Naturally I first attracted to the cover of this book, and come on! Who wouldn't be!? It is beautiful. So very beautiful.

Lately I been struggling getting into some books, so when I picked this one up I was crossing my fingers that I wouldn't have the same problem. 3% into the book I was already texting Jessica about how much I was loving it. It was fun to read, but imagine such a world!

"I don't think he likes me running my hands through his hair, but how was I supposed to know he was a male? I thought all the hitting was some sort of creature foreplay."

Westie, our main character lost her arm to cannibals (Yes, cannibals!) When she was a young girl. In that very same attack her parents and brother were also killed. It was easy to see why Westie was desperate to find out who murdered her family. But for someone who is allowed to leave home for months on end to hunt these cannibals down, she is very stupid. Now, I am all for flawed characters, and that is exactly what Westie is, so despite her immense stupidity I couldn't help but like her.

"She should stay in. A closet, perhaps, something soundproofed, preferably."

Modesto gives you a lot of information and world building in one book, but it is all straight forward and make sense, (Sometimes not in the moment but in the end it does!) You often see books that cram in too much and it doesn't work out, Revenge and the Wild was not like that. There are so many amazing elements and different things combined that will make you scratch your head and ask "What does this have to do with the story?" but it all just fits together like some magical puzzle.

I can't wait to read more from Michelle in the future (Maybe more of the Revenge and the Wild world?), her story was unique and interesting and is perfect for for fans of the unusual.
