I received this book thru #Netgalley for an honest review. This is a psychology thiller like none I read before the story is told by a third party and comes as a surprise as to who. It is in the vein of Hitchcock stranger's on a train feel to it. It's about two families who have been let down by justice. There is a religions undertone of vengeance the concept of the old testament. How to get away with murder and life on lies. This is the first book of a series and I will be reading it. Note their is profanities thru out the book but I highly recommend this book.

5 Stars from me

What is it they say about not judging a book by its cover... Well with a cover as striking as this one I couldn't help but be intrigued and Book 1 of the Talion Series - Eye for Eye by JK Franko did not disappoint.Eye for Eye has it all from murder, mystery, clever cover ups and hidden secrets to police questioning, allegations of rape and many questions of morality along the way.

The characters are well defined and relatable and the scene imagery is stunning, you'll see for yourself when you read it but there are so many descriptive passages that leap off the page and into your mind.Although this is primarily a crime thriller, there is a subtle undercurrent of a wicked sense of humour throughout which particularly appealed to me.

This is a beautifully crafted example of an intelligent thriller. I can honestly say I was hooked from the first few pages of the book and I can't wait for the next one in the series; this debut author has truly made his mark.

As ever, no spoilers from me!If having a brilliant book isn't enough, there is a brilliant book launch coming up soon too - details are here if you fancy coming along to Covent Garden https://jkfranko.com/2019/03/01/limited-vip-fan-tickets-giveaway-be-part-of-the-story-at-eye-for-eyes-london-book-launch/

Synopsis: When I first met Susie, she appeared to be a normal, happily-married woman dealing with tragedy. Then, I uncovered her secrets. While I could understand everything that she’d done, I could never approve.But, knowing what she was capable of, it became clear that if I was going to survive her, I had to play by her rules. And, the first and most important rule is... leave no singing bones.

This is a really good read. It's an unusual style that, for me, took some getting used to. However, once I did, it's a gripping tale about murder, revenge, right and wrong and relationships.

It's got ethical dilemmas, failed justice and grief and it's very well written.

Thanks to Netgalley, publishers and the author for the opportunity to preview this book in exchange for my honest review.

Holy cow, was this a tight, juicy thriller.

All I can say is that I sure hope I am never on J. K. Franco's bad side because he or she could disappear me and never leave a trace! This writer has done his/her due diligence in research and it shows in this smart, well-crafted book.

I love the ethical question posed by this book. What is right and what is wrong when you've lost someone precious and the system you trusted fails you?

I highly recommend and I'm looking forward to the next one!

Thank you to J.K. Franco, Cameron Publicity & Marketing Ltd, and Netgalley for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
