White Lady

By Jessica Bell

Sonia yearns for sharp objects and blood. But now that she’s rehabilitating herself as a “normal” mother and mathematics teacher, it’s time to stop dreaming about slicing people’s throats.

While being the wife of Melbourne’s leading drug lord and simultaneously dating his best mate is not ideal, she’s determined to make it work.

It does work. Until Mia, her lover’s daughter, starts exchanging saliva with her son, Mick. They plan to commit a crime behind Sonia’s back. It isn’t long before she finds out and gets involved to protect them.

But is protecting the kids really Sonia’s motive?

Reviews for White Lady

[carolyn.injoy3life · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I received a free kindle copy of White Lady by Jessica Bell in a goodreads promotion in exchange for fair review. It was an intriguing book. I gave it five stars.Written from multiple points of view: Mia, daughter of Celeste & Nash, who are separated. Nash & Sonia are both teachers & 'special' friends. Mick is Sonia's & Ibrahim's son. Ibrahim is a hardened criminal. They too, are separated.Sonia listens to Mick's stereo through the wall. "Stereo full blast. Magic Dirt: 'I Was Cruel.' It's the only song I ever hear anymore."Sonia is out having a drink with Nash. She's had three double bourbons. "It has been a long time since I felt the effects of alcohol, and it is absolutely splendid. I can still hold it down pretty well. Remarkable really. Even more remarkable that I think it is something to be proud of. But I am."I have to say my sympathies lay with Mia & Mick. They were the broken innocents in this tragic story. There is violence but all of it carried the story line forward.
