The Price of Revenge
by Dominique Davis

Can revenge truly heal a broken heart?

Whitney “Whit” Robinson and Sabrina Price have a deep and unbreakable bond forged through years of friendship. They’ve been through it all together, from first loves to family drama, and their bond seems destined to last beyond their college years.

But one fateful night changes everything. Whit is left reeling from the loss of her boyfriend, her once flawless reputation, and worst of all, her friendship with Sabrina. Wracked with grief, Whit devises a plan to get revenge against those who hurt her, including Sabrina.

Whit’s plan is simple: she’ll hurt Sabrina by befriending her estranged half-sister, Jordyn. But as Whit gets closer to Jordyn, she starts to question her motives and wonders if her quest for revenge is truly worth it. As Whit struggles to come to terms with her grief and anger, she finds herself facing a difficult choice. Will she be able to let go of her anger and heal, or will her quest for revenge cost her the one thing she never knew she wanted: love?

4 out of 5 fairies

This has the vibe of teenage TV drama meets Revenge, and I enjoyed reading it, getting to know Whit, and watching her change and grow. My biggest complaint is at times the story moved really slow – it helped showcase the characters, (especially Whit and her transformation), but I didn’t feel the need to keep reading late into the night like I was expecting for a book so focused on revenge (even with some romance mixed in). This felt more like a slice-of-life or women’s fiction than anything. (Not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting). I’d love to say I was surprised by the reaction of all those around Whit who knew about the assault, but I’m not. Davis didn’t sugarcoat it at all, which I appreciated. Overall, a good story, with an excellent MC story arc.
