Betrayal
By Martina Cole
⭐️⭐️
Aiden O'Hara has been head of the family since he was a kid, and he's going to keep it that way.
Jade Dixon watches his back. Mother of his son, she's the one who makes him invincible.
But Jade's been in the game a lot longer than Aiden. She knows no one's indestructible.
And when you're at the top, that's when you've got to watch the hardest.
Especially the ones closest to you . . .
I usually love a Cole book but this one just didn’t do anything for me! I found it kinda repetitive and predictable. Which is such a shame as I was so looking forward to it. I had no care for any of the characters at all I think it was kind of a cop out with Agnes and her part in this story I thought she could have been a bit more than she was. Overall it was just an ok read.

Dec 9, 2022
Leo is a highly regarded businesswoman that has fought tooth and nail for what she has. She has done things she's not proud of to protect the ones she loves, her mother - who is in a maximum security prison - ends up in a coma through an overdose of an illegal substance. It's up to Leo and the few people she trusts to get to the bottom of what happened.
This book is not for the faint-hearted there is quite a bit of dark stuff in here that could be a trigger for some people as there is abuse mentioned. I did enjoy the story once I got into it. I just found it a bit backward and forward to start with but then you travel farther into the story and it gets easier to comprehend.
A recommendation by me.

That forms an early part of this graphic novel, up to about - roughly- the half way mark.
As I said before when I read and reviewed book 1 Frank Herbert's DUNE: The Graphic Novel, Book 1, my only exposure to the Dune tale beforehand was that 2021 film (although I knew the broad strokes: desert planet, Spice, giant Sandworms), so I do feel it will be interesting to see, when part 2 of the movie series comes out, just how close it sticks to this graphic novel. Especially as, apparently (and as the foreword says), the authors and illustrators of this have tried to stick as close as possible to Frank Herbert 's original text as possible ...
