Today, I’m happy to be hosting Vengeance is in Her Heart by Cassius Cox.
Blurb
As a girl Catherine Hart loses the person she loved most, her father. In his absence she is subjected to abuse of the worst kind.
In her late teens she finds the strength to fight back, to be the girl her father trained her to be.
As a woman she escapes her dark thoughts by caring for others, until once again life reminds her how disgustingly unfair it can be when her best friend is subjected to a devastating brutal attack.
Catherine’s choice is justice or revenge.
With vengeance in her heart, she reigns down terror and violence upon those she deems guilty.
But in doing so, has she denied herself any chance of being loved again?
Being loved is all she wanted, it’s what we all want…isn’t it?

My Review
Catherine, aka Cat, vows revenge on the men who attacked her friend, Hayley. It’s either justice or revenge, and she doesn’t put much faith in the justice system.>
Her father died when she was young, and after that, she was subjected to abuse. Still, in her late teens, she picks herself up and vows to be what her father trained her to be.
Cat is complicated. She has baggage and lots of it. She’s seeing a therapist to work through her problems and depression. Still, she works in a care home and enjoys her job working with the elderly.
Even the secondary characters, Bill and Betty, are great! They play off each other well.
The book was well-written and fast-paced. I likely would have finished it in one sitting, but ‘life’ happens and interrupted my reading.
About the Author
Born in Dorking, Surrey England.
I love stories, whether it be in film, book, or music. If it moves me emotionally, then I am sold. As a child I used books or films to escape reality, in fact I probably still do. My happy place is the cinema.
My favourite genre is psychological thriller, I prefer a story that is emotionally driven, the darker the better. But I am happy to be recommended a good book in any genre. My favourite work of fiction is One Day by David Nicholls and my favourite non-fiction is Stephen King’s On Writing.
I’ve suffered with depression since I was in my early teens, I’d rather not have it as it’s a daily battle to keep going, but when it comes to my writing I would say it’s a strength.
I am a huge sports fan. I love boxing, MMA and football. These days I am coaching kids football rather than playing. I love watching live sport, you might see me at the Meadowbank stadium watching my local team Dorking Wanderers, or at The London Stadium watching West Ham or even at Wembley watching England.
Favourite holiday destinations are Woolacombe in Devon, Centre Parcs, Florida, Vegas and Thailand.
I enjoy going jogging or going to the gym, but I also like a drink and a takeaway so the two probably count each other out. I’m far from perfect. Who is?
