I received an advanced copy through Goodreads firstreads.
Marked for Revenge is the second book in the Jana Berzelius series and definitely should be read in order. The story picks up almost a year after marked for life ends. It is a new story that ties in parts of the last one. It carries the same mystery and action as the first novel. By bringing in a new case it keeps the story fresh and the mystery of Jana Berzelius interesting. It continues to have the dark thriller theme and unforgettable characters that makes this series one of my favorites. It’s a series that should not be missed.

The book suffers a bit from being the second one in a trilogy. There isn't really a clear start to the story (even though it is about a dope smuggler being found dead) and there isn't really a clear end. The front story of the Thai girls was interesting but didn't hold me in the same way as the front story in the first book. The back story, however, continued filling in the gaps and we get to know a bit more about Jana Berzelius. I find it interesting though that the women in this book really come out badly. None of them is particularly likable which isn't really something I would have expected from a female writer.
Asså det hände inte så mycket i denna? Eller jämför jag bara med ettan?
Mycket händer mot slutet men annars sådär.
Man han fortfarande got tipsa om Schepps böcker till deckarfans som inte har några problem med att det blir brutalt ibland. Kommer läsa vidare, är ändå intresserad om vad som kommer hända med Jana.

When a Thai girl overdoses while smuggling drugs, all signs point to an elusive narcotics trail. With a connection to Jana Berzelius, mysterious prosecutor who has just started putting together bits of her past, she must work to kill the man responsible before he reveals who she really is …
Marked for Revenge, the second novel following prosecutor Jana Berzelius, by Emelie Schepp was a book I was eager to get my hands on. Having read (and enjoyed!) Schepp's Marked For Life, I couldn’t wait to get more of Jana's backstory. I was not disappointed. Schepp provides much more to the story in book two, of what I am assuming, will be a trilogy.
I, once again, loved the character development of Jana. As she becomes more entrenched into discovering bits of her old lifestyle, her character became even more complex. In fact, Schepp seems to excel at developing complex characters. Even the secondary characters in this police procedural have story arcs that intertwine. However, like I felt in the first novel, I found that there was way too much information involving the characters and I found it hard to get lost in the story. I was too busy trying to figure out who everyone was and what everyone was doing to really lose myself in the plot.
I also found, on a technical note that the digital copy formatted strange on my Kindle; this also disrupted my reading.
Overall, I enjoyed the story as a follow up but feel people would struggle to read it as a standalone. I would strongly encourage any reader to read the first book before attempting this one.
