Children of Ambition by J.J. McAvoy

3.0

What the hell is going on? Really!!! I cannot process it all. One moment I was bored and the next everything happened all of a sudden and I just could not. I almost gave this 2 stars but it ended with not only one bang but TWO!!!!! The craziness is just starting. J.J. McAvoy is causing chaos. I AM IN LOVE WITH HER MIND.


“Death had a smell.
It wasn’t the type of smell that brought vultures.
It was the type only certain living people could smell. People who’d come close to losing their lives one too many times, who’d been living on the edge of death’s door”


I could not connect with Donatella like Melody. They were very different. Melody was an acceptable bitch, Donatella not so much. I don’t know why but I could not bring myself to love her. It always like she was trying too hard. However, I admired her passion. She was so damn passionate and she was hiding it all. I liked certain aspects of her character. It was obvious that no matter what she did, she loved her brothers.

“The way she stared at me sent shivers down my spine. How could any man not want to tame such a fearsome beauty? To have this…her, that fire on their side?”

Gabrielle hid a lot. He was like a panadora box. I loved the mystery behind him and the facade he managed to uphold. I did not love him. He was an okay character. I could not relax with him being around. I liked him alright. He and Donatella were sure make a lovely couple.

“loving people is easy even though it may not seem like it. But if two people are trapped on an island with only each other to rely on, they will fall in love. Attraction is important. But love… That comes from two people forming a bond. Knowing that one other person is always in your corner. Will always stand by you. Fight with you. Love is what happens when you are fully and brazenly able to trust and depend on another person.”

The Callahan family never rest. Them and their children of ambition. No rest for the evil.
