Vendetta by Dreda Say Mitchell
3.0
Dreda Say Mitchell is one of those authors I’ve been meaning to read for quite some time. Yet for reasons unbeknown to me, it has taken me far too long to actually get around to reading one of her books.
I really enjoyed the book, finding myself gripped from start to end. Sadly, however, despite waiting to jump on the bandwagon it does not fall in my top reads. Nevertheless, it was an interesting read and I’m glad I finally decided to give the author a go.
I think what let me down was the number of twists involved in the book. I love a book with many twists and turns in, yet in this one I believe things were taken a little bit too far. Every twist and turn I could think of was thrown in, meaning I was seeing these things coming well in advance. At some points it would have been more shocking if the twists had not occurred.
Don’t get me wrong, it made the book interest but it almost felt as though through trying to make the book unpredictable the opposite happened.
Still, the characters and storyline were great and both won me over.
It was certainly an enjoyable read.
