Because it is my blood
by Gabrielle Zevin
Reluctant heir of a Mafia boss. Star-crossed lover. Paparazzi darling. Hitman’s target. Anya Balanchine’s amazing story continues in the second part of the Birthright trilogy.
Freed from jail, Anya hopes that things will get back to normal. But life on the outside is even more dangerous than life behind bars. Some of her gangland family want revenge for the crime for which she has done time: the shooting of her uncle.
Forced to flee the country, Anya hides out in a cacao plantation in Mexico. There she learns the secrets of the chocolate trade, a trade that is illegal and deadly in her native New York. There too she discovers that seemingly random acts of violence carried out across the world have a single target: her family. As innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire Anya must act fast and decisively to stop it, no matter what the danger to herself.

‘How is your leg?’ I asked.
Win smiled. ‘Still hurts like heck. How was the rest of your summer?’
I smiled, too. ‘Awful.’ I shook my head to steel myself against him. ‘I heard you’re seeing Alison Wheeler.’
‘Yes, Anya, I am,’ Win replied after a pause. ‘Word moves quickly.’
And hearts even more so. ‘I once told you that you’d get over me faster than you thought, and I was right.’
‘Anya . . .’ he said.
