Overview

“If you’re looking for a fun, thrilling read, look no further. The Bang-Bang Sisters is a rip-roaring delight of a novel – pulpy, fast-paced, and absolutely unputdownable.” – New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay From critically acclaimed author Rio Youers, an action-packed crime novel featuring three kick-ass heroines—bandmates who moonlight as vigilantes. Blood. Bullets. Rock and roll. Meet the Bang-Bang Sisters: Brea, Jessie, and Flo. Together, they’re a killer rock band with an unbreakable bond. But that’s only half the story. Offstage, they’re highly skilled vigilantes, traveling the country in their beaten-up tour van to exact justice on criminals who have slipped through the system. Part rock stars, part assassins, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Drawn by a tantalizing lead, the sisters head to Reedsville, Alabama—a city crawling with destitution and corruption—where they close in on a notorious serial killer known as “the wren.” But they soon discover that they have walked straight into a trap set by Chance Kotter, a ruthless mobster with a personal vendetta. Bruised and beaten, the sisters find themselves at the mercy of Chance and a sadistic game of survival that will pit them against each other: Forty-eight hours. One city. Three sisters. Only one of them can survive. Full of gripping action and shocking twists that come at a breakneck pace, The Bang-Bang Sisters is a relentless, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that will leave you breathless.

“If you’re looking for a fun, thrilling read, look no further. The Bang-Bang Sisters is a rip-roaring delight of a novel – pulpy, fast-paced, and absolutely unputdownable.” — Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author “This is the high-octane, rock band vigilante novel you never knew you wanted - but definitely need. The Bang-Bang Sisters reads like a lost Tarantino classic, with the verve and body count to prove it. A one-of-a-kind adventure that doesn’t slow down.”  — Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity “Buckle up for The Bang-Bang Sisters. The story rocks, the characters pop, the writing sizzles. You won’t forget Brea, Jessie, and Flo. This rock-band vigilante novel turns it up to eleven. Strap in and hold on.”  — Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author ""A high-octane, action-packed read . . . . You should make this action thriller your next summer read. — CrimeFictionLover.com “A rip-roaring Hollywood noir that smashes the pedal to the metal and keeps it there. The best villain since Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels . . . This one is hot.” — Stephen King on No Second Chances ""A high-octane good time. Readers seeking fast action and strong female characters should check it out."" — Publishers Weekly ""No Second Chances is a one-sitting read. Rio Youers writes with both muscle and heart, and his latest noir-meets-thriller is a literary sports car, loaded with style and speed. Jump in—and buckle up."" — Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author “[A] dizzyingly plotted thriller . . . the novel motors on at blinding speed, incorporating broken families, bottomless desire for revenge, and a denouement that makes the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre seems like mere trifle. What sticks with me, though, are the quiet moments, where the wounds of long-ago personal sacrifices have room to heal.” — New York Times Book Review on Lola on Fire “Lola on Fire sizzles and scorches like fresh steak slapped on a red-hot grill. And while you might know Lola’s cousins—that girl with the dragon tattoo, the twin nemeses of Killing Eve, master assassin John Wick, even Kill Bill's Beatrix Kiddo—none of them can rival her bruised soul and bulletproof heart. How often does a ferocious action thriller gather your emotions in a net and haul them to the surface writhing and shiny? What was the last novel to kick-start your brain and your pulse at the same time? Cross Elmore Leonard with Lisa Gardner and you get Rio Youers. More Lola, please, aflame or otherwise.” — A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window ""[A] rocket-fueled crime thriller . . . . Fans of full-throttled cinematic action-fests of the Long Kiss Goodnight variety are in for a treat."" — Publishers Weekly “Lola on Fire serves up all the gonzo action, quotable lines, and unforgettable characters a reader could want, in a novel that rivals Killing Eve in intensity and atmosphere.” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill ""Youers has spent years developing his style, perfecting his voice, and with No Second Chances he has produced a book that feels like something Elmore Leonard might have written: a dark and ballsy story that, once you’ve started it, you absolutely cannot stop reading."" — Booklist (starred review) “John Wick meets Jane Hawk in Lola on Fire, a wild, relentless read. The action is terrific, the writing crisp, the characters unforgettable.” — New York Times bestselling author Michael Koryta “What a ride! Lola on Fire is a witty, impeccably crafted, and deliriously fun thriller with a furiously beating heart. Rousing action and killer pacing, powered by characters you’ll love who possess the ass-kicking skills of the John Wick universe yet are still grounded with real humanity. Don't miss it.” — Taylor Adams, author of No Exit
