In some of her novels, she has given the description about the real gangster underworld present in London, which carry out secret operations in the criminal world.

Readers who are familiar with the authors' previous books won't be shocked by the violence and swearing, but those new to her work should be warned!

After a long delay, Loyalty finally arrived and before anyone reacts, I do understand the reasons behind it and hope Martina is doing well, so back to the book, Loyalty is a phrase that’s thrown in regularly and it has different meanings to a lot of the characters but the true definition is what Dara shows to those that matter to her, it’s difficult to know which of the authors wrote which part as they blended so well together, it’s gritty and hard to read in places and shows humanity at it’s absolute worst and yet despite that the three friends stick together and get through.The unique style of writing of Cole can be seen in all her novels, as most of them feature a female as the main protagonist or as an antihero. Her descriptive writing brings you into the story and relates you to the troubled characters of the book. At Holly Brookes Children's Home, the two girls unite in the face of horrific abuse and form an unbreakable bond of loyalty. It soon becomes clear the killer is on their doorstep and as the body count grows, Kate and Annie face a race against the clock.
