Vendetta

 In Iris Johansen's Vendetta, the 5th installment in the Catherine Ling thriller series, this newest chapter is fierce and red-hot with tons of dangerous and thrilling adventures. Right after Carl Venable died before her eyes, Jude Brandon promised to find his daughter Rachel and to protect her from danger. Brandon and his team searched for her in the Brazilian rain forest and rescued her before she was targeted. From there, Rachel brings Maria, one of her patients, and her mother, Blanca, along for the ride to safety and out of harm's way. She also learns about her father's death and who killed him. At first, Jude and Rachel had a volatile beginning when they worked together as friends and joined forces to recruit Catherine Ling, one of Venable's former operatives. They needed to bring down Max Huber, a fearless leader of a militia terrorist group, to seek revenge against those who killed his father's a few years ago. This trio had to come up with a witty plan to stop him at his tracks before people would get hurt and lives would be lost in one of his self-destructive ways with a fiery ending that will give you goosebumps right down to the climax. 

This was a phenomenal thriller that features Jude Brandon and Catherine Ling. I really cared for Jude who was set out on a mission to protect Rachel, while he fell head over heels in love with her. I cared for Rachel and her wild red hair, who worked to find cures in the desert, dealt with a tumultuous imprisonment in Afghanistan, and lost a lot when she thrived to live. I loved her take-charge attitude and how she never faltered to take down Huber. I also loved Catherine Ling who helped them out and used her wily resources to find pertinent information they needed to survive and wins in this no-holds-barred showdown. I loved the various locations from the Brazilian rain forest to Canada which had mesmerizing scenic settings to catapult you there. The theme of the story is Revenge is best served cold by not letting your guard down.

If you love intense action-packed thrillers with heart-stopping suspense, non-stop drama, plenty of twisted surprising turns and shocking sparks of mystery along the way, Vendetta is the one for you!
