This was very ok for me. I love a good revenge story. More times than not, they’re very satisfying. However, I found more to critique than enjoy here. The pacing was breakneck speed, which really made all of the crucial plot points, trauma, and emotionality suffer. Simone was a fine lead, and the author did a decent job keeping the focus on her. But, with the limited runtime here, there was way too much focus on the supporting cast, as opposed to really doing a much more substantial dive into her character. There were also some really questionable creative decisions concerning the abrupt and seemingly incomplete ending, along with other tidbits throughout. I know that I sound negative here, but I really didn’t dislike this book. Just had a lot of things that didn’t jive with me. Lots of simple fixes here, ie if the author has kept Simone as the primary focus, stretched the story out a little more, and further developed certain aspects, this would have joined the ranks of being an enjoyable, emotional, and action-packed tale of vengeance.

I have to admit King needs a better editor, but King's imagination is beyond phenomenal. She really needs to stick with this genre, this is her calling.

I enjoyed the storyline but there were some obvious grammatical errors, timeline mixups & character confusion that made it difficult to follow. I felt like the story would’ve been even better with some editing. The author also continues to use “shoulder shrug” religiously in all of her books. I almost gave the book 2 stars because this is the 9th or 10th book by this author with mixups & grammatical errors but the storyline kept me from dropping a star.

This book was sooo good for a short story. All I can say is never underestimate the will of a mother and a wife. Simone was not playing she took care of business when it came to her husband and daughter. I totally understand where she was coming from. I also felt bad for her brother Justine because he was a cop and he wanted to help his sister so bad. I really felt bad for Simone

Simone

Simone lived a quiet, family life that contrasted with her past as an government worker. She loved her life as a mother and wife until some people threatened her way of life. When Simone is threatened, life becomes shorter for those involved.

Good but too short

This was a good read but it was too short. But with the book being short it made the good parts come much quicker. I prefer when a book is not long and drawn out.

Nothing like a mothers love and a wife that loves her husband. But soon the people that have brought trama to her life will find out 1 by 1 the cost they will have to pay because of her broken heart. This is a story of a past and a present colliding and one will be the victor.

Was NOT expecting that!

All I can say is be careful of the company u keep!!! Too many people like Joey trying to fit in, sometimes it really do be family that can get u caught up trying to fit in, Joey should have listened to his own thoughts!

I just want to kidnap Linette

From start to finish this book was good. I hate that Joey had to die but he played apart in Simone's lost.

Fucked around and found out. Mama stood on business she played no games. Low key I wish Joey had gotten away

Excellent

I'm totally with Simone. I would have done the exact same thing especially knowing that Jada would be the ONLY life outside of my own I would create. I hate Tyrone was a casualty but am glad get brother chose family over duty. Fantastic Read!
