Michaela isn't always right.  People paying close attention to the last few books know that her wife and their friends spent all that time trying to pound certain facts about her existence into her head.  But surely they were over-reacting right?  We've all heard the line before in plenty of stories both fictional and real life:  "It can never happen to me."Yes it can, Michaela.  And this is the book where it does.The fifth wonderful read in the Madison Wolves series delves, not only into what finally does happen, but how Michaela deals with it afterwards.  It's a humbling, humiliating experience that fills her with anger, with nothing and no one to direct it at.  The book, as you probably guessed from the title, explores the concept of revenge and what it can do to a person.  You can either act on it, or let it go.  Michaela seems to have a hard time doing either, and so it simply festers.  Complicating matters is that Lara is pregnant.  it's very much a reversal of roles where Michaela finds herself, quite happily, doing whatever she can to keep Lara safe, instead of the other way around, but still having to deal with the feelings of vengeance building up inside of her.  Will she finally snap?  or will she manage to cope?  There is one particularly disturbing scene where we see Michaela believing herself to be functioning normally doing what she loves...it has to be pointed out to her by her friends and family that she doesn't really realize just how poisoned she's become by all that's happened to her.  The ending is very moving, but it leaves certain questions unanswered, and practically guarantees you'll be wanting to know more.It's a book that has action as the previous books had, but also an in depth exploration of revenge and it's consequences.  It's a good read that makes you think, and a good addition to this series.
