Shame on you, Martina! - Rated 
This book is dreadful! I've always been a big fan of Martina especially Goodnight Lady, The Ladykiller and Dangerous Lady but this book is just terrible. Martina seems to think all her book have to have gangsters, prostitutes, domestic violence and paedophiles in order to be successful, but this book is now almost identical to the last few she wrote, so much so that I actually almost didn't buy it as the synopsis made it seem identical to the previous book. Danny Boy was a pointless character and it was an excruciating read. Please Martina, if you can't think of something original to write, don't write anything at all!
Absolutely awful - Rated
Please do not waste your money buying this book. If I could give it zero stars I certainly would have. It is repetitive drivel and I cannot understand how it made it to publication. Martina Cole should be embarrassed to have put her name to this book, given the excellent work she has produced in the past, and it is an insult to her fans. I only got as far as page p187 because I could not bear to read the words 'he was a Face' one more time. Judging by the comments on here, I didn't miss much!
Complete and utter let down! - Rated
I have read and enjoyed everyone of Martina's books, and was relieved to read so many reviews that I wholeheartedly agree with!!! What a load of old tosh.
I will buy the next book, but if this proves to be on the same par as Faces, that will be my last, which would be such a disapoinment as I have been a huge fan for many years.
Lesson learned - Rated
I really wish I had bothered to read a few reviews before buying this book. I have just finished the book - carried on reading it through to the bitter end as I had to justify spending £7.99 somehow. But I am sorry to say even down to the last flaming page the same few lines that were repeated all throughout the book appeared again. It was like Ms Cole had thrown 3 or 4 paragraphs into a hat and every couple of pages pulled one out to use yet again. So dissappointed as I have read a couple of her past books and enjoyed them. But 'Faces' was honestly a sad waste of a tree.
BORING BORING BORING - Rated
I am so disappointed. I have read every single one of her books, and only came onto this site to see if anyone else thought this book was the biggest waste of time ever, and sadly that is the case. Not only is it repetitive, it is also completely contradictory. Danny Boy is the most inconsistent character she has ever created. I feel she is now just writing to satisfy her publishers need of a book each christmastime, and has lost all passion and interest. She can't seriously think this book is good, can she? I hope she is reading these reveiws. She seriously needs to take some time out and come up with something decent! Don't worry about us fans! we'd rather wait a long time and read something amazing than read this rubbish every year.
