Envy has led to this. I saw it coming, knew it was inevitable. We all did. No one wanted to stop it. Now, blood flows like a river in Chicago. And the streets are only going to get bloodier. A war that’s been brewing between the families has begun. The first shots have already been fired. The only question is…who will survive it?
Bleeding Envy is the fifth book in the Deadliest Sin Series about organized crime in Chicago. It is not a standalone and the series does need to be read in order.
Damn Gwyn is the Queen of the mind blowing cliffy! WOW! I did not see that ending coming and my heart is still racing even thinking about it! I am blown away by this series and I NEEEED to know The Who’s, Why’s and How right now!!!!!
I love the chemistry between Kat & Michael. This book gives us some more background for Michael. The reason he thinks the way he does, and we have fireworks in more ways then one. I can’t wait to get the next book! I was not ready for the ending!
What in the holy hell is happening here? That ending blew me away!
Bleeding Envy starts up right where Envy ended. I have no idea who the good guys are. All I know is I have no idea where I stand on Kat. I haven't decided to trust her or not as of yet. Thanks Ms. McNamee, you have me looking over my proverbial shoulder while reading this book because I can’t trust anyone and now I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
In Bleeding Envy, the plot thickens and Michael is in a mess of trouble. Who can he trust? Can he trust Kat. I seriously HAVE NO IDEA! I am flummoxed by this series because I don't have anything pegged yet. I have suspicions but I don't want those suspicions to be true. I want a happy ending darn it!
Definitely recommend and will definitely keep reading!
Loved the chemistry between Michael and Kat, Lots of twist and turns in this book. We got some answers but also more questions. An Intense, fast paced full of suspense book. Loved it!!
Book Details Holy Hannah! Just when you figure you have a handle on what is going on...wham! Something else crops up and throws you for a loop.
Such a crap way to be brought up. Your heart just breaks for him. He's tough as nails now though.
Nobody is going to get the better of him. Only problem is he doesn't trust his men any longer, one he is trusting(ish) he shouldn't, and he can't figure out who is behind the mess that everyone is blaming on him.
Talk about a wicked life.
Great read that you can get caught up in and leave the cares of the world aside for a while!
Bleeding Envy is the fifth book in The Deadliest Sin series and it picks up where book four Envy left off. Michael is recovering after someone tried to take him out and he wants to know who that person is. This book is an intense read filled with nail biting suspense, mystery, unexpected twists and a cliffhanger that left me wanting more. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
With Bleeding Envy we don’t actually get any answers to any of the questions that arised in Envy. Actually there are even more now. As you read, you are filled with “what’s going on?” “Who did that?” “What’s next, whose next?”. We see the story start off with Micheal injured from the events that happened at the end of Envy. Now he is trying figure out who out of everyone that wants him gone actually tried to do it, while trying to get the business going with Kat. Problem is Micheal doesn’t trust anyone really. Bleeding Envy does leave you with another sit at the edge of your seat cliffhanger. I love reading about Micheal and Kat, the hot chemistry between them. Also I love getting to still see some characters from other stories. We get see more into Micheals past and upbringing.
*You have to start with Envy if you haven’t already, otherwise you will have no idea what is going on. It’s best that you read Wrath series and Inland Seas Series first also.*

This was the second story in the Envy trilogy and what a story it was. Michael is recovering from an ambush in the first installment and trying to figure out who and why they are gunning for him. We are left with more questions than answers. I am looking forward to seeing how things play out as the action is barreling towards an epic conclusion.
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done ❤️
Bleeding Envy is Book 5 in the Deadliest Sin Series. I can honestly say I am speechless after reading this one. I don't know who is good and who is bad. The story of Michael and Kat has my head spinning. I can't wait for Enduring Envy to come out so all the questions can be answered. Gwyn McNamee knows how to leave you hanging on a cliff craving for more.
I’m literally left speechless here. The story this author spins keeps you reeling and spinning out of control at the turn of every page. Someone is trying to get rid of Michael and all he has to do is figure out who almost succeeded. We are left with more questions while sitting on the edge of your seat biting your nails wanting to know what’s going to happen next. Such a great read, loved it. I received a copy of this book.
Wonderful just wonderful. Gwyn did it to us again though. Left us hanging at a very crucial moment. When you were least expecting it. Something huge happens and the next words are "I hope you enjoyed Bleeding Envy" Like that old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon you watched when you were kids. Stay tuned for the next episode. 😂 We should be use to it by now.
Holy frickin’ moly. I am dying for book 3 of the Envy books now. There are some answers to questions I had from Envy, but now I have more questions and questions still unanswered. The good news is at this point that I don’t have to wait long. It’s been a long time since I’ve been at the edge of my seat waiting for a conclusion to a story.
Well, I need Enduring Envy right now! Michael and Kat are playing a dangerous game, but Rose always seems to be a step ahead of them. Can they trust each other enough to see this through? Their chemistry simmers beneath the surface until boom! And whew, did they make some sparks fly! And with that explosive cliffy ending, I'm just dying to know what happens next!
wow this book blew me away reading it! more blood will be spilled and answers left un said. you must read to find out what happens. plus you will be left hanging in this book.
Bleeding Envy by Gwyn McNamee is an electrifying sequel that plunges readers into the heart of a war where loyalty, power, and ambition clash in a relentless battle. Set against the gritty, tension-filled backdrop of Chicago, McNamee expertly captures the visceral consequences of envy turned deadly. The story unfolds with the sharp inevitability of a storm, leaving characters and readers alike on edge as alliances shatter and blood runs freely through the streets.
The pacing is intense, the stakes are higher than ever, and each chapter pulses with danger and intrigue. McNamee’s masterful storytelling ensures that no one is safe, and with every turn of the page, you’re left wondering who will emerge victorious—and at what cost. Fans of dark, high-stakes drama won’t be disappointed by this gripping continuation of the series.
In this book we see the amazing dynamic between Michael and Kat.
Michael is a hardened mobster who doesn't have feelings yet this woman gets under his skin every single time. She cares for him too.
I'm glad to see he survived the first book after what happened!
Their plans for their business venture starts taking shape which will work to the advantage of both parties except for the fact that Michael has 'Rose' as a thorn in his side.
Bleeding Envy is the second novel in the Envy trilogy of The Deadliest Sin series by Gwyn McNamee.
The novella continues to follow Michael Syla and his journey to being the ultimate powerhouse in Chicago...or so he wishes! We shall see how the third novella in the trilogy ends and if Michael and Kat make it to the top!
This book picks up from Envy.so you must read in order. Michael is still hestant on who Kat really is as well as her end game. He is still trying to find out who tried to kill him. He turns to Kat for help. The title is so appropriate for this book. 1more story in this trilogy.
I’ve got to say, I’m hooked on Gwyn’s writing style and how organized each book is. I love the chemistry between the protagonist and deuteragonist, and I love that this book gives us so much insight into the characters’ personalities, thought processes, and intentions.
It is a very short read, but intense and packed with action and wonderful storytelling. Love this series so far!!
Bleeding Envy is the second novella in the Envy Trilogy of the Deadliest Sin Series (#5) by Gwyn McNamee. A series of novellas about five organized crime families, starting in Philadelphia - moving into Chicago and how the seven deadly sins consume their lives.
“Because no one is supposed to get out of here alive.”
Following the previous cliff hanger, Michael is recovering and scouring through his sources to figure out who wants him gone. This information is especially important as someone came pretty close to succeeding in their mission. Kat is still very much entwined in Michael’s life, personally and professionally. We also learn a little bit about the past, which makes this series a well done, full circle experience. And what do you know.. BAM! An explosive ending leaving you on the edge of your seat in typical McNamee fashion.
“We’re both ruthless killers who will do anything to get to the top. The only difference is, I admit it.”
Gwyn does a great job throughout The Deadliest Sin Series with plotting, character development, and pacing while continuously keeping us on our toes and begging for more.
