After being attacked at a party on her 16th birthday, Jade vows revenge on the boys who raped her. With the help of her friends, The Coven, Jade infiltrates St. Andrew’s Prep and begins to take them down one by one. With the help of Mack, one of St. Andrew’s students, Jade gets the vengeance she deserves.

Foul is Fair by Hannah Capin is a contemporary retelling of Macbeth. I remember reading Macbeth when I was younger, but don’t really remember the story. Jade is not a very likable character which I think is true of Lady Macbeth as well. She is cunning and willing to do anything to get what she wants regardless of who gets hurt along the way. She encourages and helps Mack to murder his friends.

The story is violent and can be gory at times. If that isn’t your thing I wouldn’t recommend this book. It’s hard to read a book when you don’t like the main character, but that didn’t really bother me. I liked Mack’s character, and since I didn’t remember Macbeth, I wanted to see where it went and how it ended. I do think it was a bit too long and drawn up, but overall it was an entertaining read.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
