The final book in the Carter Brother’s series and every bit as powerful, dramatic and exciting as the 3 previous
In this book everything that was left unsorted, between friends, AND enemies comes to a head and long overdue grievances are battled out
I love the characters in this book and was great to see how these people’s lives played out ( for good and bad!)
This series has been brilliant, pure enjoyment of reading, it is rare I read 3 books of a series one after the other but had no choice as I was hooked
A more than satisfying conclusion to a brutally good series
10/10

After living a gangland life Danny McKay now lives the quite life with his family. Life is good. He is looking forward to celebrating his daughter’s Lexi’s birthday by having a party at his club. But people from his past come back to haunt him and his daughter is accidently shot. The shot that was meant for him.
The Reckoning by Kerry Kaya is the fourth book in the Carter Brothers series. I wasn’t aware of this when I requested it on NetGalley. But I needn’t have worried as I had no problem catching up in the story.
This is a great. fast paced, gangland thriller from the author and I was hooked from the first page. This is the third book from the author I have read, and she never seems to disappoint. I loved it 5 stars from me.

This is the 4th book in this series and it does read well as a standalone as this is the first book I've read in this series. I have, however, read other books by this author and she writes some cracking g gangland thrillers.
Danny has been out of the crime and gang lifestyle for several years. He is a legit businessman and wants to remain that way. His daughter is celebrating her 18th birthday when there is a shooting. Due to his past, Danny tho is this may be linked to him. But who, why and what for is what takes some working out.
The author has created another fabulous read and one that definitely drops you into the murky and dangerous world of gangs and crime. Even though Danny has a past that he has put behind him, it still runs in his blood. The author gradually brings his older acquaintances to the fore didn't and things become tense and full. of suspense. Throughout this story there is never a straightforward answer..people are out for themselves and are trying to keep out of trouble.
I like how the author twists and weaves the character and the storyline. Never knowing who is telling the truth or what their motives keep the suspense up right the way through. Even though the topic is gang crime there is a good amount of loyalty and respect. Having different generations, younger and old school is a great way of showing the different ideals. The impatience is shown and lack of experience is evident as are ideals. While they may not always be legal they certainly make for great reading.
If you are a fan of gangland crime thrillers then this is an author you should keep an eye for. This book is a so fearful twisted read, delving into family loyalties. This isn't too blood and gutsy but there is some violence. I really enjoyed this one and I would definitely recommend it.

The Reckoning by Kerry Kaya is the fourth book in this series but reads just fine as a standalone! This is my first read by Kerry Kaya and I’m impressed! It doesn’t get much better than what this author has created when it comes to gangland thrillers!
Kerry Kaya puts the reader right into the depths of the dangerous world of gang crime. Danny is the perfect main character. While trying to move on with his life, his past doesn’t let him go completely. I enjoyed the way the tension built and built until it was at its boiling point.
It was difficult to tell who was being honest and who wasn’t, which kept the suspense up for me. It was interesting to get a look inside the respect and loyalty of gang crime and their ideals.
Overall, this was a fantastic gangland thriller that I would definitely recommend!

I have been a fan of Kerry’s work for a while now. I haven’t quite caught up with everything that she has written which is something I hope to rectify sooner rather than later. I read the synopsis for ‘The Reckoning’ and it certainly sounded like another amazing read from Kerry. Well it was all that and so much more. I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘The Reckoning’ but more about that in a bit.
‘The Reckoning’ is the fourth book in the series featuring the Carter brothers. It took no time at all to get into ‘The Reckoning’. In fact by the time I got to the end of the synopsis I knew that was reading something special and that I would find it nigh on impossible to put this book to one side for any length of time. So it proved to be. My Kindle wasn’t exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me. I couldn’t bear to miss a single second of the story. I was intrigued by the characters and by the storylines. I had my own theories as to what was going to happen so I had to keep reading to see if I was on the right track or if I had wandered down the wrong path. I became so wrapped up in the story that I lost all track of time and just how quickly I was getting through the book. All too quickly I reached the end of ‘The Reckoning’ and I had to say goodbye to the Carter brothers and the other characters. ‘The Reckoning’ is a tense and gripping tale, which kept me guessing and which kept me on the edge of my seat.
‘The Reckoning’ is superbly written but then I have come to expect nothing less from Kerry Kaya. Kerry has one of those writing styles that is easy to get used to and easy to get along with. For me the story hit the ground running and maintained a fast pace throughout. Kerry describes the characters so vividly and so realistically that they seem just as real as you and I. Reading ‘The Reckoning’ felt like being on an at times scary and unpredictable rollercoaster ride with several twists and turns along the way. I love the way in which Kerry makes the reader feel as though they are part of the story and at the heart of the action.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘The Reckoning’ and I would definitely recommend this book to other readers. I will certainly be reading more of Kerry’s work in the future. The score on the Ginger Bok Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

The final book in the Carter Brothers series, full of drama and deceit.
The Reckoning is the fourth and final book in the Carter Brothers series by Kerry Kaya.
The Reckoning picks up Danny Mckay's story, as we see what his life looks like now after leaving gangland life. An abrupt and shocking incident causes turmoil amongst Danny and his family, and forces Danny to return to the world of violence and deceit he hates most. Danny comes to find out that certain people can't be trusted, and his naivety could have played a part in his family being hurt.
In my review for Top Dog, I mentioned how I struggled with Danny as a character and that led me to struggle with investing in the storyline. In the early stages of The Reckoning, I found myself feeling the same way about Danny. I found him to be incredibly naive, and this is reflected in his new relationship with Maria. However, I appreciate his genuine love for his children, Lexi and Logan, and this love is what drives the plot of the book.
Plot-wise, I found The Reckoning to be much stronger than Top Dog, and I actively wanted to root for Danny to find out the truth and get his revenge. The action and plot twists were done really well, I enjoyed following the conflict play out and eventually get resolved.
I really enjoyed seeing characters from previous books reappear, mainly Moray, Maxine, and Stacey. The sense of familiarity that these characters brought really made the book for me because I wanted to see their stories play out just as much as Danny's. Kerry Kaya writes really complex yet compelling female characters who have a lot to bring to the overall story, whether they are allies or the villains. I feel as though Maxine was the voice of reason in regard to Danny's past, and Stacey was the voice of reason in regard to Danny's future.
Overall, a welcome and fulfilling end to the Carter Brothers series, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the gangland genre.

Bold, ballsy and action-packed, gangland thriller fans will not want to miss the gritty and gripping new novel by Kerry Kaya: The Reckoning.
Former top dog Danny McKay left his life of crime behind – or so he thinks. Having turned his back on his old way of life, all Danny wants now is to remain on the straight and narrow and to provide for his family without breaking the law. Danny is only interested in having a quiet life and is certainly not planning on being sucked back into the criminal underbelly that had once been his domain, but when events spiral out of control, he finds himself with no other alternative but to return to the world he had left behind.
Desperate for vengeance and determined to avenge the harm done to his family, Danny will not rest until he’s achieved his aim. But a lot has changed since he last ruled the roost. With nobody to trust and danger round every corner, Danny is all on his own. Yet, he refuses to be deterred. Nobody is going to stop him from righting old wrongs and destroying those who had dared to cross him. But Danny’s actions could end up costing him dear and he could stand to lose everything – and everyone – he cares about.
Danny was once the top dog, but the rules of the game have changed. Can he triumph against adversity this time around? Or is he on a losing streak that will lead to his own destruction?
Kerry Kaya’s The Reckoning packs plenty of punch and will leave readers on the edge of their seats and with their jaws on the floor reeling from shock after shock and twist after twist. Perfect for Kimberley Chambers fans, The Reckoning is a captivating gangland thriller about family bonds, desperate vengeance and dangerous alliances that is fast-paced, chilling and hard to put down.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

4.5 ⭐️ The Reckoning is the 4th book in the Carter brothers series, and each book has lured me in with a gripping plot line. One of my favourite genres is gangland crime thrillers, and Kerry Kaya is my new ‘go to’ author. Her gritty crime thrillers pull no punches, there raw and authentic. Kaya’s writing has been compared to that of Kimberley Chambers and Martina Cole. There are some similarities, but personally I feel the author has her own unique voice, which brings her books to life.
Danny McKay has left the gangster life behind, but past grudges surface and when Danny and his family are caught up in a shocking event, he’s dragged back into the gangland world he’s left behind. Danny is determined that the people responsible pay, but the rules are different this time around. Old friends are enemies, and Danny doesn’t know who he can trust. And as Danny gets closer to the truth, he realises that the consequences of his own actions could destroy everything and everyone that he holds dear.
With many threads running through the book, there’s much to keep the readers’ attention, which makes for a fast pace, tension filled read. Alex Kaya has created characters that are vibrant and larger than life. Some you will love, others you will hate, the characters are so well developed you can’t help but invest in their life’s. The Reckoning is a story of violence, treachery, loyalty and family ties and although these are familiar themes, the author puts her own spin on them. An explosive, heart thumping finale to what has been a cracking series. Highly recommend.

#blogtour day for this epic gangland thriller The Reckoning by @kerry_kaya_author via @rachelsrandomresources @bookandtonic
REVIEW BELOW ~ 5 STARS
Crikey The Reckoning comes out fighting right from the first word. It completely took my breathe away. The characters are written in a totally believable way. They are tough and there is violence abound but nothing feels unrealistic. This is a tale of every action has a consequence and dire consequences at that.
Danny is a distinguished man who has left the gangland world behind. Now running his club with his best friend, Moray he is happy with the quiet life until his world is literally blown apart, vengeance is on his mind and he’ll stop at nothing to get it. Being dragged back into the old life is not something he wants to do but even he can’t hide the fact that actually he gets a bit of a thrill being in charge again.
The two women in Danny’s life, apart from his daughter are like chalk and cheese. Will he ever see that one of them is most definitely the right woman for him? The other is oh so wrong!
The Reckoning is a thrilling read that keeps you interested right to the end. A true gangland crime book with feuds and family splits all over the shop. It is fast paced and written with a fabulous style that brings the characters and their actions to life. Will Danny get his hands on the culprit? Will he get the revenge that he needs? Quite honestly this book is epic, you really need to grab a copy and be prepared for an action packed experience. You won’t regret it.

Book 4 of this series and even though it was my first one, I had not one single problem in picking up the story. I got the picture straight away. There were a lot of characters I did not know yet of course and it was great fun getting to know them.
People often say: ‘once a criminal, always a criminal’ and that is often very true. But people do can change for the better and turn their lives around although not everybody is convinced they really have changed. They think it’s a façade even when it isn’t.
But then, one night during something that should have been a very happy occasion, disaster strikes. What will they do then? That the one million dollar question…
Normally in gangland crimes, family - in the broadest sense of the word – stick together no matte what, but sometimes personal gain is more important and turn their back on their gang.
And than that beast that has been asleep for so many years starts to wake up again. Will it be let out or is that strong friendship built up and held strong throughout decades enough to keep it in its cage?
What can I say? I loved it! Gangland crime is hard and violent, but some of them are not bad through and through. They fight for what they love and defend it in their own way. Is it the right one? No, but it’s very effective. 😊 5 stars
Thank you, Kerry Kaya and Rachel's Random Resources

Firstly let me start by saying how much I loved all four of these books, read them far too late into the night and far too late in the morning! In fact I finished all four within a few days.
The characters despite being hard men and murderers are somehow likable and believable showing soft sides and fierce loyalty to those they love.
If I have one criticism of the books, which is what loses the one star for me is the endlessly repeated phrases. “He wiped his hand across his clammy forehead“, “His/her tongue snaked across his/her teeth”, “He/she chewed the inside of his/her cheek“, “He raised his eyebrows”, “he felt his insides turn to water”, “he felt fear slide the full length of his spine”, “He ran his fingers along the stubble on his jaw”.
All brilliant phrases but my word how irritating and distracting to see them over and again throughout all four books. It felt like the author had a notebook and had written phrases down that popped into her head, a very good thing to do I’m sure, but then slotted the phrases in at the moment that seemed appropriate in the books. But really - once possibly twice, not eight or nine times plus with each one please.
That small gripe out of the way, I will be reading the next series written by this author, although I would really like to know whether the two main characters made it up in book 4, I do hope so.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for this eARC.
What can I say to do justice to how good this book is. It started off well and pulled me in right away. I really liked the main character Danny who is very believable and portrayed realistically. When a member of his family is hurt he wants to find out why, who was behind this and make them pay. As always there are characters you just can’t help but like and root for, and characters you absolutely hate. I loved all the separate story threads and that the story was told through different characters. I found this to be a very engaging and well written book, it flowed really well and grabbed and held my attention from the first page to the last. A brilliant, thrilling read and I look forward to the next one. If you like gangland books then give this one a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Another really good story in this series.
The timeframe has now moved on and Danny McKay is going straight. Along with his partner Moray they have built up a successful club.
His life has changed and although he doesn’t get on with his ex wife he has a great relationship with his children, who are his world.
When a family party goes terribly wrong Danny is drawn back into the underworld for revenge.
But as he finds who’s responsible, it may be a lot closer to home and change everything for Danny.
Kerry Kaya writing just get better and better. This is the 4th book in the Carter series. It’s Gritty underworld has all the recipe for another great tale.
Lots of twists along the way to keep this a page turner.

Well Kerry Kaya you've knocked my socks off with this one.
What a fantastic series this is.
Book number 4 finds Danny Mckay once living the gangland life retired and very much enjoying family life. He adores his twins Lexi and Logan. So when Lexi gets accidentally shot at her 18th birthday being held at Danny's club he immediately is on the warpath looking for the culprit and catapulted back into the gangland life with his old allies The Carter brothers.
His fiance Maria is a nightmare demanding money and a wedding date. The twins hate her.
His best friend and partner in the club Moray discovers somebody wants him dead but who?
This book is gritty, fast, and breathtaking.
What more can you ask for?

This is another great story from Kerry Kaya. It's book 4 of the Carter brothers series but can easily be read as a stand alone. I loved the cast of interesting characters, especially Danny, and the many twists in the tale. The plot was brilliant and fast paced with plenty action. This is an excellent gangland thriller which is sure to be a winner for the author and one I highly recommend. Thanks to Net Galley and Boldwood Books for my ARC.

The Reckoning by Kerry Kaya is the forth book in the Carter Brothers series and i have never read any of these books within this series but I found it a good read and really enjoyed it, so I did not need to worry on reading the other three books.
I highly recommend this book and looking forward to read more by Kerry. I loved it.
Big thank you to Kerry Kaya and Rachel's Random Resources for my ARC for a review.

Wow as always another gripping read that you won’t want to put down. Even though Danny and Moray have decided on the legitimate business scene now there are still lots of plots and twists and turns along the way. Loyalties are pushed to the very limit in this book. Book four in the series which just keeps getting better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this gangland series. A really Big twist happens in Danny life when he try’s changing it for the better. While he’s throwing a Birthday party for his daughter all heck breaks out so is Danny’s life going to change again? If you can I recommend reading this whole series however each book can be read as standalones.
