I met this author at a book festival. She had a series of 4 books sitting at her table. I read the synopsis of Retribution and it looked like it would be interesting. But it was the 3rd book in a series. Do I have to read them all? I don't really like to read series books. I have a to read list a mile long. She told me the books were a series but also stand alone. I really wanted to try one of them. She was a nice lady and didn't push. My husband encouraged me to buy two so I bought this one and the 4th book. It took me a few weeks but I finally got around to reading Retribution. Was it going to hold my interest? Would I feel lost because I hadn't read the first two. The only thing I can say about not reading the whole series is, I'm sorry I didn't. This book was fabulous. A quick read that I couldn't set down. It was heart pounding and thrilling. Yes, I could predict some of it. But it was still thrilling. There were events I didn't see coming. Just excellent.
Don't be like me. Read all four so that you don't miss any of this authors stories. I feel like Lizzy lives next door to me. She could be my neighbor. My Friday night martini buddy. A new friend. WOW. Just WOW.
