Retribution by Fire

by Krysta Scott

Haunted by visions of an avenging angel, Eleanor Turner escapes into the bottle. One night in a drunken stupor, she gets behind the wheel and rams into a vehicle, killing the driver. In order to avoid prison, she voluntarily signs up for Dr. Dunkeld’s therapy group. The other members appear to benefit from the interventions, but the therapy only intensifies her visions.

Jax Dunkeld narrowly avoided career suicide when he faced disciplinary action from the psychology board. All he has to do to make things right is counsel a group of men and woman who have committed violent crimes. As he learns more about his patients, he becomes consumed with dread that helping them is not the board’s true objective. When his patients begin to mysteriously die, he realizes he’s stepped into a dire situation...one he may not survive.

[Mark Edward Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Liars lie even to themselves. An unsettling book that offers a great setting and really good characters. Very enjoyable read.

A Fine Tale of Horror—Honest!
Honesty is the best policy, as the saying goes, but many of us have secrets we hide from even ourselves. These lies can have deadly consequences, as shown in Retribution by Fire, a dandy tale by Krysta Scott. The setting, the characters, and even the weather serve to unsettle you. Truth be told, I think you’ll love this tale.

[Alicia Dean · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a cleverly plotted and wicked story about what can happen to those who commit wrongdoings. I love the concept and the author did a great job revealing the secrets and scares. Nice little twist at the end, too. Highly recommend!
