Dear Readers,

There has to be something a little off about me for how much I enjoyed Vengeance.

I’m serious.

Because this isn’t even the kind of story I say I like. I don’t reach for serial killer books. I don’t go looking for darkness on a shelf. And yet (somewhere in the background) I do. In documentaries. In late-night YouTube spirals. In podcasts I pretend aren’t part of me. So reading this felt like finally admitting something I usually keep quiet.

And maybe that’s why it worked.

Anna J didn’t ease into it. That first sentence? It grabbed me and didn’t let go. I told myself I’d just read a chapter. That turned into finishing the whole thing in one sitting. I didn’t want to look away, even when I probably should have.

There’s something deeply unsettling about the idea of inheriting a legacy like that. Not money. Not a house. But serial killer status. Something stained. The kind of truth that rewires how you see yourself.

And if I’m being honest, I wanted more of it.

That’s my only real issue, the length. It felt too short for what it could’ve been. I kept thinking about Millie, about the stories we didn’t get. There was more there. More depth, more darkness, more understanding that never fully unfolded. It left me curious in a way that felt slightly unfinished.

Still… it worked.

Maybe because it didn’t pretend to be anything else. It was sharp, fast, and a little addictive. The kind of book you don’t analyze while reading, you just keep going.

If you’re anything like me, someone who says “this isn’t my genre” but secretly leans into it anyway…you’ll probably get it. You’ll probably finish it faster than you meant to.

And maybe, like me, you’ll sit there after and think…

why did I enjoy that so much?
