MY REVIEW

Ahhh! College memories. Filled with hope, love, regret, and anger. This is Kate’s unhappy and shocking story of revenge on those who betrayed her, who hurt her, and who left her. 

Kate is an analytical, single-minded workaholic who needs excitement and a purpose in life. So when her college friend Becky talks her into attending her thirtieth college reunion, Kate makes plans to get revenge on the people she once trusted and who made her university life a nightmare. Will she feel relieved, or will it all backfire?

Who hasn’t had bad experiences in college? And hasn’t wished they could get even with those who betrayed us? But what Kate has planned is a bit over the top. Her schemes seem justified, but with a dark twist that goes too far and a shocking ending that had me wondering what just happened.

Overall, this is a clever and catastrophic tale of vengeance gone awry. It will grip you from the beginning and never let you go. The ending is staggering and unexpected leaving you wanting more. If you love dark fiction with strange and unpleasant characters, give this book a try.

Thank you to Ms. Fawke for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
