Ash Like Vengeance
by J. L. Delavega
I’ll tell you what. There is just something about vengeance. It is so sweet but incredibly ruthless. No one is safe. I love it!
“Don’t be sorry. Be better.”
We rejoin the Reveres after a bit of time has passed since the events of Smoke and Other Storms (Book 1). But that doesn’t mean they haven’t been busy. Even though the family is separated, their goals are the same. Take down the men who put them in this position. Family are the only ones who can be trusted. Betrayal, always on the mind.
Adelaide learns more about herself, trust, and what it means to care about people who aren’t her family. She continues to be an absolute brutal badass out for blood. She will not be stopped, and I want a front row seat to the show.
The rest of the Reveres go on their own journeys through the book. Exploring gifts, outsmarting and outwitting opponents, having incredible sass, and just being the best at what they do.
This was such an incredible ride. The grit and brutality got ramped up. These women are out for blood, and nothing will stop them. But through all of that, tenderness shines through. These aren’t just brutal pickers taking what they want. They are a family with feelings, grieving what has been lost. There is a lot of planning and setting up that goes on through most of the book, but meaningful character interactions and development are woven within. It was such a treat to be able to see all sides of these characters, and it made the story feel fuller.
I want to say so much more, but I also don't want to spoil too much. I am so excited (and nervous) to see how this story concludes.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
