🥄 Grace never knew her father. She was raised by her loving mother, Marie who worked very hard to provide for Grace. Gradually she learns that her very wealthy father, Simon Artemis abandoned her and her mother. The business mogul, millionaire, and his family live lavishly as members of the rich and sparkling Londoners. After her mother passed away from a terminal disease, she embarks on a journey of revenge. To kill every member of the Artemis family. 

🥄 I found this book very engaging - the way it was written was clever and funny. I read the print but also listened to the book at times which I really enjoyed because the narrator has an animated way of storytelling. This suspense-packed story is full of creativity with how Grace chooses to off people. But the ending really threw me off and while I love a good plot twist, I didn't understand the need to pivot so so much in the final chapters of the book. Because of this disappointment I had to bring my rating down to 3.5 ✨
