Totally Addicted to Reading

In the spirit of full disclosure I received an ARC to provide a honest review.
This is the first book in a five part series and it is of to a good start. My only peeve is in the way it ended. I just hate cliffhangers. 
Revenge is about a young and innocent farm girl named Jess who has come to LA for an internship at Morris Music, an Indie music company. During one of her walks on the streets of LA she happened upon Dylan a street guitarist/singer. The attraction between these two was instantaneous. 

Dylan is quite mysterious and it's evident that he has secrets which he does not want to be uncovered even if it means giving up his dream of being a well established musician. The management of Morris Music is intent on finding out those secrets and has no qualms about using Jess to achieve this as they are aware that there is chemistry between these two.

Revenge is a quick, funny, entertaining and intriguing read. I cant' wait to find what's going to happen next.

After the excitement of book one I was expecting book 2 to be just as exciting or even better. Well it lived up to my expectations and more.

Revenge 2 picks up where book one left off. Dylan had kidnapped Jess and took her to his place of residence. It was during this time that I saw a side to Dylan I did not like. His behavior was quite aggressive and animalistic. This caused Jess to be confused which is further complicated by the fact that she is attracted to him and was not quite sure how to react.

Jess is a naïve virgin who has been called upon by the recording company she works for to seduce Dylan to get him to sign a music contract with them. Dylan is quite aware of this as such it is quite hard to figure out if he genuinely feels anything for Jess or is he planning to turn the tables on the recording company with Jess being the pawn in this entire charade. This is further compounded by his hot and cold behavior towards Jess. 
Then there is the issue of Nick who also works with the company. It is not clear as to what is motives are. In one instance it appears he may be looking out for Jess then the next we see him spying on her and Dylan. What is even stranger is that he has access to where Dylan lives. This has started me thinking that maybe these two are working together somehow.

Revenge 2 is riddled with secrets just like its predecessor. There are so many unanswered questions as it relates to the roles that each of the characters play in the overall scheme of things. 

This time I was quite prepared for the cliffhanger ending but what I was not prepared for was the shocking revelation that Dylan made to Jess. I was like, ‘why did it have too end there’? Now I am going to have to wait patiently for book 3. 

This is a great series that will have readers turning the pages and hankering for more. The story flowed and it was very easy to follow. The characters were realistic and easy to relate to. I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait for book 3 which thank goodness will not be a long wait.
