My Review - Zenka - (8/11/17)
My Review
Ruthless, devious, and loyal, Zenka is a Hungarian pole-dancer with a dark past.
When cranky London mob boss, Jack Murray, saves her life she vows to become his guardian angel – whether he likes it or not. Happily, she now has easy access to pistols, knives and shotguns.
Jack discovers he has a son, Nicholas, a male nurse with a heart of gold. Problem is, Nicholas is a wimp.
Zenka takes charge. Using her feminine wiles and gangland contacts, she will turn Nicholas into the son any self-respecting crime boss would be proud of. And she succeeds!
Nicholas is learning fast that sometimes you have to kill, or be killed. As his life becomes more terrifying, questions have to be asked:
How do you tell a mob boss you don’t want to be his son?
And is Zenka really who she says she is?

My Review
5☆ Thrilling, Exciting Crime Thriller with a twist of humour
This Is my very first book by Alison Brodie but it will Definetly not be my last.
Fresh, funny, exciting, crazy, whole lot of fun. I can't wait to tell everyone about Zenka!!
I adored reading Zenka. At points I was in fits of laughter, Zenka is not a women to be messed with, shes a Hungarian pole dancer with an addictive accent, she's dangerous, sexy, has a killer instinct but under her steel she has a softer side.
Men and women equally are scared of her, but she can twist any man round her little finger. You wouldn't want to make an enemy of her.
I thoroughly appreciated Alison's writing style and her character development.
The whole way through the book Zenka remained in character her speech was brilliant, I was literally reading her in her highly addictive Hungarian accent it was really cleverly written.
Then you had Jack the East London Gangster Boss and his Cockney slang. Simply Brilliant! I'm a big fan of the Cockney slang and to see it incorporated with ease was so much fun. I even learnt a few new ones lol
Don't worry if you are not familiar with the fun Slang, Alison has added a Cockney Translation page lol Brilliant!!
I loved Jack and Zenka's relationship the bickering between them, yet Jack always gave in.
Then there was Nicholas Jack's illegitimate Son who he knew nothing about.
Nicholas is nothing like Jack, he is sensitive and shy and a Male Nurse. Well that is until he sets eyes on Zenka!!
Nicholas's world is about to turn upside down. Will Jack ever reveal his identity?
What secrets is Zenka hiding and who is the mysterious Alina?
You Definetly don't want to miss reading Zenka to find out!!
She will leave a lasting impression that I'm sure people will be talking about for a long tine !!
For me I enjoyed all the London references, the Gangster business, the interesting and unique characters, the crazy lil twists and turns, the Suspense, the almost slapstick humour which I adore, with a sprinkling of romance.
Would I recommend this book...... without a doubt....... 100%..... YES!!!!!
Perfect read for those looking for something different. It's a Fun Quirky crime thriller with a Dark Humour Twist.
