Solid, excellent book. I enjoyed Vengeful as much or almost as much as I did Vicious. Excellent writing, strong characters, and an intelligent and compelling story with a surprising amount of emotional depth to the characters. The amount of depth given to trauma as a central theme, and developed more so that it was in Vicious, was both significant and important. And as someone who didn’t think Vicious needed a sequel, this was a genuinely pleasant surprise.
