\nTHERE ARE SOME PEOPLE YOU SHOULD NEVER CROSS<\/span><\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIn a life of crime, loyalty means everything \u2013 even if you don\u2019t always see eye to eye. But when Vaughn Sadler speaks up to get Franny Doyle sent down, he\u2019s broken every rule in the book to win checkmate.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\nAND OTHERS YOU SHOULDN\u2019T UNDERESTIMATE\u2026<\/span><\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nHoled up in prison, Franny has more than one score to settle \u2013 but she\u2019s starting with Vaughn. Because you don\u2019t grass on your own, no matter what. And though she may be behind bars, she will get revenge \u2013 whatever the cost.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\nBefore, there was just bad blood running through her veins. But now, there is poison\u2026<\/span><\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nHaving read three other books by Jacqui Rose (Taken<\/a>, Betrayed<\/a>, and Fatal<\/a>) I was excited to see another release by this great thriller writer. Poison centers on Franny Doyle but, as with Jacqui’s other books, features recurring characters from previous stories.<\/p>\n

Jacqui’s books may be about tough gangland criminals but it’s the women in the stories that are the featuring characters, the strong characters, the characters who get things done. Poison is no exception and is the story of Franny Doyle, set up and in prison for murder by someone who should know better. Poisoned by this betrayal Franny sets out to plot her release from prison and her revenge on the men who sent her there.<\/p>\n

Poison is an absurdly addictive novel, one that is hard-hitting and, in places, incredibly hard to read. There are bent coppers, gangland criminals, teenage girls who are trying to escape sexual abuse and drug addiction at far too young an age – none of which make for pleasant reading half the time but lend a lot to the page-turning quality of not just Poison but all of Jacqui’s books.<\/p>\n

Poison can be read as a standalone novel but you may enjoy it more if you have previous knowledge of some of the characters, as events in previous books definitely contribute to what motivates them in this book. Poison is Jacqui’s tenth book, the fourth book that I’ve read by her, and is just as addictive as the first one. I’m definitely going to go back and read the other books that I haven’t and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for all of the characters, old and new.<\/p>\n

Although I have very much enjoyed Poison – huge thanks to Avon for sending me a copy of the book, I have to end by saying that it won’t be for everyone. There’s mention of sexual abuse, drug use and addiction, and strong\/graphic violence, but if you like hard-hitting thrillers with a dark edge to them, do try Jacqui’s books. My recommendation would be to start with Taken<\/a> if you can and then you can read the rest in any order you like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
