Vengeance by Tara Brown Book Review

Monday, June 3, 2013

Goodreads Description:

A man once told me there are infinite places love will take you, but revenge is the business of hate and there is only one place hate will take you, the end. The end of you and the end of everything you once stood for. His words still echo in my mind, next to the images of the millions of places I might have gone.

Vengeance

Amillia Morgenstein wants nothing but freedom. Freedom to choose the man she marries and the life she lives. She wants nothing but the boy she can never have, Maddox.

Her world is turned upside down when her brother betrays their whole family, in a deal to trade Amillia to a Duke name Herrick and overthrow their father.

Broken hearted and fleeing her burning village, she rides away on the back of her closest friend, Artan.

In a neighboring city, rumors of a red-cloaked assassin flood the streets. An assassin who targets only the rich and the wicked. The trail of blood left behind leads back to the burned out doors of a once flourishing kingdom, now ruled by a tyrant.

Broken hearted and bound by vengeance, Amillia finds herself falling for something, she never thought she would have again. Grayson's blue eyes and sarcastic smile have her fighting the feelings she has, just as someone from her past reappears. She fights for her heart and the hope no one discovers her biggest secret.

How far would you go for the ones you love, the ones you lost?

Mature Content!!

Meet Tara:

I am not going to talk in the third person. It feels weird.

I am a Canadian author of Paranormal Romance, Post Apocalyptic and Fantasy novels. Mostly because I think I have Writers ADD, I like to call it WADD. It might be a real thing.

I write New Adult, my books have sexual content (Heck yes) and Swearing. You have been warned. Now enjoy!

I have a beagle named Buster, a husband who I force to read everything I write and two girls who want so badly to be a character in my books. And not in that order.

I am mid thirties so be prepared for the chick lit novel this year. I am calling it my Ode to my Midlife Crisis.

I have been writing since I was old enough to lie. So for some time.

Welcome to my world. Please enjoy the ride.

Book Review:

“The beginning of the end is always a day or a moment that is burned into your mind forever.”

Wow! Tara Brown has done it!

She has left me bewildered and speechless, something rarely done!

Vengeance, perfect title, perfect word. I must say though once I thought I figured it out, she threw me for a loop and made me second guess myself time and time again.

It starts off so gently, soothing... Leaving you with a feeling of tranquility. But Whoa! Hold on!

Meet Amillia, a princess who loves one man with her heart and soul, but he won't have her, yet he loves her to her amazement. Then to confuse matters in comes the bar boy who is really a prince, but also a shifter.

She learns her family is not what she always thought or believed it to be. Her oldest is overthrowing the kingdom killing off his family so that he can rule to her betrothed who is his step brother.

Now if you can get your head around that one, continue on, it's full of love, romance, suspense and yes it will touch you to the very core.

Hats off to Tara who leaves you with a cliff hanger... Are you in?
