"Whatever's happened to you, however you're hurt, you've done it to yourself."

This was not the book that I thought I would be getting in this duology, but I'm not all the way mad at it. The story started with new characters and plots that had to be woven into our original, exciting tale. For the most part they fit in perfectly, but some left me wanting a bit more.

Vengeful was a bit of a misnomer as this really seemed more to be a story of my little Viscious family grieving. Grieving past choices, loved ones, current state of relationships, power and more. While we witness some growth, we also witness these characters being almost a shadow of their former glory and it stings them and us as the reader. The story is still amazingly paced with plot points that had me sitting up straight and screaming! The conclusion was for the best, but it still hurt. The Author did her job and wrapped this story, albeit with a depressing bow hahaha
