REVIEW: Vengeance in Death

Title: Vengeance in Death
Author: J.D. Robb
Finished: September 28, 2011
Pages: 372
Published: 1997
Format: paperback

This was one of my ultimate favorite books of the In Death Series so far.

Eve Dallas has always had issues with her husband’s illegal past, but loves him anyway. When her latest case brings Roarke’s sketchy past into the light and leaves him and his helpful servant as the prime suspects, Eve has no choice but to enlist their help to prove their innocence.

I love this mystery but we learn so much more about the past than ever before, which in turn shows a different side to Eve & Roarke’s relationship.

I’m really enjoying all these books and wish I could read them faster because there are so many more mysteries for them to solve.

Dewey’s Read-a-Thon Wrap Up

So, this is it and while I had tons of fun and wished that I could have stayed away, I caved around hour 17 and tried to take a nap but just couldn’t bring myself to go back to reading and instead went to bed. Oh well, I still got some reading done which was the goal.

• Which hour was most daunting for you? 17 when I decided it was time to take a nap
• Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? I didn’t read any this year but graphic novels have always been great for me to read, and children/young adult books
• Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? I thought it was great
• What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? I loved the activity, there was constant conversation which was great.
• How many books did you read? I finished one book, read one other one, and read half of a third
• What were the names of the books you read? The Final Warning by James Patterson, The Choice by Nicholas Sparks, and The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks
• Which book did you enjoy most? The Choice by Nicholas Sparks
• Which did you enjoy least? The Final Warning by James Patterson
• If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? I cheered a little but was not an official one
• How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time? I’ll be there for sure! I need to get it added to my calendar.

And for the final totals, here are my end stats:

I’m already looking for the next read-a-thon and hoping for better results.
