SUMMARY: Louis grew up in the toughest streets of Birmingham. The streets where his own friends wouldn’t think twice before stabbing him in the back. The streets where women were seen as sex objects, rather than people. The streets where showing emotion was seen as a weakness. The streets where “kill or be killed” was the code that you needed to live by in order to survive…
The BookViral Review:
An edgy and hard-hitting read from the start, Kill or be Killed (Mafia Kingpin Book 1) keeps it real with Khaliq plumbing the darker depths of society. Not only telling a compelling story but ably managing to avoid the spectre of predictability which seems the bane of the genre.
There are few things more rewarding in crime fiction than good plot twists, but get it wrong and writers risk leaving their readers feeling swindled. Khaliq, however, pitches it just right with multiple narrative perspectives, giving us just enough to ensure momentum doesn’t falter whilst she keeps us guessing as to where loyalties will ultimately lay.
Writing in acerbic prose with a strong eye for detail her characters are insightful and deftly drawn, shunning the genre tendency towards apathetic stereotypes to deliver flawed real-world personas that will powerfully resonate with Khaliq’s readers. They’re caustic and energetic. Ensuring narrative momentum doesn’t falter as plotlines converge and darkly disturbing events unfold. And through them, Khaliq not only maintains psychological tension but encourages us to reflect on the consequences of peer pressure and the often tragic consequences of online grooming.
A dark and compelling start to Khaliq’s Mafia Kingpin series, Kill or be Killed is certainly recommended..
A compelling and persuasive read that explores the foundations of unconditional love, the dictates of faith and the ever resounding echo of hope, Gordon has delivered a gem of a page-turner that is recommended without reservation.
When Captain Warwick “Wil” Clifton offers to assist the Romany family he has injured, he’s unprepared for the warmth of Romany camaraderie, and he is nowhere near ready for the force of nature that is Princess Syeira Brishen.
In our quest for an answer to the question ‘’Why do we love Superheroes?’’, we wanted to gain the perspective of ‘’we’’- the humans, and the psychology behind why we are drawn to these recognisable but otherworldly creatures.
The magical allure of time travel has held a fascination for the layman and scientist alike. Indeed, no well-read individual can think of time travel without their mind creeping back to H.G Wells.
