Editoral Review
Sweet Retribution, the latest novel from bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is a thrilling and emotionally charged addition to the new adult romance genre. With its gripping plot, complex characters, and intense themes, this novel will captivate readers from beginning to end.
Set against the backdrop of a contemporary college campus, Sweet Retribution follows the story of Abby, a young woman seeking revenge against her former boyfriend, Kai. After years of physical and emotional abuse, Abby is determined to make Kai pay for his crimes, no matter the cost.
Along the way, she finds unexpected allies in the form of two other women who have suffered at Kai’s hands, and together they plot their revenge. At its heart, Sweet Retribution is a story about the power of sisterhood and the importance of standing up for oneself in the face of adversity.
While the novel touches on heavy topics like abuse, trauma, and consent, it does so with sensitivity and nuance, never glossing over the painful realities of these issues. In terms of writing style, Davis excels at crafting vivid descriptions of both people and places, immersing readers in the world of her characters.
She also excels at developing multi-dimensional, flawed, and relatable characters, particularly Abby, who grows and changes significantly over the course of the novel. That said, there are some weaknesses to the book, particularly in terms of pacing.
While the plot is generally well-structured, there are certain sections that drag or feel repetitive, and some readers may find themselves itching to skip ahead to the more action-packed scenes. Overall, however, Sweet Retribution is a compelling and well-crafted novel that is sure to appeal to fans of the new adult romance genre.
With its powerful themes and memorable characters, it is a book that will stay with readers long after they have turned the final page. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
Recommended for fans of new adult romance and stories about survivors of abuse.
