Mr. McCane
I’ve been really enjoying these short thriller novellas lately. Octavia Grant’s Cutthroat blew me away earlier this year. After that, Anna J’s The Hunt series equally impressed me. They both have a way of pulling you into the minds of their characters and somehow making you an accessory to murder(s). I find myself not only justifying this ruthless behavior but also low-key finding it satisfying, in a sadistic, Christian kind of way.
Olivia Renee Wallace is a new author to me, but I believe she writes romance. So, when someone asked me to read an ARC of Vengeance, I agreed. Two queens of the thriller genre with a slash of romance, and a title like Vengeance. Count me in.
For years, people knew Tyrone Houston as the quiet, dependable man who ran the Houston Family Funeral Home and Crematorium. He’s a pillar of the community, a devoted father, and a man who treated the dead with care. At least, that’s what everyone thought.
After he suddenly dies, his daughters receive a shocking final request. They must go on a scavenger hunt to uncover who their father really was. And what they find is worse than any nightmare. They’re now forced to make their own moral decisions.
This book is heavier than a backpack full of textbooks on the first day of school. Please check your trigger warnings. There’s a lot of blood, torture, and death. My favorite quote: “If you haven’t gotten right with the Lord, now is the time.”
I enjoyed this read, and my favorite part was the dialogue between the sisters, it felt so real. I also didn’t realize how hot getting busy in a funeral home, in the presence of the dead, could be… thanks, Olivia lol. Can’t wait for book two. Great job, ladies!
