Dublin Devils are just handsome
devils that are part of a mob. The oldest brother is in charge or, so he thinks
until dear old dad shows him he isn’t. This book introduces all the members of
the cast. Though it centers mostly on Cian, his likes, dislikes, being boss,
his world and the revenge he wants on one member of his family. Something
happened long ago that has set him on a course to take down one man and save
the rest of his family. Each brother has his own story to tell as the series
goes on you will get to know each one better. For now, we deal mostly with
Cian, Conner, his girlfriend and their father along with a few other people.
What a thrilling ride as you are taken deep and deep into the crime world
dealing with drugs, cybercrime and the FBI who wants to make a deal but the
deal just got bigger leaving a crime family on the edge of trying to save their
world or let it fall apart. Who will be left standing and who will end up dead,
the world as they know it does a 360 spinning out of control.
What an exciting read with thrills,
excitement and danger as a father and son fight it out. One's health won’t let
him run the business and the other doesn’t run it the way his old man does
which lead to control issues. When Cian was eighteen something happen to turn
his world upside down turning him against the man he calls his father. Nothing
has ever been the same since. What it must be like to have all the money in the
world you could want but never being able to walk outside without bodyguards,
wondering if today will be your last day alive since other crime leads wants
what is yours. You can’t just go for a nice dinner, shopping or even a trip. At
first, I had mixed feelings for Cian but as the story really takes off he
becomes my hero in so many ways.
The characters are fun, exciting, and
dangerous but at the same time fearful, not many wants to get into their
crosshairs. Above all my heart went out to Connor and his girlfriend for
waiting a life that is normal and knowing they can’t have it. The next would be
Cian who wants to give his whole family their wants and desires at a great cost
to his self. I did like how he tried to handle things in a calming manner
keeping peace where his father wanted war. I liked how he tried to help others
not only his family but those outside of it as well. He is a man of honor who
said what he means, but he isn’t bad, just caught up in a world he was born
into. Just when things are going his way someone steps in throwing a tailspin
on his world leaving it spinning out of control. He fights to tilt it back but
finds some things will never be the same.
I really loved and respected his
mother she is a gem, his brothers won me off as well but his father should be
taken out and shot for what he has done to his family. The women in the boys
lives are sweet, kind and just dearly. The author gives you a well-thought-out
plot that holds your attention with a read I could not put down. I really
enjoyed getting to know the characters and watching some take their last
breaths. (Does that make me a bad person, sorry, but they deserve what happened
to them) I found myself talking to them, smiling with them, and my heart just
broke for a few. It is a very Intriguing read that sucks you in from the first
page and leaving you holding your breath at the last page with an OH NO. The
ending is somewhat of a cliffhanger which I hate but here I didn’t mind it at
all because it semi completes itself which was a very good place to stop.
All in all I totally loved it and
can’t wait for the next book in this series to come out. If you like crime mob
stories with danger, excitement, love, drama and revenge this is the book for
you. It is up for pre-order at a nice price pick it up before it is marked up.
