Hell’s Kitchen (Hell’s Kitchen #1) Blurb

*From International Bestselling authors Callie Hart and Lili St. Germain comes a tale of two families co-existing in a melting pot of violence, murder and drugs in the seedy underbelly of New York City*

Hell’s Kitchen

Theo and Sal Barbieri are brothers, tasked by their Mafioso father Roberto with a very clear purpose: kidnap Kaitlin McLaughlin. The beautiful daughter of Roberto’s Irish enemy. It’s high time Kaitlin was punished for her father’s sins—not to mention, her own.

And Operation: Kidnap Kaitlin is a roaring success… until it isn’t. When Kaitlin escapes into the busy streets of New York City, it’s a race against the clock to find her before Sal and Theo become the hunted.

Zeth Mayfair has traded his life as a hitman for a quieter existence, but it isn’t long before the past catches up with him in the form of Roberto Barbieri. Will he succumb to the lure of power that Roberto is offering? Or will he retaliate by killing every last Barbieri in New York to get them off his back?

Jason Ross is running. Woken in the night by a tip that the Gypsy Brothers are coming for him, he packs a bag and gets his girlfriend the hell out of dodge. Arriving in New York City in the midst of a heatwave is one thing, but being tailed by an entire drug cartel is another.

Worlds collide in Hell’s Kitchen as secrets come to light and sins are punished. Because we might be different in the light of day, but in the darkness, we’re all connected somehow.

Hell’s Kitchen is a serial comprising three volumes: Hell’s Kitchen, Tribeca and Bleecker Street. Volume One releases on March 3rd with a limited-time sale price of 99 cents

Review

If readers know anything about Callie Hart and Lili St. Germain’s writing, they know, firsthand, that the ride they’re about to take in Hart St Germain’s collaborative new serial, Hell’s Kitchen, the meshing together of characters from their own successful serials, the Blood & Roses series and the Gypsy’s Brothers series as well as a few new badass personalities, is going to be an absolutely gritty, raw, and total mindfuck adventure.

So hold on to your heart and your panties and get ready to meet the new players in New York’s underground.

Hell’s Kitchen – what a perfect name for the shit that goes down in book one.  As the players are introduced and their own brand of wrath and fury is brought out, readers are given insight into the whos and whats of the two rival Mafia families who are at the center of the mayhem in New York, and clues are revealed as to why the events at the beginning of the book occur. As the story continues, several small story lines are built simultaneously in order to bring all of the characters together, and readers are privy to several of their perspectives due to the numerous shifts in point of view.

At the end of book one, lives are in danger and a shitstorm is headed to Hell’s Kitchen in a way that readers can assume that no one will be safe from the turmoil that is bound to ensue. Lines have been drawn but those lines become blurred when truths are exposed and dubious decisions are made without even flinching and what’s to come, especially when readers know the twists and turns that Hart and St. Germain love to deliver is anyone’s guess.

Hell’s Kitchen #1 lays the groundwork for what will undoubtedly be a series of climatic situations – in every sense of the word. The males and females who have been introduced so far have a lot on the line, personally as well as for those around them, and it’s anyone’s guess what Hart St. Germain has in store for all of them! I, for one, can’t wait to find out!

Excerpt

“When he lunges for me, I’m ready. I deflect the hand he was going to grab me with, slapping it downward, and then I grab onto his wrist, pulling him off balance. He seesaws forward but then rips his wrist out of my hand. I don’t expect him to turn his slight fumble to his own advantage, but he does. Dropping to the floor, he rolls and kicks out, landing a solid strike to my leg. I have less than a second to brace myself before I’m hitting the concrete.
Then he’s on top of me. “Oh, this is fun, sweetheart. But I don’t really have time to be playing games with you right now.”
He’s reaching for my arms, about to pin me to the ground, but I jab, landing a solid hit with my extended fingertips right in the base of his throat, in his windpipe. He chokes, his body falling sideways, and then I’m on top of him. Through watering eyes and a clearly sore throat, the guy grins up at me, shaking his head. “Well, if you wanna fuck me, I guess I could make some time.” Thrusting upward, he tries to unseat me, but I know this is what’s coming and I’m ready again. I compensate, leaning forward, pressing my gun into the guy’s neck.
“Who are you?”
His body goes still, his hands lifting so they’re palm up in front of him. “You know who I am, sweetheart. I’m the enemy.”
“My boss has quite a few enemy camps. Which one do you belong to?”
“The biggest one,” the guy says, smiling. “The Italian one.”
“So you work for Barbieri?”
“I am a Barbieri.” Lightning fast, he snaps his hand out and clamps it around my throat. The move catches me off guard, has me panicking for the first time. My gun is gone, then, knocked to the ground, skittering away across the blacktop. The guy’s hand tightens around the column of my neck, threatening to squeeze even harder. “What’s wrong?” he asks. “Feeling a little lightheaded?”

About the Authors

Callie Hart

Callie has experienced many changes throughout her life, and gone through many ups and downs that have all worked towards shaping and molding her into the person she is today: fun loving, active, social, and hard working. The only thing that has remained a constant throughout her life is writing. Creating characters who will tear your conscience in two is a favorite pastime of Callie’s. There are few real saints and sinners in her books; more often, the denizens of her stories are all very human. Broken, flawed, and always with the potential for redemption.

Despite the subject matter being markedly hot and heavy in comparison to the stories she wrote in elementary school, there will always be an element of fairytale to her work.
