A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee
3.0

2.5 stars.

This was majorly, epically fine. 70% of the book is spent just meandering about, then there’s some lead up and we go straight into the final climax, which is … pretty good. But I needed more of that end in the rest of the book. Sure, there’s a few bits of foreshadowing but it’s not enough. There’s so many things that could have been done here to make this a truly dark gothic horror or thriller and the author passed by almost all of them.

Whatever you’re excited for this book to be, there’s a different book that does it better.
