BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'Her Fight' by Emma Tallon.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous
Publication date 13th December 2022.
This is the fifth book I have read by this author. It is also the fifth book in the 'Drew Family' series but can be read as a standalone. I have also read 'Her Revenge' (book 1),'Her Rival' (book 2), 'Her Betrayal' (book 3) and 'Her Payback' (book 4) and absolutely loved each one and would highly recommend this addictive series.
I was originally drawn to this book by its eye catching and colouful cover and its intriguing synopsis. The synopsis stated "If you love reading Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers you won’t be able to put down this thrilling gangland crime thriller from bestselling author Emma Tallon." I am a huge fan of Martina's books so am interested to see if it will live up to this statement. I am also a huge fan of Emma and if this is half as good as 'Her Revenge', 'Her Rival', 'Her Betrayal' and 'Her Payback' it will be an amazing read. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book).
This novel consists of a prologue, 58 chapters and an epilogue. The chapters are short to medium to long in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
This book is based in London, England 🏴, UK 🇬🇧. The bonus for me of books that are partly or fully based in the UK is that I live in the UK and have sometimes visited places mentioned in the book which makes it easier to picture.
This book is written in third person perspective with the main protagonists being Scarlet Drew, Lily Drew, Ruby Drew, DC Jenny Ascough, Connor Drew and Cillian Drew. The benefits of third person perspective are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out in anything.
OMG EMMA!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!!! YET AGAIN, WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY EXPLOSIVE BOOK AND BOMBSHELL CLIFFHANGER ENDING!!! I HOPE YOU'VE WRITTEN YOUR NEXT BOOK BECAUSE I CANNOT WAIT!!!
This book is extremely well written with vivid descriptions and the perfect atmosphere for the STORYLINE. The descriptions really emerge the reader into the storyline making your heart race and the hair on your arms raise. The synopsis and cover work perfectly with the book cover.
The book is gripping and addictive from the very first page until the last. I was absolutely hooked throughout with the suspense and tension filled plot. I enjoyed delving back into the underworld and getting to know more about the Drew family worked within the family, the underworld and all the other gangs. The storyline was intricately woven with so many sub plots that kept me completely engaged throughout. The way Emma has written it really helps your imagination picture everything going on. It is filled with laughter, love, crime, loss, shocks, twists and one hell of an explosive ending!!! What an absolute cliffhanger to end on with not just one shocker but many massive bombshells/cliffhangers!!! I was absolutely on the edge of my seat, biting my nails with a pounding heart throughout this absolutely gripping and addictive book!!! I have absolutely loved each and every book in this series but I must say this has definitely got to be the best. It is the most heart racing and nail biting and OMG the emotions I was going through!! I screamed, shouted, cried, my nails are bitten down so there's nothing left and I have been on the edge of my seat constantly. The ending just completely left me mind blown and I am ABSOLUTELY dreading and yet excited for and unable to wait for the next book which I just know is going to be another absolute explosive bombshell! I must say that I was happy with what happened to someone but at the same time as much as I hated them it feels a bit strange knowing that they are no longer there. Do I think they deserved it? Yes as it really was karma and one or the other. Teasing you much? What are you waiting for grab your copy today. I'm also intrigued by what another person is up to and how it's all going to play out. I just ABSOLUTELY LOVE this family and this series and I cannot wait to get stuck in to the next book!! Chop, chop Emma I'm waiting!!!
DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU HAVE CLEARED YIUR SCHEDULES AS IT WILL SUCK YOU IN!!! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GANGLAND CRIME SERIES YOU CAN SINK YOUR TEETH INTO THIS IS 100% THE BEST SERIES TO START!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
Although this is the fifth book in the series I had would have had absolutely no problems reading it without the others. Any details or events that have previously happened are mentioned in just the right amount of detail to let a new reader know what has happened and yet not too much to bore a previous reader.
I absolutely loved meeting the Drew family again as well as the other characters.. I never thought I would ever get THAT into a gangland crime book but OMG Emma you have completely proven me wrong. The Drew's have become like family and friends to me except for a certain one who I 10000% blame for this and I don't think I've ever actually hated a fictional character as much as I do this one!!!! More to come in a moment. I have also learned Emma's previous books were based on the Tyler family who we also met in this series so I am looking forward to going back to read that series as well as any further books in the Drew family serious. Scarlet is definitely a force to be reckoned with as is Lily and who doesn't love a strong kick @ss female in the crime world!! I was absolutely fascinated by all the businesses that she managed to keep afloat. I also enjoyed reading about what Connor and Cillian got up to and having twins myself it's quite interesting to see how these twins worked. I loved both of their huge and hilarious yet serious when needed personalities and they slightly remind me of the Weasley twins from Harry Potter with their cheeky sides. The tension in this storyline is absolutely threw the roof and with so many sides closing in on the Drews and with a snake in the grass will they be able to survive this blow? It has been absolutely heart breaking watching this once close family being torn apart and seeing different sides to them with less humour than normal. I have had several mixed feelings about Ruby since the start of this series, I don't think I've ever had as many mixed feelings about any other character EVER!!! However I can 10000% say she is now my absolutely most hated fictional character ever and if you could hear the names I was calling her it would have absolutely shocked you!! I wasn't sure what to make of Isla but I won't say anything about her as I don't want to give too much away but I will say that I was extremely pleased by something that happened with her. I was absolutely sickened by the way Calvin treated her and even more disgusted when I discovered what he had done in the past too. However, if you want to know more you'll just have to pick up your copy today. Every single character was strong and had their own unique personalities and each definitely left an impression on me. Regardless of whether I LOVED them or hated them they all came together to make this book and also this series exactly what it is and it is perfect the way it is!!!
I am looking forward to reading more of Emma's books and it would be intriguing to see them turned into movies. Emma, congratulations on yet another explosive hit and here's to your next success 🍻!!! This is EXACTLY why you are one of my favourite authors, this is one of my favourite series and the Drew's are definitely my favourite fictional family EVER!!!
Overall a must read, non stop, emotionally and action packed, explosive page turning, gripping and addictive adventure from the underworld that is one not to be missed!!!
Genres covered in this novel include Thriller, Heist Crime, Crime Thriller, Organised Crime, Mystery, Vigilante Justice, Psychological Fiction, Gangland Crime, Noir Fiction and Crime Thriller amongst others.
