Short
Summary of the book:
In this book we meet Clarice. Clarice is also
known as ‘Shocker’, a champion female boxer. Now retired, Clarice wishes to
spend time in her garage and tattoo parlour while spending time with her
husband and young son. Fate has a different view. In come the baddies in the
form of two corrupt police officers and a drug cartel. Clarice and her husband
are arrested and prisoned for a substantial time for a crime they didn’t
commit. Ace and Clarice do not leave matters at that and during the novel, we
follow their experiences in prison, the planning of their escape and the
exploits of the drug cartel and the corruption within the police force and prison.
What
I liked about the book:
I liked the story and after the first few
chapters, it became difficult to put the book down.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
However, the description in the first chapters
were too flowery and felt a little forced. I was pleased to see this soon
changed.
My
favourite bits in the book:
Any scene where Clarice and Ace came out on
top and couldn’t be pulled down.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
When a favourite character died.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
I am not aware of any plans for a series for
this book although I would love to know what happens to Ace, Clarice and their
family and friends next.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
This is a book which can be compared to some
other crime novels.

Clarice "Shocker" Ares retired from a sensational
pro-boxing career to focus on her family and growing mechanic business.
In an instant, everything she has worked for is shattered,
when the police find a shipment of drugs in their shop, and wrongfully send
Clarice and her husband to prison. Incarcerated and desperate after court
appeals are denied, Clarice must become the Shocker once more, challenging
rival convicts in a deadly prison fight ring to finance her escape.
Battling alongside her, armed with his brilliant electronics

they be able to exact their revenge - and regain freedom?
