the question in the next wonderful book in this series.

Cheryl is happily married to Leo and together they have a son Dean. But soon Cheryl and Leo will discover that Dean has been murdered and all hell is about to break loose. Glasgow’s underworld crime scene is brutal, and Cheryl is horrified to discover it is Leo that introduced Dean to this life. Cheryl will now meet up with Janey Hallahan, an extremely tough woman who reins over the gangland wars and is not someone you go up against unless you have very strong reasons. Cheryl has, and she is after revenge.

Gritty and expertly crafted, this is one of those books that you pick up and next thing you know you have read the whole book. The pacing is fast and the plot full of wonderful characters who will keep you on the edge with enough twists a plenty presented to you.

If you have not read this series to I highly recommend it, I do not think you will be disappointed.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an advanced copy of the book, all opinions expressed are my own.

A fabulous five star read. I love this Janey series and hope there'll be more to come. This story was flawless and illustrated the horrors of trafficking and paedophilia as well as the power of a mothers love. Excellent read.

A Mother's Revenge, written by Alex Kane, is a fast-paced gangland thriller set in Glasgow. It is a gripping read from start to finish. Janey is one of the standout characters, maybe a formidable gangland boss, but her strong moral compass and deep care for those she loves make her relatable and compelling. The novel is packed with vivid characters, intense scenes, and a high-stakes standoff culminating in a dramatic, must-read.
The novel is an excellent read, filled with suspense, intrigue, action, and mystery. With its gripping 'whodunit' plot and a series of unexpected twists that keep you guessing, the story keeps you hooked from beginning to end. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an engaging and thrilling read!
