Dr. Hope Sullivan has lost everyone that mattered to her. She feels utterly ALONE.

Only her work as a medical doctor - and her "avenging angel" side hustle! - get her up each morning to face another day.

Hope has all the material comforts and advantages anyone could want, but her heart is frozen with grief. Unwilling to risk more heartbreak by starting over and seeking a second chance at love, Hope channels her bottled up emotions of loss, and her rage at the forces that robbed her of her idyllic personal life, into using her Krav Maga skills to wreak retribution on the partners or tormentors of her long suffering patients. Even the nasty barista at the local coffee shop gets a visit from Dr. Hope's avenging alter ego!

I'm rating this page-turner a 3.8 out of 5. Dr. Sullivan's character needs a bit more fleshing out, and since this is series, I suspect we will see that happen in the next action-packed thrilling installment! My thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. This book was fantastic! It started off with a bang and continued with a fast but even pace. I was gripped throughout and I couldn't put it down. It was full of twists and turns up through the very last page.

This is a psychological murder drama, with complex (and crazy) characters, in a medical setting. The narrator has had some pretty harsh challenges in her life, and she deals with it by taking some...unconventional steps to right the world's wrongs. The writing is tight and strong, and every person who shows up ends up playing a role in the story.

There are many parallel characters who have challenging lives, and they each respond in different ways. The plot gives readers a sampling of how people can gain redemption, and it explores the question of what is moral when it comes to revenge.

I really couldn't imagine how she would end this, but the ending felt just right. I loved this and can't wait to read more by this author.
5/5
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for an advanced copy for review.

This book was amazing. This was such an interesting plot line and very good at tugging at heart strings. This was pretty fast paced and easy to read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't put it down.
Hoping this will be made into a series as I would love to read more about Hope.
Great writing style and I definitely didn't guess the twists. Will definitely read more from this author.

This was a clever turn of a revenge thriller, it had everything that I was hoping for from the description. The characters were everything that I was hoping for and enjoyed the concept of this story. Carrie Rubin has a great writing style and enjoyed the overall feel of this book.

Whoa!!! This was so good!!! I requested this based on the description. A vengeful doctor out to seek justice sounded right up my alley!

Hope Sullivan is a highly respected doctor. Some tragic events happened in her past that shattered her world. One that sent her on path to seek out justice for the wrongs that have been inflicted on others.

Someone has been sending her messages. Letting her know they know her dirty little secret. Suddenly, she is at risk to being exposed. Hope becomes nervous as her secret stalker keeps moving in on her every move. Who knows her evil deeds? Can she get to them before she is caught?

This story is about revenge, resentment, justice, forgiveness and the rights and wrongs that tie those things together. There was a very moving part in the story that led me to reach out to the author, I enjoyed it that much! Suspenseful and thrilling!

I’d like to thank Indigo Dot Press, NetGalley and especially Carrie Ruben for the opportunity!

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The idea of a female vigilante doctor appealed to me, but this book ended up being so much more. What starts as one thing ends up as another, and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Definitely some twists I didn't see coming. Great characters and setting too. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy. I really enjoyed it!
