Synopsis:
Forbidden
Attractions. Dangerous Alliances. Shocking Betrayals.
In Fallen Oaks, a pack of wild dogs is blamed for a wave of vicious attacks; Shiloh Trudell wishes the cause was that simple....
With fierce lycans and shambling zombies and overly aggressive jocks--oh my!--creating chaos in this small coastal town, fighting evil isn't the only thing keeping Shiloh, the resident demon hunter, busy. Especially when she uncovers a devastating secret about the green-eyed boy who takes her breath away.
Not surprisingly, Shiloh's personal life has started to fall apart. Her loving father? Dead. Her so-called mother? Dark sorceress. Her hottie boyfriend? Leaning toward the dark side.
Can't a girl ever catch a break?
Against his better judgment and despite his overprotective nature, Trent agrees to help Shiloh on her mission to expose her father's murderer. But as Shiloh sets out to kill the creature that threatens the town and exact her own brand of vengeance, she soon realizes that sometimes the hunter...also becomes the hunted.

My
Thoughts:
The
Cover: Reckless Revenge has a pretty dark cover. Shiloh in
the forefront, the wolf on the cliff in the background, ravens flying
overhead. The moon shining brightly in the background. A cover to
match the story, dark as Shiloh feels as she searches for her fathers
killer.
The
Plot: I have to say that out of the four books so far, this
one has to be the best one yet. The story was fast paced and action
packed right up to the epic battle with the baddies! There was a
natural order and progression to things that kept me totally wrapped
up and guessing who the big boss was. I honestly could not guess who
was running the show, which frustrated me to no end, because I really
wanted to know. I loved how everything is coming together as our
story progresses, getting more and more intense with each bomb that
gets dropped on our pretty, kick ass heroine.
The
Characters: Shiloh still kicks ass. I love watching as she
comes into her own, becoming a stronger witch, battling with her
inner demons and fighting for what she knows is right. Returning
characters continue to surprise, as Trent becomes something other
than just a normal teenaged bad boy, Ariana gets more of the side kick
role I was hoping she would and enemies reluctantly become part of
the gang. I love the way zombies come into the story, kinda
accidentally on purpose, but not your regular run of the mill
zombies. Yes, they still eat brains, but come on, being a zombie
sucks, okay? I am looking forward to learning more about Malphas and
Raze and their part in Fallen Oaks strange happenings. I like the
lycan as well. They are everything I would expect out of the furry
four leggeds and I wonder how things will unfold with them as we go
forward.
Is
It Worth Reading? Totally!! I loved Reckless Revenge, it was
an amazing story and has to be my favorite out of the series. That
being said, I think the high school football team being turned into
lycans was a little bit clique. It just seems like in every YA
werewolf movie or book, the football team in targeted. Give me an
alternative any day, but that was the only complaint I had with this
latest installment of the Spellbound series. I look forward to
Destiny Disrupted and highly recommend Reckless Revenge to readers of
YA Fantasy and Paranormal. Reckless Revenge gets 5 out of 5
crossbows.
