The Trouble With Serpents
The Trouble with Serpents is the award winning book three in the Serpent series written by Australian author Toni Grant.
Discover a world where fortunes are propped up by mafia led activities. Deliciously interwoven with exotic locations from around the globe and within Australia.
A place where those sworn to disrupt the mob and protect the innocent are increasingly vulnerable. Then there’s the families. Five control the fortune, all vie to lead. But, only one has the right.
And until recently, they all thought he was dead.
Testimonial: Serpent Song was mesmerising, and I couldn’t believe it was a debut novel. Serpent Sting was even better, but The Trouble with Serpents was amazing. This book had everything, drama, emotion, tense situations and of course all the memorable characters from the first two books plus more. Toni Grant’s descriptive writing style is so enjoyable, you feel you are there. It was a book I couldn’t put down. I can’t wait for more!! Dollie.
The Trouble with Serpents is book three in the Serpent series, written by Australian author, Toni Grant.

Testimonial: Serpent Song – the book starts with a bang – literally. The book is an exciting read. It’s jam packed with action, drama romance – with trippy dreams and self exploration added to the mix. Nikki.

Serpent Sting
Serpent Sting by Toni Grant, is the Australian authors second book in the Serpent series. Story themes explore healing, revenge and trust.
Some things can’t be forgotten. A lover. A child. A moment of betrayal. Death. For former Detective Francesca Salucci, its guilt.
She has put her entire family at risk. A vengeful hunt continues for the disgraced former cop who turned son against father, and paid with his life.
Salucci will do anything to protect her family. Nicholas will do anything to convince her he’s changed.
And his father, Silvio Delarno, will do anything to take what’s owed.
Because in the world of organised crime, healing is messy, revenge is timeless and trust is everything.
Testimonial: Serpent Sting – I’m a sucker for love triangles and I especially enjoy the ones where I struggle to pick which lover I like better. Just like in book 1, book 2 took me to a lot of familiar places. That’s the fun part about reading Aussie books. You feel at home. Nikki
