Grim, gritty

The book is well written, funny, and gritty. The narration is superb. It really makes the book come to life.

Murder among friends

Once again this did not disappoint but I wouldn't want to cross anyone of their path. Guess the next book will be about the butcher. Love murder mystery mayhem all rolled into a wonderfully written book. I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator.

Love the characters!

I've really enjoyed this series so far. I love the originality and the quirkiness of the characters and getting to know the new characters that are added to the town. I also really appreciate the humor in the series. The book is dark, funny, and unique. I listened to the Audible edition narrated by J. Scott Bennett. I loved his narration and his ability to give such unique voices to each of the characters. He makes the characters come alive.

Delilah is back!!!

I have loved every book in this series so far and have eagerly awaited this. While this was just as twisting and twisted as the other 3, I felt like something was missing and I still can't figure out what!!

Plot wise, this sees the mayor and her husband being kidnapped and held for ransom, so of course her in laws have to step in and rescue them, with the help of some mafia men as well. Will they prevail before it's too late and can they figure out who the mastermind is? The plot was just as twisting and dark as previous ones, but I also felt like it was missing the same magic that the previous ones had. Everything seemed to come too easy and I just didn't connect with this as much as I did the others. Saying that, there is still a lot of twists and turns and surprises in it, that will keep you guessing till the end!!

The characters were all as well written and developed as ever. Delilah is back and as twisted as ever. She is allowed to unleash her inner evil a little more in this one and boy is she..... odd ;)

In all, this was a great read, just not as enchanting as the last few!! Going by the ending, you just know that there is more bad things to come to the "good" folk of Cold Hollow, and I for one, say bring it on!!

J. Scott Bennett is definitely becoming a favourite narrator of mine! I'm not long after finishing one of his middle grade books and then, to come into this one and see how he can change into such sick and twisted characters perfectly, was amazing!! He truly knows how to preform and bring each character alive. I highly recommend you try at least one of his books!!!

Intriguing and Fascinating

If you could sum up Vengeance in three words, what would they be?

Thrilling, Intriguing, Exciting

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Kept me glued. Wanted it to last longer.
