When I started Loyalty I began to think my tastes had changed during her 4 year hiatus and wasn’t particularly enjoying it. I love it when the bad guys get their comeuppance; taste even sweeter when the victims hold the cards.

There is a lot of violent scenes though so this book won't be for you if you have a weak stomach for stuff like that. After a long delay, Loyalty finally arrived and before anyone reacts, I do understand the reasons behind it and hope Martina is doing well, so back to the book, Loyalty is a phrase that’s thrown in regularly and it has different meanings to a lot of the characters but the true definition is what Dara shows to those that matter to her, it’s difficult to know which of the authors wrote which part as they blended so well together, it’s gritty and hard to read in places and shows humanity at it’s absolute worst and yet despite that the three friends stick together and get through. There were some evil characters as always but such is life 🤷🏼‍♀️ this was 600 hundred pages of book and it could have gone for another 600 for me. This novel deals with the troubled lives of the main characters Freddie Jackson and his wife Jackie. As with all Martina’s books there is lots of gangland violence and the subject matter requires you to have a strong stomach.

She welcomes the distraction from her home life with former gangster, Patrick Kelly, whose long lost son has turned up out of the blue, bringing trouble with him. However, his wife Jackie does not want him to do anything wrong that would land him in prison again and just wishes that he comes back home. Loyalty is a chilling, unflinching, and disturbing insight into the live’s of those living in and on the fringes of the criminal underworld. It soon becomes clear the killer is on their doorstep and as the body count grows, Kate and Annie face a race against the clock.
