Review: Ricochet by Keri Lake

*****5 Stars*****
 
 
Wow, this is a powerful and very dark book. It's my first by Keri, but I promise it won't be my last. This woman holds nothing back. This book is brutal, and bloody. It is not for the squeamish, but if you have the strength to tough it out, I promise it will be well worth it.
It's a pretty basic revenge plot. Nick Ryder's wife and child were brutally murdered, and Nick was left for dead. But he didn't die. He survived, and now he's out for revenge against everyone who had anything to do with the death of his family. Especially, the man who ordered the killing, the corrupt Mayor of Detroit, one Michael Culling.
To that end, he kidnaps the Mayor's beautiful wife, Aubree Culling, but things are not as they seem. It turns out that Aubree is as much of a victim of the Mayor as Nick himself. Aubree views her kidnapping as a godsend. And she views Nick as her dark savior. But Nick can let nothing stand in the way of his vengeance, including Aubree.
The sex in this book is plentiful, and hotter than asphalt in July, but it's the violence that will probably stand out for you. Nick is not afraid to do what is necessary, and the author is not afraid to describe it in gory detail.
Will Nick and Aubree find redemption in each other, or will his vengeance destroy them both? You'll have to read it to find out, but I can tell you that this is a standalone novel, so you won't have to wait to finish the story.

The only sure way to destroy a man is to take what he cannot live without.

Three years ago, I had everything.

A beautiful wife.
A son.
A reason for living.

Until a ruthless task force, assembled under Mayor Michael Culling, with a brutal strategy to make the streets of Detroit ‘safe’, ripped away everything I loved in a deadly hunt called The Culling.

They tried to kill me, too. I wish they had. Now I'm cursed by the memories of that night, and the words I whispered to my dying wife.

A promise—to avenge the wrong and set it right.

I’m no longer Nick Ryder. I’m a masked vigilante. Faceless. Loveless. Fearless. A man with nothing left to lose—one who's seen the dark and violent truth behind the city’s flawless veneer.

Michael Culling doesn’t know who I am. Or what I want. All he knows is that I’ve kidnapped his beautiful wife.

An eye for an eye—isn’t that how the saying goes? And Aubree Culling is the perfect pawn to destroy him.

If she doesn’t destroy me first.
