The Life

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Bailey brothers are gangsters determined to make their mark in the world. Peter and Daniel are chalk and cheese in many ways - Peter's calm exterior belies his ruthless nature, while Daniel's penchant for spectacular violence is legendary - but together they are unstoppable. From the late seventies they rule London's East End and, when their sons join the business, it seems that no one can touch the powerful Baileys. Although it's never easy at the top; there is always someone waiting to take you down - sometimes even those closest to you...Lena Bailey is determined to shield her youngest child Tania from the Life. But when a terrible tragedy occurs, Tania's eyes are opened to their world in a way that forces her to make an irrevocable choice that will determine her future. Martina Cole's gritty and gripping new novel is an unflinching portrait of a family torn apart by violence and betrayal, but ultimately bound by loyalty, by blood, and by a burning desire for revenge...

Another brutal book from Martina this time it’s a full family drama. In all the books she’s written Petey is the one character I was glad to see got what he deserved!

Reading this literally made my skin crawl and stomach churn
I think my heart pounded the entire time I read this book. It's extremely dark, and the level of underlying violence and abuse at times is gratuitous. No doubt it's gripping but you have to keep a strong stomach because it feels like watching a train crash. While it's noticeable by the mid-point that there is something fishy about the protagonist's story, you do want to continue just to find out what happens. I can't say much more without ruining the plot, but hold on to your seat.

Enjoyable Read
I really enjoyed this. It was different, exciting and freaky. The characters were great and it had enough violence to keep me entertained :-) Great book. Personally I would have picked Stalker as the love interest because he's so similar to Deuce and they just 'fit' for me. If I had any faults I would say that it isn't suitable for young adults, as it is very violent and hints on themes that aren't really suitable for that age group. I've just finished the second one and loved it! Bring on the Horde :) So far a great trilogy.

I watched this series in entirety last Monday, as I was intrigued by the synopsis. A TV presenter/representative encouraging violence to up his ratings? It was beyond intriguing. Though, at the end of the series, I wasn't really sure who was telling the truth, and who wasn't. Everyone seemed corrupted. I was also shocked at all of the blood and death that they showed on the television program.
This documentary is completely in Portuguese, so if reading subtitles isn't something you like to do, this wouldn't be for you. Personally, I watch everything with subtitles, so it didn't bother me at all.

Watched a thriller called "Bad Frank" on Amazon. Starred a guy named Kevin Interdonato, with Tom Sizemore as the villain. The acting was ok. As was the cinematography. It's about a guy with a violent past who's "living right" but something happens that reunites him with that past and it causes problems in his present life and he comes unhinged. There's some partial nudity, and some violence so I wouldn't let the kids watch this one. The story unfolds with a couple decent twists and an intense ending. It's not the greatest movie I've seen but it's worth a watch if you're bored.
