I so enjoyed the way Angela K. Couch described the characters and their surroundings, it was vividly done and was very well researched. I loved Towan, he is a total dream-worthy guy. Towan displayed courage, patience, and an overabundance of forgiveness. All the while struggling with knowing who he is and whom God wants him to be. Christiana was interesting…. I think she showed courage, and strength in the face of her situation, but I was baffled by some of her choices in life (probably just because they are so far from what I’d make in her situation).
Overall, I really enjoyed the plot/setting of the book and thought that it was well researched, and everything seemed to fit the timeline. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the great descriptions of characters and their surroundings. The prominent aspect of finding out whom God wants you to be and having courage no matter what may come your way.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Revenge ( Out for Blood book 1)
By CY Jones
My name is Shadow.
Assassin, taker of lives
I’m what fears are based on, the one who exists in the shadows, only seen when you look death in the eye, and beg for its forgiveness.
I am the nightmare whose name you whisper in the dark of night.
Your jailer, judge, and executioner all rolled in one.
In my world, my brother and I are ghosts, and we don’t give out second chances.
I thought I knew everything about the world I was born into, but I was wrong.
It took one failed mission to turn my whole world upside down, and I discovered everything I thought I knew was all a lie.
Revenge is still my mission, but now the targets have changed.
I've read a few of this authors work lately and she’s definitely grown on me! The story is intriguing and I’m enjoying her way of writing. There are a few trigger points in this book for some but I feel they have been dealt with and wrote in the right way. I love her men and how they are all different and I’m loving the protectors in he two dads and brother! I really hope she gets the revenge owed to her I’m certainly looking to that book!

Jun 28, 2021 (Updated Jul 18, 2023)
There are many threads that help weave this tale - a husband looking for forgiveness, a daughter lost in her emotions, and a psycho who feels justified in his atrocities. Put them together and you get a tense thriller that will keep you turning the pages until you figure out just who the big bad is. I will say he didn't surprise me when I found out, although I was surprised by how long it had been going on.
The pacing is quite fast and there are a number of supporting characters to help the story move along. Told as a current story, with flashbacks, and also some scenes from the future, it was a little confusing, to begin with, until I got used to the writing style.
This was a quick read that I can recommend.
