Review:

I need to be honest with you and tell you that this book was sent to me by the author, because this book unfortunately isn't available in Italy. What a bummer!

Anyway, Christian Sterling was really kind and he sent it to me in exchange for an honest review, which is what you're about to read.

First things first, I must say I'm not the greatest when it comes to remembering characters names and personalities, so at first I had some difficulties re-immersing myself in the story. Once I got the gist of it though, I couldn't put the book down.

The relationship that forms between the gangs, how they work together and how they manage to put every prejudice aside warmed my heart. 

I don't want to give any spoiler but I can say that (almost) everybody has a chance to redeem themselves and show whi they really are.

I could not tell you who my favourite character is, because I love them all: Juan Carlo would do anything for his mates, Allen and Panda are amazing with children and do an amazing job with them and David is trying to understand who he really is and who he wants to be. Amzing!

Plus, the author did a really good job in reminding the reader what happened in the previous book without being annoying.

There were plot twists that I didn't see coming (especially the one at the end) but they were all amazing and worked out perfectly with the story.

If I have to find something that wouldn't fit everybody's taste, I would say that sometimes the scenes are a bit gory and there's a lot of gang slang. And I can't find nothing else "bad" to say.Just read it already!
