Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and author for this eARC.

I really like Kerry Kaya as an author and have always enjoyed reading her books. Downfall is a good read, just not one of her best for me. As always the writing is good, the plot line moves fast and is full of thrills, action and suspense. I found it hard to like and relate to two of the main characters - Jonny and Carla which surprised me as I'm usually on board with the characters this author creates. In my opinion Jonny comes across as reckless, arrogant, desperate to make his mark in the family business and won't listen to opinions different to his, and Carla is selfish and spoilt. Jonny takes over the family business and plans a job that his brothers think is dangerous and will fail so won't back him. I liked the reappearance of characters from previous books, especially the Tempest family and Rina. I finished this read liking Carla a bit more and I'm still undecided about Jonny. Job done to the author though in creating two absolutely hateful characters and I couldn't wait for them to get their come uppance.

Overall a good and enjoyable read which I'd recommend if you like gangland books. I'd want to read the next book in series to see if I like Jonny more.

If you like your gangland/crime thrillers then this is one for you. The Carter family next generation are back with a bang! I love the flawed characters and there are plenty of them, as the family plan their next big job. Carla is developing into her own and planning her first robbery but will she survive? Another entertaining, fast paced thriller which I am sure fans of the genre will enjoy. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

Yet another great book from Kerry kaya . Can't wait for the next instalment of the Carter's . These books are so good a must read .

I remember the Carters very well I am happy the author decided to make a series with the younger generation being prepared to keep up the 'good' work their fathers and grandfathers did and still do. They can learn from the best and one of them shows great potential. Lord, have mercy when he will take over the helm. I have the feeling he will be the most ruthless of them all.

I always enjoy it when to families who are usual not seeing eye to eye teaming up with each other when they have to same goal, to go back to disliking each other again once the goal is achieved. 

Once again the author waved her magic wand to create a fabulous first book in what I hope will be the start of a long series I am already looking forward to devour. 

In all honesty I can say she has mastered the art of writing splendid gangland crimes. 5 stars

Thank you

The carters are back, and you know it can only be trouble Jimmy Carter. Wants to step down running the family business and live in Spain with his partner. so, he puts. Jonny in charge . the other brothers not happy about this. Now Carla Carter his niece wants to get back at her stepfather she blames him for her parents break up.

This author is an amazing gangland writer. looking forward to the next book in this series

Terrific tale i would recommend to anyone who enjoys a gangland storyline.
The Carters are back!!
Interesting and well written characters.
I was hooked from the start.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

What a Fabulous book this was, the story and characters really have you on the edge of your seat rooting for the better team. The Carters choose a new leader but not all are in favour of the brother chosen to lead the family. Kerry Kaya is a favourite of mine and she gets better with every book she writes.

From start to finish this new book by one of my favourite authors was one that was hard to put down.Such great storytelling and the bringing together of the Carters and Tempest families was such a great move,yes all the characters are flawed in one way or another but that's what makes the read so good.
I, for one, can't wait for the next instalment. I'm sure the next generation will be just as if not more brutal than their elders.
Gangland perfection.
A must-read for lovers of gangland crime books.
Thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC.

Absolutely brilliant start to a new Carter series, fantastic writing from start to finish, loved every minute of it, can’t wait for the next one in the series AAA

Another blinding book. I love how characters from her books are in this one also. I literally need the next in the series already
