A funny and violent book, what more could you ask for? The plot starts off centred around Billy, but seems to shift perspective until it's finally focused on Rawhead - the hitman. The book was fast paced with nice fight scenes, a believable psychopath and an interesting take on english gangsters.
Even though the book is called Rawhead in Love the love seems to have been left until the end, and only features in the last couple of chapters, up until that points we hardly see any romance at all. It happens fast so blink and you'll miss it.
Even so, the way it was done was interesting and i would defiantly love to read more about them.

I approached this book with caution, not being a fan of crime fiction or gangster stories. Yet it's one of the most original novels I've read in a long time. Briefly, the story chronicles a campaign by Rawhead, the deadliest murderer in the world, to wrestle power from a gang of Manchester criminals called the Priesthood. The Priesthood send a female assassin called the Spirit of Darkness to despatch him, but Rawhead develops an unexpected attachment to her, hence the book's title. Exciting and funny, with a plot that's impossible to predict.
