Son of a Bitch

Son of a Bitch by Jason B. Sheffield  382 pages

I enter a lot of book giveaways. It’s so much fun to get an email telling me I’ve won or that the book simply shows up in the mailbox.  This is one of the books. I was intrigued by the synopsis; it sounded a little different. The cover art didn’t do much for me, but a book about a bitter son defending his super bitch of a mother caught my attention.

Crater “The Dragon Lady” Scales is a Mafia lawyer, as tough as the wiseguys are. But now it’s her turn to sit in jail after being caught giving a client a blowjob while she was supposed to be conferring with him about his defense.

And speaking of defense, her defense lawyer is her estranged son, Benjamin Scales. Fifteen years ago they had a major falling out and been in contact in all that time.

I really, really, really wanted to like this book. But, and you knew this was coming, I just couldn’t care about the characters. From the opening scene, I was put-off by them. I put this book down several times, picked it up several more times, but one night I found that I didn’t’ care what happened to either Carter or Ben.  Therefore, Son of a Bitch receives 1 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
