The Payback by Simon Kernick
4.0
Omg, enjoyed this significantly more than I thought. Definitely the best one in the trilogy!
I loved Dennis in this, from his thoughts to his actions. I could finally imagine his face, something I wasn't able to do in the previous books. He felt even more real to me than in the last book. Tina was also extremely well thought-out and I enjoyed getting to know her. The other characters kept the story going and had a lot to give to the plot, so I was never bored or disinterested.
The plot of this book was well fleshed out and I was invested from the very beginning to the very end, which was not the case in the other books in this series. I enjoyed the aspect of Dennis being on a mission to kill Tina, whilst she is a cop who is being to nosy but then they join forces against those Dennis worked for.
The writing of this book was for sure my favorite part. I don't think I've ever read a book where some chapters are written in first perspective, whilst others are written in third. However, Kernick was able to do that flawlessly and I hope I find more books with this structure. It ensured my interest was present throughout.
Happy I read this series, but this specific book carried the whole series. Don't plan on reading more from Kernick specifically but we'll see what the future holds!
