Here comes trouble…

Despite being raised by the notorious Murphy family, Terri Tempest has somehow turned out to be a lovely girl. But when Terri has enough of the abuse from her Uncle Michael, she runs away and takes refuge with Rina and Archie Taylor who own a local pub.

Terri knows she’s a Tempest by blood, but she’s terrified of her half-brothers Ricky and Jamie. Their reputations are even worse than the Murphys.

But when tragedy strikes at the pub, Terri blames herself. She knows there’s only one way to get her revenge and justice and that means joining forces with her brothers and the family firm.

Can Terri prove she is Tempest by name and by nature? Or will she be the Tempests downfall?

Justice Review:

I hadn’t delved into any previous books from “The Tempest” series, but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this book as a standalone.

As the story unfolds, you find yourself becoming more and more engrossed with the Tempest family and their characters. I couldn’t tear myself away from the pages as I followed the intense rivalry between Frankie and Raymond on one side and the Tempest brothers, Ricky and Jamie, on the other. The author throws in some surprising moments, like when Jamie, Ricky, and Mason launch an unexpected attack at Frankie’s hideout or an unexpected death occurs due to their feud. Surprisingly, the author manages to make you root for the Tempests despite their involvement in some shady dealings, and I really appreciated the thrilling scenes.

Moreover, the author weaves in a touch of romance, and I found the relationship between Terri and Jonny quite engaging. Jonny is far from perfect, but his charm shines amidst all the action.

Additionally, the author infuses humor into the story, like when Terri meets Patricia. Some of these scenes had me in stitches. I also enjoyed the bond that Terri shared with Rina.

Finally, Raymond and Michael gave me the shivers, and I had no clue about their next move.

All in all, “Justice” is a gripping, action-packed thriller that has piqued my interest in going back to read the first two books in the series to understand how it all began.
