A review by bookingbonkers
Empires and Kings by A.C. Bextor

5.0

This book was an extremely intense and gripping read from start to finish! It has a brilliant storyline to it and reflects the brutal, harsh mafia lifestyle very well.

The characters are great, even the male lead who can at times be overbearing and a bit much. But he has his reasons that are unfortunately proved by some tragic occurrences in the story. He is the ultimate alpha male character. I really like how the romance element to this story isn't all that romantic as that would of made no sense and destroyed a gritty and raw story.

When I got to the end of this book, I realised that it is the first of a series and the ending promises so much more to come. I cannot wait to read the next one and the ending of this book seems to only be a build up to a new and higher level of intensity to this tale.

This author, I feel, is certainly one to watch out for and soak up as much of their work as I can.
