Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, January 17, 2004
This review is from: Vengeance is Mine (Paperback)
Hope Clarke's latest literary contribution, the sequel to Not With
My Son, takes a sinister look at what can happen with unrequited
love. In VENGEANCE IS MINE we are catapulted into Michelle's world
where the story begins near the mid point of her twenty-year prison
sentence as she anxiously awaits a parole hearing. She has a
daughter that is ten years old and she has never been allowed to
see. She has had time to methodically plan the destruction of the
one person she once cared about but feels has deserted her on more
than one occasion. She wants revenge and wants it in a big way.
Since obtaining custody of his daughter, Chris Walker has become a
model father to Ashley. Aware that Michelle's possible parole could
cause problems, he starts to think about the things that matter now,
getting his family together. Chris has fallen in love with Simone,
the case worker that helped him obtain custody of Ashley. Simone
has also fallen in love with Chris and thinks of Ashley as her
daughter, but she has a dark secret that threatens her happiness.
The decision of the Parole Board throws everyone's life into a
tailspin.
In Michelle, Ms. Clarke has put a face on the phrase "a woman
scorned." In her very heart rendering and chilling page-turner, I
could feel Michelle's rage coming off the pages as well as the
unconditional love Chris felt for Simone and his daughter. Can
their love survive the havoc that Michelle will wreak? This book
had enough twists and turns to keep me on the edge of my seat. It
contained it all, love, sex, suspense, drama, compassion and a hefty
dose of wickedness. The combination made for a good book.

GOOD SEQUEL, December 20, 2009
This review is from: Vengeance is Mine (Paperback)
This book was a very good follow up to Not With My Son. The only problem I had with the book was some of the grammar was incorrect which kept throwing me off. Some of it was written in present tense and then some of it was in past tense. Other than that, Vengence is Mine was a very interesting read.
