A great exciting read
After losing his mom at an early age, Tommy Myers followed 3 simple rules: Donât let fear rule his life, fight for those he cared about and never stop unless someone kills him. Knock him down and he would get up fighting. Everything with his life was going to plan, his boxing career was on the rise, he was best friends with his stepsister and he thought nothing could go wrong. However, fate had other plans and after a vicious attack on his sister, Tommy sticking to his rules ends up in prison. Set in Newcastle upon Tyne, we follow Tommy over 3 generations, and see what choices he makes.
The instant, I was introduced to Tommy, I took to him straightaway. A loveable rogue, he earnt respect because he had morals. Sticking to his rules gave him a sense of purpose and even though he was sometimes on the wrong side of the law, he was never greedy and only used violence if necessary. As family come first we get to know Tommyâs family really well. Donna the stepmom, held the family together at their darkest times and although it must have been hard stepping into Maryâs shoes, she always supported the family and never turned her back on them. Karen, Tommy stepsister vowed never to be the victim again and although she had bouts of depression, once she had a project to keep her busy, she put 100% effort into it, not afraid to inflict pain on the male population, she was the one that people under-estimated. Tommyâs nemesis from the moment he was locked up was Jack Hudson, ruling the criminal activity in Newcastle, with the help of bent police office Detective Patrick Campbell, he wants to get revenge on Tommy.
From the prologue, you know that this is going to be an intense story. Set in the criminal world, you expect scenes that are dark and graphic, but each scene is relevant to the story. The author has not just written the scenes for shock sake. The author has your emotions on a rollercoaster, the twists he adds to the story makes it a page turner and you do not know where the author will take you next. I enjoyed reading about the 80s as being a teenager in that decade reminded me about the fashion and music that was around and with some of the comments Tommy made, made me smile to myself.
I was shocked to find that this was his novel as it was written so well. For lovers of the true gritty thrillers, then this is the book for you. Martina Cole needs to watch out as there is a new author close on her heels.
A 'belter' of a novel.
4.5 stars.
Tommy Myers is someone who has quite a bright future ahead of him, that is until a certain event sends his life spiralling into a totally different direction.
The story actually starts off with quite a bang in present day, then we are taken back to events building back up to the current day. This way we get a better feel for the characters and what they are dealing with.
