"Vindictive" by Isobel Sheene
What do you think of this story? What do you like most about it?
This story dealt with a very serious topic. I like how this story unique applied the theme by having the person seeking revenge not be the living victim.
What do you think?

This was one of the fastest stories in the book. It seemed like I'd just started it and then it was over. I like it when a story is a real mover.
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

This story made me think of that line of music.
I liked this story a lot, and I found it very interesting as to the victim's lack of desire to "fight back" in the courts. I've seen that happen in real life, and of course I disapprove of it. (On some level, though, I understand it, I guess.) The author is very talented to capture that.

The sibling's relationship in the story reminded me a bit of me and my sister , we have each other's back in any situation. in a quite compulsive way
I liked the twisty ending , I didn't see that coming

I really wanted the revenge to be darker than just a stabbing. I kept thinking that the flashlight would have something to do with the revenge.
