Very well written, engaging and overall really entertaining. Poor Brooklyn. I loved him from the beginning of the book, right up to the end. I felt so bad for him in so many situations. Fantastic read- plan to read it again.

If I had to choose a word to describe Counterpunch, it would be beautiful. But beauty is a general term. I'm not talking about the good-looking or the skin-deep type of beauty.

Present me with a successful, cunning business man in an expensive suit and a streetwise fighter who can barely control himself, and I'll be as fixated as a cat lurking at a mouse-hole."Will you punch me?" Nathaniel didn't smile, didn't mock him, but there was a tinge of humor. "Or are we done for t...

4.75This was a brutal read. Set in an alternative universe with a very layered and complicated slave society that juxtaposes the freeman one. Did I say brutal? Despite the violence I never found it gratuitous. It was there, it was a part of Brooklyn's life and he dealt with it. Brook was a former co...

From page one you’re immersed and wrapped up in the story of Brooklyn a British ex-copper whose life has gone terribly wrong. We are back in the same universe as Rachel Haimowitz’s [b:Where He Belongs|11277975|Where He Belongs (Belonging, #0.5)|Rachel Haimowitz|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/130457577...
