Review: Not What I Anticipated
Rating: 2 out of 5

I absolutely loved Abandoned but not Alone. LOVED! I was thoroughly looking forward to the second book in the series since I grew to adore Jason and Aviva. I was disappointed with For Love and Vengeance. Ms. Henry is a remarkable writer. I love her style and prose. In the first book, I felt that she wonderfully captured the personalities of each character. I also found myself laughing out loud due to some of Aviva's dialogue (she's extremely cheeky lol as the British tend to be).I was disappointed with this book in particular because I felt as if the story was lacking. I understand that Aviva endured a traumatic experience however, the Jason and Aviva I grew to adore became vapid. The story seemed stagnant and I kept anticipating huge developments to arise. I was 70% into the book and yet there was nothing truly happening. Normally, I read books fairly quickly and take my time with those that have truly enthralled me such as Abandoned but not Alone however, it was difficult for me to get through For Love and Vengeance. My interest waned significantly. My hope is that Ms. Henry comes out with another novel that isn't part of the Kingdom series. I would love to read other works by her but unfortunately, this book didn't leave me sated.
