“Revenge Never Rests” is an emotional story about a relationship that was lost and then rediscovered. Ms. Lewis does a great job capturing sentimental moments between the characters. However, the first half of the book is very slow-paced and a bit difficult to get through. Because the character development is insufficient, readers may find it tough to connect with them. Nonetheless, the second half of the book does pick up the pace quite a lot, and makes for a very fast-paced and action-packed ending. Ms. Lewis is also very descriptive in her writing. The reader will feel as if they are a part of the scenes within the story. “Revenge Never Rests” is a thrilling book filled with tender moments between family and friends that will make readers misty-eyed.
