3.0

Revenge story following Grace as she is in jail writing about how she has murdered members of her estranged family. Her reason: her father was married and had an affair with her mother and abandoned her when he found out she was pregnant.

<Spoiler>
I didn't enjoy the ending of the book. It felt as though the main character couldbt be allowed to get away with what she had done. However, her half-brother could. She was obviously written as a flawed character and is often manipulative and arrogant, however, the half-brother does not seem to be a more morally superior character. Not sure if it was setting it up for a sequel but if not, it felt very dissatisfying.
