Review of Howl of the Banshee

"Howl of the Banshee" by Dave McKeon is a thrilling blend of romance and suspense where love, secrets, and revenge collide. Follow Lou and Kate, secret agents whose quiet marriage plan in Ireland turns into a dangerous rescue mission. With kidnappings, vengeful enemies, and high stakes, this novel delivers emotional depth and nonstop suspense. A must-read for fans of romantic thrillers. Congratulations on being BOTD!

Nice review!

The book’s ability to maintain suspense while developing complex characters is commendable. For instance, the three women seeking revenge—Beatrice Hastings, Anne More, and Evelyn Maxwell—are not portrayed as mere antagonists. Each has a distinct personality and backstory, particularly Beatrice, whose actions stem from a domineering and manipulative nature.

Interest was already peaked by this women-led plot line, so it’s a relief to hear that they were written very humanly (as they obviously should!). I think it's important to note this since there are just one too many examples of character archetypes (female or not) that are written very one-dimensionally when/where they shouldn’t be.

A compelling blend of mystery and romance, this book will keep you captivated until the very end. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves romance novels—this might just be the perfect pick for you

Love and retaliation are two equally potent motivations that have the capacity to drive someone to take heroic or illegal actions.  This appears to be illustrated in the third book of the series, which tells the story of an unresolved matter that will be resolved.
