Revenge
By Martina Cole
⭐️⭐️⭐️

He thought he was invincible. He was wrong.

REVENGE by the 'undisputed queen of crime writing' (Guardian) and Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Martina Cole is an unflinching novel that exposes a world that many would rather ignore...

Michael Flynn is untouchable. He's the boss of a dangerous empire, the biggest the criminal world has ever seen. No one crosses him, no one gets in his way, and everyone does what he says - including the law.

But you don't get to where Michael is without making enemies. Someone is out for revenge. And it's best served when least expected.

I liked this but it wasn’t my favourite of hers I found some of it too similar to some of her other stories and yes I know she has a type and way of writing but this wasn’t as good as those she’s written before. Although it was brutal and possibly more so than others.

This is the first book in the Bonded by Blood Vampire Chronicles. It is a paranormal romance/suspense, with a historical setting; rather than a historical romance with a paranormal twist. This is a distinction to be aware of as it MAY make a difference to a hardcore historical fan!

This story tells the tale of Broderick and Davina, how they meet, what impact on each others' lives they have or will have, tells of the fears they fight, and the enemies who plot against them. There will be an overall story arc running through this series, as the epilogue tells us when Cordelia once again makes an appearance.

With an engaging storyline, excellent world and character building, plus a smoothly paced plot that builds to a thrilling climax, this story is a wonderful start that nonetheless will leave you wanting to know more. Definitely recommended.

Most of what I know about Cleopatra has been taken from what her enemies wrote about her. So yet again, a powerful woman has probably (I mean, can we ever know?)been cast as the wicked villain.

Natasha Solomons has given Cleopatra her own voice - and what a voice it is. She considers herself a goddess, her rule is absolute, and she won’t even put up with family going against her.

Egypt and Rome are the big players here, and seeing the contrast between the two superpowers was interesting, especially as Rome had such a low opinion of women. Cleopatra uses this to her own ends though, and Solomon is careful not to turn her into a seductress. Everything she does (with regards to Caesar), she does for Egypt.

Will we see a follow up book? We leave Cleopatra at about the halfway point of her life, so I really hope so!!
