House of the Beast by Michelle Wong
3.5
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
House of the Beast is a story steeped in revenge. It's a story that asks us whether there's a place for mercy in revenge. Whether we can be soft and kind, in a world that wants to turn us into a weapon. Can kindness survive? Alma hones herself for years into being a weapon to avenge her mother. She trains herself to the bone and continually lets those around her undermine her. But as she is on the cusp of enacting her plan, she begins to wonder if she's lost sight of who her mother loved, who her mother wanted her to be. I enjoyed how House of the Beast examines the consuming nature of revenge.
