BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'Her Revenge' by Emma Tallon.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous
Publication date 22nd March 2021.
This is the first book I have read by this author. It is also the first book in the 'Drew Family' series
I was originally drawn to this book by its eye catching and colouful cover and its intriguing synopsis. The synopsis stated that fans of Martina Cole will love it. I am a fan of Martina's books so am interested to see if it will live up to this statement. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book).
This novel consists of 65 chapters. The chapters are short to medium to long in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
This book is based in UK 🇬🇧. The bonus for me of books that are partly or fully based in the UK is that I live in the UK and have sometimes visited places mentioned in the book which makes it easier to picture.
This book is written in third person perspective with the main protagonists being Scarlet Drew and Lily Drew. The benefits of third person perspective are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out in anything.
This book is extremely well written with vivid descriptions and the perfect atmosphere for the storyline. The synopsis and cover work perfectly with the book cover. I am always wary about trying a new author out but was definitely not disappointed.
The book is gripping and addictive from the very first page until the last. I was absolutely hooked throughout with the suspense and tension filled plot. I enjoyed delving into the underworld and reading about how the Drew family worked within the family, the factory and all the other gangs. I would never have guessed who killed Ronan which is definitely a huge bonus as I've been struggling to find a book that has surprised me lately having read so many crime thrillers. The storyline was intricately woven with so many sub plots iy kept me completely engaged throughout. The way Emma has written it really helps your imagination picture everything going on.
I really enjoyed meeting the Drew family as well as the other characters. I have also learned Emma's previous books were based on the Tyler family who we also met in this series so I am looking forward to going back to read that series as well as any further books in the Drew family serious. Scarlet is definitely a force to be reckoned with as is Lily and who doesn't love a strong kockk @ss female in the crime world!! I was absolutely fascinated by all the businesses that she managed to keep afloat. I also enjoyed reading about what Connor and Cillian got up to and having twins myself it's quite interesting to see how these twins worked. I also had a bit of a soft spot for Ray and really like him. Harry and Jasper are just absolute rats and I am glad about how the book ended. I'm hoping Ruby will pull her finger out and get clean and am looking forward to reading what comes off her. Every single character was strong and had their own unique personalities and each definitely left an impression on me.
I am looking forward to reading more of Emma's books and it would be intriguing to see them turned into movies. Emma, congratulations, you have hit my top author list!!!
Overall a fast paced, page turning, gripping and addictive adventure from the underworld.
Genres covered in this novel include
Thriller, Mystery and Crime Thriller amongst others.
I would recommend this book to the fans of the above as well as fans Marina Cole and anyone who enjoys reading about crime from the dark side..
364 pages.
This book is just £2.99 to purchase on kindle via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!
Rated 5/5 (I LOVED it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
