Hard Vengeance is the ninth book in the Jon Reznick series, and it isn’t holding any punches anymore. As expected with this series – this one is a hard hitting and takes off almost immediately. This time the threat is much more real to Reznick and his immediate family than ever before.
Turner’s storytelling is top notch and you’ll likely have to remind yourself to breath as you’re listening to this one. His pacing is super fast and around every corner feels like there’s another part of the story. Reznick as a character is both brutal but also likeable. His love for the people he holds close is unmatched and his ability to find out what is going on, even when it’s too close to him personally is amazing.
As with all of the other books in this series, Jeffrey Kafer really brings his A game and turns this good book into a great one. His narration really adds a lot to these stories and I’d honestly have a hard time listening to Jon Reznick if it were narrated by anyone else from this point on.
Overall, I really enjoyed Hard Vengeance and I’m glad that I picked it up. I finished it in a couple of sittings and wish I’d had more time to listen to it. If I could have started and finished it in one day I would have.
