Hillary: Retribution by Angel Gelique
3.0
Retribution is the conclusion to the #HillaryTrilogy, and could have been the best story of all three.
The first one is twisted & sick. Nice.
The second one is a prequel, also twisted and sick - but with more meat. Very good. BUT - even gore-gals have limits, and mine is in the second book. I could have done without the details re: Hillary's little brother. That's just one girls opinion - don't let it influence your 'to read or not to read' decision. Minus that - it's my fav in the #HillaryTrilogy.

I'm not a writer, or a professional anything, so I hate saying things like 'you can see how the author's style has grown as the trilogy progressed', but... yeah... that.
THEN... the ending...
It's like my rants on Stephen King.
You can't throw in something 'supernatural' at the final conclusion of a non-supernatural story just for an ending!
I might have been less angry with an "...and then she woke up" conclusion.
So... all in all... I'm happy I found [a:Angel Gelique|6494965|Angel Gelique|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1380400806p2/6494965.jpg], (LOVE the name btw), and that I've started reading her books. (No hard feelings on this review, K?)
