All in all, this is a treat for fans of fantasy and superhero fiction.

T.V. Holiday's Vendetta is the third book in the Legend of the Iron Warrior series. Travis has been gone for two years now, and his quiet life is disrupted when he is called back into action and tasked to lead The Iron Warrior. But coming out to take leadership puts him and those close to him in grave danger, as a person he once helped is on an all-out revenge mission. She is the ruthless Candace Loveless, and she poses a threat not only to Travis but to citizens as well, especially those with any ties to him. Every moment poses danger, every move can have deadly consequences, and in this game of cat-and-mouse, can Travis save everyone without betraying his core values? How far will Candace go to exact her revenge?

Vendetta was a surprisingly excellent read in the series, and I found so much to enjoy, especially the clever character development. I was intrigued by how well T.V. Holiday builds mystery around Travis’ personality and wanted to see how he evolves and handles the threats posed by Candace in the story. Of course, when you have a solidly written protagonist, you want the antagonist to be equally despicable, and Candace Loveless is everything I hate in a character — vile, mean, and needlessly wicked. The pacing was fast, and the scenes are focused, filled with action. The entertainment factor is fueled by the well-crafted dialogues, the suspenseful narrative, and the unpredictable plot. I was gripped from the opening pages and had to keep reading until the last scene.

In T.V. Holiday’s Vendetta, book three in the Legend of the Iron Warrior series, Travis Holiday is a man in Carnage Coast who can transform into the armored figure known as the Iron Warrior. His life begins to collapse when Candace Loveless starts using kidnappings, murders, and citywide broadcasts to force him into the open. She knows details about his past that almost no one should, and she uses that knowledge to turn the police, the media, and even people close to him against him. As more attacks hit the city, Travis is blamed for crimes tied to a hidden network operating under his name. He is jailed, publicly exposed, and cut off from the people he depends on, yet Candace keeps pushing him toward one final confrontation built around his history.

T.V. Holiday’s Vendetta is a wildly entertaining superhero story, with plenty of action and a lot of heart. Travis is likable for his relatability as a father, as well as for his alter-ego Iron Warrior, who we see responding to violent threats against other enhanced opponents, and shielding everyday people caught in the crossfire. The world-building is extraordinary and operates through a structure where law enforcement works alongside these human-hybrids who can manipulate natural forces, like the elements, or have engineered devices that affect human behavior. Above this is a larger spiritual conflict, and here is where the story turns into something bigger. Two huge examples are in Travis battling a counterpart known as the Archangel, and another scene where he is given an ultimatum to deny his faith. With sharp, intelligent writing and a lot of great twists, this is a series I am thrilled to be on board with. Very highly recommended.
