Southside Sinners

Cultures Collide #2

by Keith Rommel

In this sequel to "You Killed My Brother," twins Emily and Hannah lived a relatively normal life despite their parents having been killed during a highly publicized street war with a ruthless street gang called the Southside Sinners when they were children. Raised by their aunt, the only surviving member of their family, life eventually returned to normal and carried on as usual.

The two girls, Hannah, now a CPS worker, and Emily, a police officer, work hard at trying to right the wrongs of the world they were subjected to. But, when fate comes knocking again twenty years later, the two girls, their aunt, and an entire town are catapulted into a second war with the once thought disbanded Southside Sinners. Chance seems to have locked the two sides in a predetermined battle until only one side is left standing…

Reviews

[Clazzzer C · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a gripping read, a follow on from the first in the series, highlights the devastating effects that gangland crime can have on children, their families, their localities and their neighbourhoods. Rather than being negatively tainted by their experiences Emily and Hannah used their loss to better themselves and give back to society. They dedicate their lives to helping make life more bearable for others affected in the same way that they were. This is so real, engrossing and hard hitting. It was a great read and would also make a great movie, as would its prequel. I really am looking forward now to the next instalment.
