So much going on - a little unrealistic, but a solid read.

There were a lot of different storylines. The book should have focused on Tyrone/ Tess, since that plot was more prevalent throughout the book.

Although I read these books out of order, I thought it was a good and well written read, I was especially happy that Karma showed up and kicked some tail. A very good and enjoyable read.

Eh...it was just okay to me. I think the first one was much better. It had a good moral and it was very good description. I think that the focus was too much on Tess 'Tyrone'. I would have liked to have read a little deeper into the other characters lives as well. The end was kinda corny to me. It was just an okay read to me...probably wouldn't recommend it.

What a let down!!!! Revenge is best serve cold and The talk of the town are the sequence to this story and they were wonderful. Wow I really expect all the drama, twist and turns that Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Carter have in their writing however this story did not have any of that magic it start out good and then it was just dragging!!!!!!!!

Tess is really Tyrone a "drag queen" that has made it his/her business to con people out of their money. I did enjoy Success is the Best Revenge. The book made me think about what lengths people go to to take what is not theirs and destroy others lives in the process.
