Reviewed by Joana James for Readers' Favorite

"The Devil's Due" is a book about revenge. One woman faced tragic circumstances that left her scarred for many years. After many sleepless nights, she finally becomes bold enough to face the evils in her life. Her first order of business is to face in-laws who were treacherous enough to sell her house whilst she was still recovering from the tragedy of her first husband's death. After facing them she is finally able to move on and remarry. But there are still skeletons in her closet and she is finally able to move on completely after getting rid of them all.

I found this book rather intriguing. The topic of revenge is always one we skirt around. Sometimes we are told "be the bigger person" but this book allows us to experience, albeit temporarily, the bitter sweet taste of revenge that we all crave. At times I found myself cheering the heroine Jen. I was totally transported into the story and I couldn't wait for Justice to be served. The book was well organised and fun. I did take away one star because at times I found the dialogue a bit rushed. The narrative too sometimes rushed the reader into the next scene of the book. But it was such an enjoyable story that I could live with being rushed. The quotes at the beginning of each chapter show that the book was well thought out and they are very relevant. I even learned the names of the people who coined some of the quotes that I've used in the past. I highly recommend this book.
