This is a well-written crime thriller. The second in a series, it picks up with a kidnapping and quickly turns into a twisting, turning path of betrayal, love and loyalty. Full of small details that make you feel right in the middle of the action, this was a book that I didn't want to put down. Excellent character development and dialogue that flowed and felt natural.

Those of you who follow my blog will know that I have recently been sent the Just Call Me Angel books to review. I do tend to stick to chick lit usually as it is light, easy reading but I cave Tetterbaum’s Truth a try and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it so much so I have just finished reading the second book Traitors Among Us. Did I enjoy it......... Well I finished it in 5 hours so I think that answers that question!
Plot
With Tetterbaum’s Truth revealed and her true identity exposed, Angel Martin tries to adjust to her radically new role as head of the Chicago Maratinzano family. Unfortunately, Mafia life offers little down time.
The sudden kidnapping of her mother and Aunt Olga leads Angel on a path to a past she’s never known and an adversary she is unable to find. When an FBI mob bust against her family is fuelled by administration level information, Angel turns to the other Chicago Bosses for answers; but every trail dead ends and every person is not who they seem.
Racing to save the people she loves most, Angel must learn to trust her instincts, even when she comes face-to-face with the scariest truth yet… there are Traitors Among Us.
My Opinion
Traitors Among Us is a great follow on from the first book. The pace of the book was a little slower with this one but I think it worked well in this book as we are introduced to many more characters so it gives us time to get to know who is who. One of the new characters we meet in this book is Sophia who is Angels mum and her character gives the same feeling as Angel so we warm to her right from the first chapter.
I did miss Olga’s character in this book although she does appear at times in it she was the one who gave the first book the humorous part which is missing in this book but not having the humour made the book seem a little darker and on edge.
The element of suspense is back again in this book which gives such an adrenalin rush whilst reading I felt like I had been sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time whilst reading this book! During the whole of the book I felt the same feelings that Angel was having and that is who can you trust? Who is the good guys and who are the bad guys? This is what truly makes it a page turner.
There is a real mix of content in this book including crime, suspense, romance and mystery and of course the Mafia! I love the fact that right the way through book one and two there are no dull, low parts of the books they are action packed right the way through.
The book has clearly been left open at the end to allow another book to follow on. I still stand by what I said in the first review and that these books will be made into a film and I am sure they will be a great hit.
I cannot recommend this book and in fact this series highly enough it is a little diamond waiting to be found so give this one a try.

Again an amazing story full of secrecy, mystery and betrayal within the Bravata organization and leads to attacks from past acquaintance for revenge. There were so many unexpected turns in this novel, stuff I never saw coming and leaves the reader on edge with anticipation.I pulled an all-nighter and read in just 1 sitting as I could not put it down, eager to know what way I would be taken next. This is one of the most talented author I have come across, mainly because her writing is so real and original that you can’t help but fall in love with her stories. It takes a lot to put your work out there for the world to consume or pick at it in pieces but this story had so many twists, turns and the unexpected, it truly an explosive mafia type suspense/thriller. Angel continue to learn about her past as well as the outs and ins of the mafia organization. She was surprised with an attack on her and her mother(Sophie) and Aunt Olga was kidnapped. I just love the feisty OLGA, she is my kind of woman. The characters in this book are amazingly written, and the sexual tension between Andrew and Angel is so sizzling hot it was a time bomb just waiting to explode at any giving time. The author immersed readers once again in the underworld of crime and betrayal, and I must say I kind of liked it a lot! I highly recommend this series and don't understand why more haven't read this series, and I say KUDOS to this author. PLEASE give us more!!!

This second book in the "Just Call Me Angel" series starts off sucking you in with the first sentence. Claridge is a incredible author with such great flow, you're finish this book within days, if not one day; and then be hungrily awaiting the next in the series. Thankfully Claridge does not disappoint and quickly turns around another book in the series with a few months.
If you love drama, thriller or suspense this is the book for you. If you're wanting a read you can finish in a short period of time - this is the book for you. You'll be enraptured with this ongoing story of a woman mafia leader and how she handles her new found identity and role in the scheme.
Highly recommend.

I think I liked this book even better than the first one in the series. This one starts with a bang and never slows down. Great read!
