The Kennedy Twins Book 1
Meet the Kennedy twins and get ready for trouble!
Twin sisters Lily and Daisy Kennedy live a life ruled by their controlling father, Des. Desperate to salvage his own shattered dreams, he forces his girls to perform in seedy London club, Eden’s, in the hopes they will finally hit the big time.
Their double act instantly pulls in the punters, but in the shadow of the spotlights, danger lurks. Lily, the golden girl, is stressed out by their new life, but rebellious Daisy relishes the freedom and excitement it brings.
But when Daisy is spotted by renowned club owner Samson Fox, she’s dragged into a gangland world filled with threats and menace. And when Lily is kidnapped from the club, Daisy realises that she has brought trouble to their door – trouble only she can fix.

Review
Two exiting things before I even opened the book. This is a new author for me and I am honored to be able to read the first book in a new series.
Lily and Daisy are identical twins on the outside, but they could not be more different on the inside. Lily is the quiet one and Daisy makes noise enough for both of them and where twins normally have an unbreakable bond, these two girls are most certainly not the best of friends and there are only two people to blame for that.
Whilst trying to make an honest income, they find themselves in a few seedy and even outright dangerous situations. The question is: how will they handle it without landing themselves even deeper in it or is this wishful thinking?
For me gangland crime stories have to be brutal and I honestly have to say it was maybe all a bit to soft for me. I missed the vicious boss and the scheming, with twists and turns that make my head spin. But on the other hand I also have to admit, the book intrigued me and I had a good time reading it.
I also had the feeling this was the warming up and I think and hope the heat will be turned on in the next book. So, yes, I cannot wait to find out where the second book will take me and I can only say this story had an I-want-more kind of vibe.
This book gets a well deserved 4 stars, because at the moment it misses a bit of pizzaz for me, but I have the feeling the author is going to open a can of spices to add the next ones.
Thank you
