Retribution by Michaella Dieter

5.0

Retribution is the second book in the Vengeance Series, following Upon Blooded Lips. If you have read UBL, then you know that the darkness that was in that one is going to flow into Retribution. Michaella Dieter is a phenomenal writer and her world building and character building is absolutely amazing!

⚠️ Proceed with caution with these books, they are dark and definitely not for the faint of heart. Michaella's books are the darkest I have ever read and I am here for all of it. Give me more!!

Retribution is just as the title suggests, it's a story of revenge and vengeance, but full of so much sin. Growing up, Rebecca has suffered many forms of abuse and her soul has latched on to this and along with Trey, they will be the judge, jury and executioners. Trey is a dark, dark soul and it calls out to Rebecca's. The chemistry these two have is off the charts! They are two halves of a whole and their broken pieces fit beautifully together.

This may be a romance book, but to get to that, you have to go through the mess. These two work together to deliver their sentences to various people who have harmed them. It is bloody, it is gorey, it is absolutely justified.

This book has given me all the emotions. I cried quite a few times during this book (and still get teary eyed thinking about some of it). It takes a lot for me to cry, but with the emotions that are written into this book, you would have to be made of stone not to feel them. This one does end in a hea, but there is another book coming! I am so excited to see what happens next in Dutch's book.
