Review: Action Novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

I was in the mood for a non-literary, non-character driven book and I found one that was exactly what I wanted. Revenge Wears Black has lots of action, lots of intrigue in exotic places, some well-written sexy scenes and a satisfying good guys win sometimes story.The author does an excellent job of sustaining a fast pace, so you have to wait to find lulls that seem the right places to stop reading.I didn't like the "head-hopping." No matter how plot driven a book is, I like to see the author stay inside one character's pov during a scene. In my opinion, to jump between two or more distracts me and breaks the action. I also don't like the author intrusive omniscient pov to create the cliff hangers at the end of chapters. Things like, "He'd soon find out that he had made a mistake." (That's my sentence, not this author's BTW.)I'd give the editing an A-, which is quite good and much better than many books I've read lately. So based all of this, I'll give the book 4 stars.
