Fatal Loyalty - Review

My Review:

Just like the title of the book implies, Fatal Loyalty by Sue Duffy, defines this perfectly. Andie Ryborg is a young woman in college attempting to live an ordinary life like everyone else her age. However Andie isn't your typical ordinary girl, she is the daughter of Attorney General of Miami, Tony Ryborg in the midst of his latest political campaign. Only is not just the life in the public eye that keeps Andie from being ordinary, it's the fact that her father is also not very popular among the drug lords that he is in the process of running out of Miami. His life is been threatened on a number of occassions and rather than just back off and go into seclusion, he is more determined than every to make the neighborhoods of Miami safer.

Since Tony Ryborg won't take a subtle hint to back down, Leo Francini is about to make sure his current drug business stays intact even if it means that Andie Ryborg needs to be used in the process. Evan Markham becomes Leo's newest thug to make sure that his message to Tony is perfectly clear this time. However Evan is bound and determined to make sure that Andie isn't going to be a victim if he can help it. Leo has killed too many people and if he can save one, Andie is going to be it.

The book is a perfect blend of the Sopranos meets CSI Miami and it's really a great story woven through all the interesting characters you are introduced to. In the midst of this story, Andie and Evan turn to God looking for His answer to how to survive in the drug ring that has Miami captured by crime and power. Will they find the answers they seek? I received this book from Christian Fiction Blog Alliance for my honest review and easily rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars.
