Monsters are real.

When I was five years old, I watched my mother take her last breath—a breath three monsters stole from her.

I never chose this life. My father says it’s my birthright, but all I see is a curse. It’s because of the Kelly name my mum was slain by the Doyles—our enemies in Dublin, the fellas livin’ on borrowed time.

All of Belfast fears my family, especially me. I’m Puck Kelly, otherwise known as Punky; the lad ye don’t want to double cross.

I don’t do feelings or emotions. I never have…until she walks into my world.

Babydoll is a liar and a thief, but I can’t stay away. We both thrive in the darkness because that’s where our demons can play.

No word af a lie, sixteen years later, those monsters still haunt my dreams. But every monster is scared of somethin’…and that somethin’ is me.

No more hiding in the shadows because I’m huntin’ youse.

Run, wee monsters, run.

What I thought about Thy Kingdom Come

 

Puck (aka Punky) Kelly is on a mission to find his mother's killers, and for years, everyone said it was the Dublin-based rival Doyle family.  He wants revenge and his life is focused on that. He feels nothing but to avenge his mother's killers. He keeps his intentions to himself because every time he asks his family for information, he gets shut down.

 

And then he meets Babydoll.  She flips his switch in a way no other woman has ever done, but she's got her own agenda when it comes to the Kelly family.

 

This is a good old tale of feuding families, hidden agendas,  and questionable genealogy.  I was glued to the pages, needing to know who was who and what was what.  And through it all is Punky -- he's just delicious in so many ways -- a tough bad boy with a very thick shell, but with a heart for those who matter to him. It just takes a bit to get to that side of him. I thought he was such an interesting character.  

There's a lot of reveals and twists in this I don't want to give away. There's no sugar coating of the violence that occurs with the Doyle or the Kelly families, but that just made it more realistic and interesting. 

I'm looking forward to the next book in this.  This is a continuing story and while it doesn't really end in a massive stomach grabbing cliffie, but there are many unanswered questions.  Can't wait!
