The name of the game is revenge—no matter the cost—in this emotionally charged thriller reminiscent of The Wife Between Us and The Perfect Nanny.
Kerrie O’Malley, jobless and in an unfulfilling relationship, can isolate the singular moment in her life when things veered off course—the night she was irrevocably wronged by someone she looked up to. Eighteen years later, when Kerrie sees the very woman who destroyed her life on television, a fire ignites inside her. The stakes are high. The risks are perilous. But she’ll stop at nothing to achieve the retribution she deserves.
Jordana Pierson is a gilded New Yorker who appears to have it all: wealth, glamour, a successful and handsome husband, and a thriving wedding concierge business. Her record is spotless. Her business is flourishing. No one knows the truth about her and the dark shadows of her past.
No one, that is, except Kerrie.
Exploring just how far someone will go for vengeance, Pretty Revenge is a riveting, compulsively readable novel bursting with twists and turns and plenty of suspense.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Pretty Revenge? More like Petty Revenge. I really couldn’t understand why these grown women were acting so childish.
I’m beginning to wonder if I’m just a bad book judge, because I thought that Pretty Revenge was a thriller and I anticipated some cold blood murder, something scary popping out behind me. Really anything that would keep my up at night.
Sadly, what I got was another women’s fiction novel parading itself with a thriller-esqe cover. Maybe it’s not exactly women’s fic but goodness… I wasn’t thrilled reading it. I wanted something intense and daring, and what I got was a grown woman holding a grudge and instead of I don’t know, being direct and confronting the other woman about it from the beginning she harbored resentment and acted like a petty child.
I’m once again not picking books where I understood what I was getting from the blurb and it makes me really disappointed.
On a positive note, I did enjoy Emily Liebert’s writing and story telling even though I didn’t like the plot of the story, but that tends to happen when you expect murder and you don’t get it.
