A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee
2.0

I wanted to like this book. I really did. But it was so slow. The first 70 pages could have been completely removed. The plot was… boring and slow. Not much happened. We spent 90% of the book doing absolutely nothing. I understand WHY - the last 10% explains it. But that doesn’t make it any less boring.

There were also some ridiculous inconsistencies and the way that a girl not taking her medication in order to push the “spooky/paranormal” side of the plot along was used, didn’t sit well with me.

If I could sum this up in one sentence, I’d say, “Think Verity but YA and just as terrible”.
