"This twisty, original thriller through the dark side of self-help is a breath of fresh air that ends with a jaw-dropping gasp." --Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest
"The Revenge List checks all the boxes of what a thriller should be. Brilliant premise? Check. Mounting tension? Check. Jaw-dropping twist? Double-check. I couldn't put it down!" -- Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of The House Across the Lake
They say life flashes before your eyes when you're about to die. But all she could see was regret.
The people in Frankie Morgan's life say she's angry. Emotionally stunted. Combative. But really, who can blame her? It's hard being nice when your clients are insufferable, your next-door neighbor is a miserable woman and the cowardly driver who killed your mother is still out living it up somewhere.
Somehow, though, she finds herself at her very first anger-management group session--drinking terrible coffee and learning all about how "forgiveness is a process."
One that starts with a list.
Frankie is skeptical. A list of everyone who's wronged her in some way over the years? More paper, please. Still, she makes the pointless list--with her own name in a prominent spot--and promptly forgets about it...until it goes missing. And one by one, the people she's named start getting hurt in freak accidents, each deadlier than the last.
Could it be coincidence giving her the revenge she never dared to seek...or something more sinister?
If Frankie doesn't find out who's behind it all, she might be next.

This gutsy story grabbed me on page one and didn't let go. Original, imaginative, entertaining. Two reasons I didn't give that fifth star: 1) Too much hyperbole; if I had to read about Frankie's head about to explode -- just one more time -- MY head would have exploded. 2) I never give five stars to authors that have the audacity to include a "reader's guide" or "book club questionnaire." While I may have enjoyed your book, I've moved on. The implication that you expect and deserve more time and attention doesn't sit well with me. The only folks that get away with such hijinx teach college literature and, believe me, your work is probably not in the syllabus. Having vented, I highly recommend "Revenge." P.S., I figured out who-done-it pretty early on, but that didn't detract from the enjoyment of reading this fine book!
