After reading this latest novel by Martina Cole I really feel that she is just rehashing previous stories. There is so much repetition in her books these days that I rapidly lose patience with the story. I also repeatedly am feeling that I have read all of this before in previous Cole books.The same old story of one strong beautiful sister not getting the life she feels she deserves. The younger weaker sister who always has a nervous disorder after witnessing some form of violence. The neglected child who is a violent psychopath. The 13year old girl who falls in love and knows they are going to be together forever. The same violence, poverty and never ending bleakness. Mothers who dislike their children from birth and constantly think about wiping them out.Martina repeats continually chapter after chapter to the point where the books could be cut in half.I used to love this author and eagerly awaited her novels but unfortunately now I just feel disappointment. There are so many other authors out there with stronger storylines and much better writing these days. I've read most of Martina Cole's books and usually they are paced well, interesting in content (though I think she may have overdone East-End gansters now) and have a good twist. But, this book was very poor. I also very much dislike books that tell you the ending in the first 2 pages - what's the point of me reading the rest of it. Faithless felt very lazy. Repitition throughout made it boring in places.
Enjoyed this far more than the last few books I've read of hers and I loved the twists at the end :)
