Okay first off I want to make a point of mentioning that I
haven’t read this author’s books in years as it felt like she was just taking
same type of characters and plots and just dumping them in another story with different
names, etc. I got bored so I decided after several years of not reading her
books to see if this one can keep my attention. All I can say is with me trying
to give it a chance, VENDETTA ROAD, just made me cringe and I could not
finish this at all. Too much sex, not enough plot and characters that had me
cringing in horror as they moved along the pages of the story. With each page I
turned, I really wanted to just toss the book aside and scrub myself off in the
shower. I felt like the characters were just there to move along the sex scenes
and not the storyline at all. Plus, the graphicness of the abuse and child sex
trafficking portion of the plot left me cold and ready to scramble under the
covers to hide. I wasn’t sure what the author was trying to convey with that,
but it turned me off on more than one occasion as I stumbled my way through VENDETTA
ROAD.
Christine Feehan is a talented author and I used to enjoy
her books but lately it has felt like she is writing just for form and to see
how much sex she can pack into a book plus she missed the boat in regards to
fleshing out the con artist storyline that interested me far more than the sex
scenes. This was not a comfortable read whatsoever and I felt like I had to
stop reading midway just to find a light, happy book to enjoy after trying this
one. I am sure others may disagree with me, but VENDETTA ROAD is dark, borders
on porn and has no plot at all. I enjoy sex in books as much as the next one
but with pages upon pages of it, in graphic detail, unfortunately turned me off
and I won’t pick this one up again to finish it. It just did not keep my
interest and with characters as flat as these, I am not bothering trying any
other by this author unfortunately. It’s a shame because this book had promise
but the author just wasted it.
This is an objective review and not an endorsement

I did actually enjoy this book but you are right about the sex. They are dreadful and I skip over them. Another thing that irritates me is the lack of a good edit. She overuses the qualifier *very* too many times. In 1 book I counted 3p0. And sometimes it's used twice. It also slows the pace too much
