♡ Feminine Rage
I can’t really say I enjoyed this book but it was definitely an entertaining read. The inner rage taking over Mel and getting the justice deserved was satisfying in its own dark way. The feminine rage was very strong in this book. A short but satisfying read for any of those who love the darker more gruesome parts of fiction. Anyone who dreamed about letting their rage take over, destroying the people who hurt you, this book turns that into reality. While some of the dialogue came off a bit stiff or unnecessary, the overall book had some nicely written moments too. The last chapter was great, it ended on a good note that fit the vibe of the rest of the book.
