I received a copy of this book from Titan Press in exchange for an honest review.

Victor, Mitch, Sydney and Dol are back, and this time Victor is on another mission which is leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. In a secure facility, Eli is planning his revenge, and another EO Marcella has risen up, literally, from the ashes and is taking on the mob from the inside, slowly bringing her closer to an encounter with both Victor and Eli.

I really loved this follow-up to Vicious, and I actually think I enjoyed it more than the first book. I particularly liked the character development of Sydney, who readers really know as a little girl abandoned by her sister, as she grows into a teenager and has to struggle with being stuck in a child's body but a woman's mind. The introduction of June was a great idea, and I found her a fascinating, engaging character. I actually would love a prequel novella about June and her story leading up to Vengeful, and honestly would also be happy with another sequel with a focus on her.

I never warmed to Victor and Eli as much as others did in Vicious, and I think I felt the same in Vengeful. My favourite characters in the books are definitely the side characters like Sydney and Mitch, and in Vengeful definitely Marcella who was a riot. I loved slowly starting to love-hate Marcella and her journey into villainous madness.

I do think the very end felt a tiny bit rushed. I would have expected a little bit more in the Doctor's 'lair' if that's what you want to call it before the big show down, and it all seemed to end rather quickly.

I'm not sure if this is the end of our EO journey though I really hope it isn't because I loved this so much, and I really feel it ended in a way that subtly said 'To be continued..'
