Yes, I think the cover and title reflect the plot well. That multicolored eye you see is Leah's. She is an albino with extraordinary eyes. And of course, one of her first crimes upon breaking out of the prison—the London Eye.

Ashley-Osuna wrote: 04 Aug 2021, 14:42 I like books like this one, because of the moral implications that they arise for the readers. From what I have read from your review, I would think that most, if not all, the characters are morally gray. For example, Leah's actions are not good, and some people might think of her as a villain, but when you read her backstory it doesn't seem fair to do so; it completely makes sense that she would want revenge. This seems like an intriguing read, so thank you very much for the recommendation!
Actually, if you read the book, you will see more of her crimes, which is why she was imprisoned. But yes, even the good guys have some flaws, making them imperfect. That's how realistic this book is :).

Thank you for your recommendation.
I guess that's what the cops need to face after doing their job. Criminals won't stop looking for them to exact revenge, and they have more people besides themselves to protect. The names inconsistency is alright. It only happens a few times, and those characters are minor, so it won't greatly affect the flow.

This seems like a crime thriller with strong development of plot and characters, so I hope the author does another round of editing to correct the errors and the inconsistencies in names. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

Ok, then it should be readable

This sounds like a fascinating book. I can't help but wonder how or why Gabe killed Leah's child. I hope it was accidentally! I think this story is a good example of the sentiment a mother should never have to bury her child. And neither should a father! It is something that stays with a parent to their own grave. Thanks for the wonderful review!

I enjoyed your review. Peggy James took laws into her hands, I hope there are moral lessons to learn from this book about a vengeful mother.

Leah is one vengeful woman out for blood. I wonder how many she intends to kill, to satisfy her for the child she lost. Thanks for the intriguing review.

You're review was very detailed and structured. I am very intrigued to by this and would love to read this book. I love crime and action books and I would love to see if Leah manges to achieve her goal and how Gabe reacts.
