Anna Davis #4
Fierce Girl
Fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and Jessie Keane will be hooked by Fierce Girl.
When loyalty is everything, betrayal hits harder.
Anna Davis has grown up. She’s not the naive runaway who escaped her vicious gangland boyfriend anymore. She’s tougher than ever and she won’t let anyone take advantage of her – or the people she loves.
Anna’s devoted boyfriend, East End baron Freddie Tyler, is in trouble. There’s a rat in his organisation and he needs to stop the leaks before a very big mistake from his past is revealed to people who will want swift and brutal revenge.
Anna wants to help Freddie but she’s got problems of her own. Her best friend Tanya’s mother has turned up, and is staking a claim on Tanya’s share of their club. With Tanya buying her mum’s reformed sinner act, Anna knows she needs to act before both their friendship and Club Anya goes up in flames.
But if there’s one thing Anna and Freddie have learned, it’s how to play the game, and as their enemies close in they’ll fight with everything they’ve got to protect the life they’ve built.

Emma Tallon has written another gripping gritty tale packed with fabulous characters! This is the fourth book in the Anna Davis series. While this book certainly could be read as a standalone I’d strongly encourage you to read the entire series it is well worth your time. Anna is still grieving from a tragedy that happened at the end of the previous book. Her business is thriving, but her BFF/business partner Tonya’s mother Rosie is in town. Anna is suspect of Rosie‘s intentions and is not buying that she is back to help out her daughter. Meanwhile anna’s boyfriend Freddy Who is somewhat of a mob boss once again find himself in danger.
This book was fast paced and had my heart racing throughout. The story was a little dark and some parts were a bit gruesome, definitely not for the faint of heart. BUT these characters are so amazing and really got under my skin. Anna stole my heart in the first book and I have loved seeing her grow from an abuse victim to a strong self-sufficient woman. I was keeping my fingers crossed for Tonya throughout this story, and once again I just love the bond between these girls. Freddie once again reminded me of Sonny Corinthos, such a lovable thug. The relationship between Anna and Freddie is still strong. Anna is definitely FIERCE and in this book she was fighting for those she loves. Another great installment in the series that once again left me wanting more!

Anna Davis #4
Things are going from bad to worse for the main characters in this series. Tanya's mother has turned up after all these years, playing the ever loving mother and helping Tanya on her road to recovery. Anna does not trust Rosie(Tanya's mother). This book starts off where the last book (Boss Girl) left off. Anna is still grieving over her miscarriage. Freddie's business is suffering and a police raid costs him a lot of money. Then, Mafia boss, Joe Vito comes to find his missing stooge, Frankie. If you read the last book you will know what happened to him. I was on the edge of my seat while reading this latest instalment to the Anna Davis series. It's one roller coaster read with many twist and turns. It has ad ark and gruesome storyline but I wouldn't expect anything less from Emma Tallon. This is a terrific series, so if you haven't already, read this series from the first book. You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this book.

Fierce Girl is the fourth book in the Anna Davis gangland series, and this is the best instalment so far but each of the books are gritty and gripping. There's never a dull moment and the non-stop high-octane action makes it an unputdownable page-turner. Each book can be read as a standalone but to be honest, this is such a powerful and thrilling set of novels that you are likely to want to read them all. Tallon makes this possible by filling new readers in with the relevant information and backstory.
It is a brutal world these characters inhabit but the fact that they stick together through thick and thin against their enemies is inspiring to see. There are characters you love as well as many you love to hate. This is one of those rare books that you desperately want to rush through because it is so damn addictive but that you also wish to savour. I had a real hard time trying to read it slower. If you enjoy fast-paced family dramas mixed with the harshness of the gangland environment then you cannot pick a better book of series than this. Simply superb! Many thanks to Bookouture for an ARC.

We have had Runaway, Boss, Dangerous and now Fierce in this powerful and gripping series about Anna Davis.....as a series they run perfectly BUT importantly you can read Fierce as a stand alone ( and am pretty sure you will be ordering the first 3 after ) the author gives enough info to let you what has gone before and as say Fierce carries on where Dangerous finished
I LOVE the series, not a massive ‘series’ reader it has to be said but I look forward to Anna and family and friends ( and enemies ) latest exploits and dramas
I think this is probably my favourite of the series so far ( although as said love them all ) and the story is fast and furious and real and theres not a paragraph wasted without action, plotting or something happening, sonetimes in this genre chapters can be spun out with words but not so with these books as something happens constantly!
You never quite know what to expect but you can expect the unexpected, its at times harshly realistic, brutal even but theres always the family bond that gives the story warmth and depth
I loved Rosie in this book, Anna’s friend Tanyas errant Mum who turns up on the scene, her character is superbly awful and her narrative excellent, I loved to hate her!
The book weaves a spell as you are brought into the family and its good, bad and badder(!) carryings on and for me its flawless as a story all the way through
You can probably tell I really do love this series and this book and if your a fan of gangland/family dramas you will love it, if you’ve never tried one this is the book to start!
10/10 5 Stars

Emma Tallon has definitely became a force to be reckoned with in this genre and Fierce Girl might just be the best book of hers so far. What I enjoy most about this series is its strong and believable characters. Whilst it’s a dark read in places with some brutal and gruesome scenes, it does at times lack some of the grittiness of early Martina Cole or Kimberley Chambers earlier work however the characters come to life on the page and I have loved following their stories so far and can’t wait to read more. Fierce Girl has everything you could want from a gangland novel, and even has the Mafia making their way to London in search of what happened to one of their associates. Freddie’s got his work cut out for him in this story that’s for sure. I also loved the new dynamic that Anna and Tanya’s friendship faced and how both of them had to realise things about themselves and the other that have lay hidden for the years they have known one another. With another fantastic ending that leaves you wanting more, I am already eagerly awaiting the next story and can’t wait to read about these characters again.

I have not read the first book, so I cannot comment on the continuity. But this story has solid characters. Anna's character is really well written and so strong. Her bullshit meter is pretty accurate and extremely impressive. I liked the friendship between Anna and Tanya.
So, this books has 2 parallels. One, is Freddie, working on the leak in his organization and covering up the mafia crime which I guess happened in the previous book. He is pretty crafty and that's what helped him in the end.
The second plot was that of Anna and a recovering Tanya, and Tanya's mother. This one was a pretty solid one too. The plot progressed at a good speed, so at no point were you bored.
The end was pretty interesting and I particularly enjoyed Freddie's cover up. Overall, I think if you have followed the series, then you won't be disappointed.

After how the previous book ended in the series, I have been dying to catch back up with Tanya, Anna and Freddie and boy, I wasn’t disappointed!
If I thought things were bad enough for the three main characters in the last book, well the author takes it up another level in Fierce Girl.
Like Anna, I was very dubious at Tanya’s mother turning up after many years playing the perfect mum of which is nothing like the nasty piece of work she was when Tanya was growing up. I did enjoy getting to know more of Tanya’s background though and what sort of life she had endured as a child. I think it makes you understand more the person who she became and is today.
I had to feel so sorry for Freddie. Just as things look like they are getting back to normal he is hit in more ways than one. I have to admit, with one of his issues I couldn’t see anyway out and it had me turning those pages just to see how it was all going to end. I think I read the majority of the novel with my heart in my mouth as I was so on edge.
Fierce Girl is a truly gripping, nail biter of a read that not only gets you on the edge of your seat but keeps knocking you off it! There are some very nasty surprises in store which made for some very tense reading and whilst I was at times scared to read more as I really wasn’t sure how Anna and Freddie were going to deal with their problems, I was compelled to keep on going. A must read for fans of Martina Cole and Casey Kelleher.
My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

Emma Tallon is fast becoming one of my favourite authors and once I hear she has a new book coming out I’m so excited to read it . Fierce Girl which is book 4 in the Anna Davis series is one brilliant read . This is another tense and gripping read and it had me on the edge of my seat many times through the story . I would recommend you read the other books in this fantastic series to get to know the characters and their backgrounds .

I am certain avid readers know this feeling : you want to finish a book because it has a hold on you and won't let you put it down,. On the other hand you want to extend the reading pleasure by putting it away for a bit, but you can't resist for too long. The story pulls you back time and time again.
Well, I can honestly say that is exactely what this series does to me. I have to admit I did not read book 1 yet, but the moment I found out about this series, I was hooked, seriously hooked.
People who have read the other reviews I wrote about them might remember that I fell in love with Freddie as soon as I met him. I can say that our 'relationship' is still going strong, very strong. I would marry him on the dot ;)
So, yes, dear Emma, you did it again!
Line up some 'boxes' labelled 'nail biting', 'heartbreaking', 'fierce', 'chills running down the spine' and let Emma do the mixing. I assure you she will come up with a mind blowing, utterly gripping and smashing story.
5 big, fat, shiny stars (and for Freddie as well lol). This is a series I do not ever want to end. Even after 100 books I would still be not ready to say goodbye to him (or any of the other characters).
Thank you, Emma Tallon, Bookouture and Negalley.

For readers of the Anna Davis series, no doubt
Fierce Girl
had been highly anticipated. However, as you read the pages of this book, you will find that it does well as a standalone novel. As the story begins Anna comes across as a strong woman. A woman who managed to survive a dangerous boyfriend - to the point that she almost lost her life. Now she is in a good relationship with Freddie Tyler, who runs a very successful criminal organization. Freddie loves Anna to distraction.
However, her best friend Tanya has managed to survive an awful attack. Barely. She is still in a coma and her only visitor was Anna. Anna is devastated by what happened to Tanya. So much so that she closes off her her heart to Freddie, keeping him at arm's length. Meanwhile, Tanya's mother Rosie shows up at the hospital and reinserts herself in Tanya's life after years of estrangement.
Rosie has a plan. A disastrous one as far as Anna is concerned. Rosie decides that she should be part owner to Club Anya - a club both Tanya and Anna own. The dynamic at this point in the book is nothing less than shocking. This puts a strain on Anna and Tanya's relationship, and by extension, Freddie's and Anna.
I found this book to be rather tragic. I felt, as I have in every single book in this series, very drawn to Anna. She is a warrior and is indeed the perfect mate to Freddie. However, in the pages of this book her trauma, and ultimate coping, is very dramatic and even made me draw tears. Freddie, however much he didn't understand what was happening, proved to be the strong hero he has always been.
The emotional edge of this story is finely balanced with the never-ending danger and spell-binding action that presents itself to Freddie and his family. Their enemies have nothing to hide and nothing to lose, proving that they will do anything they can to take Freddie down, no matter who gets hurt.
The first three books are Dangerous Girl, Runaway Girl and Boss Girl. Each book in the series is compelling and explores the pasts of Anna, Freddie and Tanya. As a true fan of Emma Tallon I definitely recommend not only this book, but each and every one prior to this. Fierce Girl is just the sort of book you must read from cover-to-cover, in one sitting, no matter what life throws at you. I look forward to the next book in this captivating series.

I was so excited to receive a copy of Fierce Girl after the last instalment Boss Girl I couldn’t wait to read it.
Continuing from the last book Tanya is still in a coma and Anna is still coming to terms with the kidnapping and the loss of her child. Every dayre she visits Tanya in hospital waiting for the day when she wakes up. She also spends most of the time, trying to keep Club Anya going and blotting out the memories of what they went through together. When Tanya has a surprise visitor, her evil mother Rosie, who was very abusive to Tanya as a child and blamed her for the death of her husband. When Tanya wakes up. Tanya thinks that Rosie has changed and wants a life with her daughter. But Anna is not so sure about that. Something doesn’t add up. Anna is very wary, when Tanya returns to work and Rosie sticks her nose into the business, that makes Anna’s blood boil.
This is another brilliant instalment in the Anna Davis series. A bit darker and more gruesome then the previous novel. Not only about gangs but about family and loyalty and being there for each other, no matter what. I loved this I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for book 5.
Thank you NetGalley and Bookoutre for a copy of this book.

This is book four in the Anna Davis series and having now read the book, I am thrilled to say that it is another brilliant addition to an already outstanding series!!
I really enjoy this author’s books and her writing style is excellent. She makes the books very enjoyable, gripping reads and they are very hard to put down! Her characterisation is excellent, the character she has created are very believable and I really enjoy reading about them.
This is also fine to read as a stand-alone so you don’t need to worry if you haven’t read the previous books as can dive right in with this one, but I am sure after reading this story, you will want to get your hands on the other books in the series!
It is another 5 star read for me from this author – it is one I will be very highly recommending and I thought it was an additive and thoroughly enjoyable read!!

What a rollercoaster of a ride this book is,it is always good to follow the story of Freddie,Paul,Anna and Tanya in the world they live.Now as Anna waits for Tanya to come out of the coma she has been in since being shot and left to die by her ex-boyfriend Tom.Anna is still living with the hurt of losing the baby she was carrying and the hurt of ending Freddies brother's life.There is a shock in store when Tanya's Mother arrives on the scene.I can highly recommend Emma's book well worth 5*.

After the dramatic end of the previous book, this jumps straight in….
Tanya’s mum, Rosie, arrives to help her daughter, she’s the perfect mum, isn’t she? But this puts Anna and Tanya’s friendship to the test…..will it survive?
It was interesting to learn more of the backgrounds of both Anna and Tanya……character building? To say the least.
Freddie is still Freddie, still carrying on ‘business’ and the mafia are back too with lots of insights into the violent gangland scene. But, as usual things never run smoothly in this nail biter of a thriller. Gritty, tense and will you on tenterhooks right to the very end….I’m already looking forward to the next in the series…

Tanya’s mum, Rosie, arrives to help her daughter, she’s the perfect mum, isn’t she? But this puts Anna and Tanya’s friendship to the test…..will it survive?
It was interesting to learn more of the backgrounds of both Anna and Tanya……character building? To say the least.
Freddie is still Freddie, still carrying on ‘business’ and the mafia are back too with lots of insights into the violent gangland scene. But, as usual things never run smoothly in this nail biter of a thriller. Gritty, tense and will you on tenterhooks right to the very end….I’m already looking forward to the next in the series…

Ooh I love this series!
This is yet another fantastic read and I was hooked from the first few pages.
Anna is still getting over the shock of what happened and whilst she’s putting on a brave front, Freddie knows she’s not completely herself.
With Tanya’s life hanging in the balance last time, we start the book with her in a coma. Anna is there by her side every day and is desperate for her best friend to pull through.
Freddie has his hands full with a rat amongst the team, and also the Mafia on his back as Frank’s disappearance hasn’t gone unnoticed.
This book was so addictive, I couldn’t put it down.
It’s a great action packed crime thriller with brilliant characters.
I can’t wait for the next one!

I couldn't leave this down, I stayed up late and woke up early to finish it. As usual Emma has written a story that keeps you guessing to the end and wanting more when finished. Hopefully it won't be long before book five is written. I would like to thank the publishers and netgalley for letting me have the book to review and the opinions expressed are entirely my own views and are completely unbiased.

Absolutely loved this book and it’s characters I have got to know them in previous book so this book was amazing with all the same characters and seeing what’s going on in their lives.The storyline has lots of twists and runs And keeps you on your toes at all times not knowing what was going to happen next and left you not wanting to put your kindle down..I would definitely recommend this book and I can’t wait for more by this author.

Absolutely loved every minute of this book. I’m angry with myself that it too me so long to discover Emma Tallon, but I’ve made up for it by reading the whole series in the last few weeks. Can’t wait for the next instalment

Fierce by name fierce by nature
Tanya recovery is slow but she is determined that nothing is going to stop her even when her mother shows up and wants to be part of Tanyas life. Anna smells a rat but is she wrong for a change. Blood is thicker than water

Fierce Girl – Emma Tallon
I know I’ve said it before but honestly if you like Martina Cole, Jessie Keane or Kimberly Chambers then Emma Tallon is for you! This series has been excellent start with Runaway Girl (prev Life game) and get ready for a rollercoaster ride through the murky underworld of London gangs, drugs, girls and last but not least betrayal…
At the end of the last book we left Tanya in a coma we come back to her still in a coma with Anna visiting her every day waiting hoping that each day she would come round. Happily she does but damn does Tanya get a surprise by way of a visitor, the very last person you’ll think off. I did find myself getting a tad irritated at Tanya once or twice in the book; the only reason I could think she allowed things to go as they did was a kind of wishful thinking.
Anna and Freddie haven’t come through their troubles unscathed, Anna is still grieving for their lost child and the fact that she may never conceive again then she still feels guilty about killing Freddies brother Michael. Anna’s mood isn’t improved with the bloody awful atmosphere between her and Tanya. The arrival of Tanyas mother Rosie (she’s a first class biatch) who appears to be intent on driving a wedge between the girls and she’s managing to succeed. There’s trouble at the club with the ‘girls’ or rather one specific girl, which in turn leads Anna and Tanya to expand their business empire in a way they never thought they would.
As for Freddie it seems that the poop is still rolling down hill towards him. The business is suffering hits from all direction there’s a police raid causing him to lose a shipment of alcohol amongst other things, when it’s all added together he begins to think there’s got to be a rat in the organisation and he can’t have that. Enter stage left Sarah Riley private investigator extraordinaire and Freddie offers her a job checking out his closest friends and family.
Mafia boss Joe Vito comes to town determined to find Frankie his missing stooge. We already know that he’s ‘swimming with the fishies’ as the saying goes. Meeting with Joe, Freddie who obviously can’t tell them the truth has to think on his feet and feed them false information in a vain attempt to cover his own part in the disappearance. And what a solution he finds in the end, I literally gasped when I realised who, what, where and when.
It would be too easy to keep typing and to put spoilers out there so I’m going to stop now. What I would suggest is if you want to find out more either pre-order or put it on your wish list you honestly won’t regret it.

Emma My Lovely.........You've done it again................Just Brilliant!
Fierce Girl is the fourth book in the Anna Davis gangland series, and it was just a brilliant read. I was hooked yet again from the first few pages and I just wanted to read it through the night to see what happens to Anna, Tanya and Freddie.
There's a new character called Rosie who is Tanya's Mother.......Boy she was a strong character and played her part very well in this excellent book. You find out why Tanya is what she is today, You read about the relationship she had with her Mother Rosie when she was younger...........Rosie has come onto the scene, after not having any contact with her daughter for many years!
Rosie, comes over to be a perfect supportive mother to Tanya now, when she was recovering from being shot etc from the last book Dangerous Girl.
What Is she after?
Luckily Anna smells a rat and watches Rosie very closely. Thats what Friends are For!!!!
Freddie, is just Freddie..........He's carrying on, as Business as usual in the gangland scene. He's a brilliant character who I would love to have on my side. He's Loyal to his family and close friends. But Don't cross him..............You will see the real Freddie..........The Mafia are now here looking for one of their own who has disappeared!
As usual things are getting gritty and tense for everyone and will they get through this?
This Book is darker and more gruesome than Emma's other novels. Plus was her best so far in this series.
I loved this I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for book 5.
Books in Order by Emma in this Anna Davis Series:
1. Runaway Girl.
2. Boss Girl.
3. Dangerous Girl.
4. Fierce Girl.
Big Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for an advanced readers copy of this book.
All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

OMG love love love this series, got so excited when I saw that Fierce Girls was out!!! Anna and Freddie are still reeling from the last episode (won't delve any further into it for fear of ruining something for someone looking to start this from the beginning with Runaway Girl!!) and Tanya is still in a coma since being shot and left for dead, her estranged mother, Rosie turning up at the hospital to "begin again", the Mafia on the trail of the disappearance of Frankie and determined to shed blood and get pay back..... so much going on in this book, I just couldn't put it down, I love Anna and Freddie and just hoping Anna can get past her demons from the fall out with Freddie's brother and losing the baby. We also get more insight into Tanya, unlucky in love and could her luck finally change and she now has a caring mother in her life, its what she always wanted, a mother that would be proud of her and after everything she has been through, she more than deserves it.
As is the norm, you are on tenterhooks the whole time through this read, full of twists and turns, dark and gruesome in places but what you would expect when dealing with the underworld, drugs, prostitution, mafia etc. I cannot praise this book or this series enough, roll on the next one! Thanks Emma Tallon, you've really hit the nail on the head with this series for me.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Fierce Girl
by Emma Tallon
Bookouture
Mystery & Thrillers
Pub Date 21 May 2019
I am reviewing a copy of Fierce Girl through Bookoture and Netgalley:
When loyalty seems to be everything betrayal only hits harder.
Anna Davis is grown up now, she’s no longer the naive runaway who escaped her vicious gangland boyfriend anymore. She’s tougher than she has ever been and she refuses to let anyone take advantage of her or her loved ones.
Anna’s devoted boyfriend East End baron Freddie Tyler is in trouble. It seems there is a rat in his organization and he must discover who it is and stop them before a giant mistake from his past is revealed and people want to take revenge on him, quick and brutal revenge.
Anna wants to help Freddie but she’s found herself dealing with Tanya’s Mother Whose staking a claim on Tanya’s share of the club. And Tanya is buying her Mom’s reformed sinner act Anna needs to act before their friendship as well as Club Anya goes up in smoke.
If there is one thing Freddie and Anna have learned it is how to play the game. As there enemies close in on them they will discover just how far they are willing to go to protect everything they have worked for.
I found Fierce Girl to be suspenseful with well developed characters and worthy of four out of five stars!
Happy Reading!

Fierce Girl is another Bookouture hit, scheduled for release on 05/21/19. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!
Anna is a mess. After recent tragic events, she and her boyfriend Freddie are certainly not on the same page. Freddie is dealing with loss in his businesses and a rat in the family, while Anna is trying to reconnect with her best friend Tanya after she suddenly wakes up from a 2 month coma. Anna and Tanya would typically be inseparable, but the arrival of Tanya's terrible mother is putting a strain on their friendship. Together, Anna and Freddie try to seal up the leaks and help Tanya see her mother for who she really is before it's too late.
I'm not one for mob/mafia books, but I was glued to Freddie's fights with other families. This was the first Anna Davis book I've read, but I definitely plan to go back and read the first 3. This book had a good enough recap for what happened previously, but it actually made me want to read it more! I loved the twist at the end. I kept trying to guess who was causing all of the problems and I definitely didn't identify the correct culprit. I love when that happens!
If you like mystery, thriller, or mafia books you're in for a treat with Fierce Girl. Pick it up when it is released 05/21/19!

This book picks up from where we left our beloved protagonists at the end of Boss Girl and takes us through its aftermath. This is by far my favourite so far in this series. The plot is perfectly spun and kept me guessing til the very end and the characters had a new dimension added to them making them even more real than before. I genuinely feel like I know Freddie, Anna and Tanya now as close friends yet I still have no idea what they might achieve or get up to next.
As always from this author, it’s a book you can’t put down. The last few chapters had me torn between desperate for answers and not ready for it to end.
Emma Tallon is maturing as a writer and has firmly established herself as one of the best crime writers of our generation. I love the Tyler series and can’t wait for more, more, more!!! The storylines of the series fit alongside each other perfectly to keep building a detailed world in which they live but each can still be read stand alone. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Freddie, Anna, Tanya and their crews.

Worth the wait !
Oh, definitely "worth the weight" I couldn't stop reading this one, as again written so brilliantly by Emma. I'd highly recommend to anyone who likes crime thrillers a plenty, on our own side of the pond. Yes Emma brings the bad guys, from over the Ocean, but does so with plenty of scope, they are needed in a small way. But not, all the way - Freddie and his family can and do control the underworld, and "family" are not always blood !
I'm so glad Tanya made it through eventually, and so did Anna, just so so sorry for her sadness, to which I can relate to in real life. A couple of snakes in the grass, but they got "turned out" eventually ! An lovely Seamus, what an absolute pleasure he is to know, he'll go far with Freddie as his leader.... Already looking forward to the next book Emma, so I hope your tapping away at your computer, getting things ready for book 5.

This takes off from the last book. Anna is trying to overcome her anxiety from what had happened and dealing with Tanya being in a coma. Then Tanya's mother comes to the hospital saying how sorry she was for the way she treated Tanya as a child. That she stopped drinking and changed. But Anna doesn't believe her and this puts a wedge between the 2 best friends.
Meanwhile Freddie finds out he has a leak in his organization and he needs to find out who it is. Also the mafia is after him because another Mafia king has gone missing in Freddie's territory. Then he hires ex DI to help him.
I may not like the lifestyle of the mafia and organized crime but the family and friendships in this series makes you want to be a part of them. They stick to each other and are there for each other no matter what as long as you do not cross them. Then you better wish you had never been born.
