BUY THIS BOOK!! Thank me later!!

Wow! It's never easy to review a book like this as you don't want to give too much away, but you just want everyone to grab a copy and experience it for themselves!! It is full of characters that you gravitate towards, care for, despise, and as you watch the story unfold you end up experiencing every decision made, you hear every noise, feel every emotion - it just swallows you up whole and you are in for one hell of a journey!!


And in the character of Duchess, you have someone who just shines out! From a young age she's had an awful life, with many harrowing experiences and her whole life is shaped by despair. Her mother, Star, is struggling with her own issues, especially after losing her sister. Duchess is there for her mum though and helps to care for her brother Robin. Chief Walker is always looking out for them too, especially as he feels responsible for the direction their family life has taken - his best friend, Vincent King, is serving time in jail for the death of Star's sister when he was 15 - and 30 years later he is set for release. There's scores to be settled, and truths to be uncovered and when another horrific crime is committed then fingers start pointing again and life seems to be repeating itself once more.

Duchess has always seen herself as an outlaw, after hearing some family history stories, and the way she cares for her brother and vows to right wrongs - your heart just aches for her. She is full of rage and anger after having to grow up so quickly and her only mission in life is to protect Robin. Moved from pillar to post she is reluctant to accept change and almost appears to resent nice things happening as she doesn't feel she deserves it. Just when things are settling down for her and Robin, it is cruelly ripped away from her again and the rage returns...

This is unquestionably one of my books of 2020 and I cannot recommend it highly enough! You'll laugh, cry, be shocked, be outraged - it has everything!! Amazing!!
