Bang Bang By: Rachel Van Dyken

(N) This book is a short standalone novella with characters from the Eagle Elite series. This mafia story is about Axton Abandonato and  Amy De Lange. Amy and Axton were best friends but after a sting gone wrong against part of the De Lange family Axton fakes his own death and goes into hiding. Axton leaves behind the one person that means most to him, Amy his best friend and the love of his life. Now five years later Axton is sent with a task, to come out of hiding and find Amy and bring her back home to Chicago.
            Meanwhile Amy is left behind, she believes that her best friend is dead. Since Amy is only  sixteen she is sent off to foster care but once the families find out who she is and who her family is the foster families send Amy back. So for the next few years Amy goes from one family to the other. Now Amy is living in a crappy apartment and is about to start a job as a stripper but just before Amy is about to go onstage for the first time Axton comes to her rescue. Seeing Axton for the first time after thinking that he has been dead for all these years causes Amy is be a little hesitant when trusting Axton. Although the two still have a connection to each other Amy still cannot fully trust Axton.
         Although I haven't read the Eagle Elite series and an unsure if I am going to I do have to say that this book was a good book and worth reading. Even if you have not read the other books in the series this book is worth reading.
