An exciting and original read with lots of twists, turns and red herrings. I loved the revenge list premise and the protagonist’s anger management issue which kept getting in her way.

A list in the wrong hands!
A bit of slow burn, but that amazing plot really does it justice. More mystery than thriller and with a synopsis like that you would expect this book to give you that sense of intense excitement, suspense, and anticipation.

Overall not a bad read.

Another great thriller from Hannah Mary McKinnon that kept me guessing right 'til the very end. She always writes interesting characters and unique plots that draw me in right away. While I did find the MC, Frankie, a bit much at times I enjoyed following her journey. If you're looking for a fun + fast paced thriller I'd recommend picking this one up.

Thank you to Hannah Mary McKinnon, NetGalley and the publisher for an early review copy in exchange for my honest opinions.

This is my 4th book by this author and I think my new favourite! I started it in print last night and listened to it on audio in its entirety today. It accompanied me on my walk through our beautiful public gardens, which felt like quite a contrast to this sinister and twisty plot!
I am not primarily a thriller reader, but I do really enjoy this author and The Revenge List, out today (May 23) kept me guessing the entire time. It's a good one to go into blind although some trigger warnings to be aware of (in comments ). I could not put my finger on what was going on at all, much like the main character, Frankie, although I was a bit less mad about it than her (she has clear anger management issues as a major facet of her personality).
I also enjoyed that this thriller explored different family relationships than a couple which is so commonly done. Hannah Mary really excels at these slightly less common family dynamic thrillers and without saying too much about the book, I found all of that very interesting. (Frankie is quite close to her father and brother in the book).
This one would make an ideal beach read because it's very hard to put down and I also enjoyed the audiobook narration a lot and it's on @hoopladigital!! Go check out @hannahmarymckinnon 's bio for more info about the new release and big congrats to her on pub day!
Thank you so much to the author and the publisher for the gifted copy!

Hannah Mary McKinnon is one of my favourite authors, so I was excited to read her latest release! Although The Revenge List isn’t my favourite of her novels, I did enjoy it. I really look forward to her next release in hopes it is a bit more to my liking.
Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an ARC of this thriller!

I struggled with the main character. I did not like her and the decisions she made or how she acted made me want to shake her.

*full review will be posted*

Thank you Netgalley & HTP Books for an eARC of The Revenge List by Hannah Mary McKinnon!

Frankie Morgan is angry - Hence why the book kicks off at an anger management session in which she has to create a forgiveness list - but for her, it's more of a revenge list. The list goes missing, and one by one, the people on it start getting hurt in what appear to be freak accidents.

Frankie is such an interesting character - I loved following her and learning more about her life and background. I found the ending to be a bit far-fetched but still enjoyed it nonetheless! As always, I can't wait to see what McKinnon comes up with next. This was a fresh, unique book for the thriller genre that had me laughing, too.

This reminds me of one of the scenes from Billy Madison where the guy has a revenge list but crossed with a secret vigilante. Of course, Hannah Mary McKinnon writes a fabulous thriller and this wasn't an exception. I really enjoyed the plot and the characters. Frankie just has sooo much anger inside of her, and I think we have all felt that at some point in our lives. We have all wanted to seek revenge. I probably wouldn't have added myself to my list, but Frankie isn't me. Alas, the plot thickened.

This was a good weekend thriller for sure.

Oh, I love a revenge plot! This one is a little different because we aren’t exactly sure who is exacting the revenge…which I loved and had us pointing a lot of fingers during our buddy chat!
Yes, Frankie made the list but it starts out as a forgiveness list she was tasked to create in anger management class. The notebook she wrote it in goes missing and then terrible things start happening to the people on it. (Let the finger pointing commence!) Frankie has her suspects but, with her anger issues, she’s not the ideal candidate for confrontation. (Insert the police beginning to know her on a first name basis.) The ending was action-packed and shocking and so love how everything wrapped up.
This is a quick, suspenseful read that is definitely fun to read with friends!

📝 BOOK / REVIEW 📝

@hannahmarymckinnon is BACK!! Sending out a MASSIVE thank you to both @_mira_books_ and @netgalley for my #ARCs of #therevengelist, which published May 23, 2023.

This one has been on my backlist forever, so I grabbed it from @hoopladigital and thoroughly enjoyed the #audiobook version (#laurenezzo was a tremendous narrator!)

I really loved the premise behind this book and often wondered if I would ever make a revenge list and who I would include 🤔 I struggled a bit with Frankie's character, but that is because I felt she was well written! The book is fast-paced, and I thought the ending was 👨‍🍳💋. I feel like this one begs for a sequel - I love #thrillers that keep you guessing well after the book ends.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At the start of this book Frankie annoyed me with her anger issues. As the story developed I began to understand Frankie and actually like her.
Even though I figured out who was exacting revenge I still enjoyed the suspense. I hope there is a sequel for this one. Thank you Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my review.

Holy bananas! This read was WILD and SO Good!! Longtime fan of Hannah’s writing, this story did not disappoint! Thank you to Harlequin for this review copy!

Frankie is an angry woman. That’s why she finds herself in anger management classes. It’s what happens after that initial class that puts her on a collision course for a wild ride! She’s got good reason to be angry, her Mom was hit when she was younger, her clients for her dads construction business are crazy and her next door neighbor leaves a lot to be desired.

I find myself understanding Frankie, people are simply “crazy” in this world we’re living in. This story was written so well, it was easy to become interested and stay that way from the first chapter to the last. The characters were well developed and the plot, climax and ending were awesome! I really enjoyed this read and I’m giving it four stars! Highly recommend this one as well as Hannah’s earlier reads.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance reader copy of this book. This book has a main character that is miserable and horrible, yet, I couldn’t get enough of her. Great story telling with lots of twists. 4 stars

Frankie's father once her to attend anger management classes and try to calm some of the anger within her. On the 1st night Frankie tries to listen to the leader as much as she can and hears her assign their first task, which is to write a forgiveness list of all the people they need to forgive. On a weird change of events, Frankie gets into an altercation with one of the group members and she takes a strange uber ride and her list is mysteriously missing. If that's not enough to spook you, the worst happens. People are killed one by one on her list so she sets out to catch the killer before its too late.
. I flew through this twisty,exciting thriller series. The Revenge List is a breath of fresh air that ends with a jaw-dropping gasp. I just think this book was done perfectly to frighten and keep you interested.

Interesting thriller! This book kept me guessing right until the very end!

This psychological thriller was unlike any other I have read before. The rush to try and protect those on the "revenge list" was a well thought out part of the overall tale. I highly recommend to all those who love a psychological thriller!

When I first saw this title, I immediately thought of Arya, from Game of Thrones, and her “list”.

This one had a lot of potential, but parts made me irrationally irritated. Which is funny because the main character has anger issues. The book starts with her in anger management where she needs to write down a list of name of people she can work on forgiving. But then her list goes missing and bad things start happening to the people who were on her list.

It’s a quick read and if you like who done it books then I would recommend this one.

Frankie Morgan is a ticking time bomb of rage. Since her mom died 19 years earlier she has been trying to feel something, anything. Anger is her answer to everything and it keeps landing her in trouble. As she seeks out anger management, she takes the forgiveness list exercise and makes it her own persona revenge list. She was wronged, not them. As people are getting hurt and dying though, she needs to figure out who is using her list because her name is on there too.

I loved the idea of this book I just wish the protagonist, Frankie, wasn't so self-destructive. I know it was part of why she was in anger management but her choices were hard to believe after a while. Despite that, I really enjoyed the unique premise and the twist of who was behind the murders completely surprised me! I would totally pick up a sequel...

3.5 stars

Thanks to Harlequin and MIRA books for the copy to review.

This was my first time to read Hannah Mary McKinnon and I definitely can’t wait to read more books by her. I lover her style of writing and the way she weaved the story all together. Frankie Morgan is a tough angry lady. She is enrolled in anger management classes but those seem to push her over the edge. She works for her Dad and has had a difficult time in her teen years with a pregnancy and loss of her Mother. She has a list of all the people that have wronged her in life. Each person on her list start to get hurt one by one and each accident is deadlier than the last. She finally meets her son and realizes he is responsible for some of these events.. The novel is full of twist and turns. You will definitely love this book.

My first foray into Hannah Mary McKinnon was Sister Dear (which was amazing), so I was thrilled to receive an ARC of The Revenge List. Once again, Ms. McKinnon hit it out of the park! The Revenge List was the ultimate domestic thriller, filled with family drama, heartbreak and deep secrets. I thought the characters were developed flawlessly, and the storyline was well-executed. Don't sleep on this one!!
