In Cold Blood by Mark Dawson
3.0
3.5 stars
This is a fast-paced, entertaining story that is a mix of Kill Bill and Taylor Stevens' Vanessa Michael Munroe series, less stylized and flashy than the former and less rich and dark than the latter. The revenge plotline certainly isn't new, but Dawson makes his kickass protagonist Beatrix Rose both sympathetic and fun to read. The violence is more matter-of-fact and less graphic than many books of this type, making it easier to root for Beatrix to exact her revenge without too much horror and angst on the part of the reader. The next book definitely will go on my TBR list for when I'm in the mood for good, escapist action.
