I loved this premise. A woman who is out for revenge. Black humour mixed with a strong lead means this was a string 5/5. I’m going to buy other books I believe she has written. Very fast paced with a great ending (not all great books have great endings…!).
I really enjoyed this book. It was a good balance of romance and thriller. I loved the two main characters and their relationship and how it developed through the book. The story developed at a good pace, kept me interested the whole time.
I was drawn in by the Taylor Swift references in the title and cover and the expectation of some sort of spy novel but I was bored by this book. The premise implied more action.
There were a lot of lines that were quite cringey and I couldn’t imagine anyone really saying them. The relationship between Dylan and Daniel didn’t really convince me. I wasn’t able to get invested in their feelings.
When it comes to Brent, it just surprised me that he let Dylan string him along for that long without putting out. I just couldn’t see someone like him putting in the effort to pursue someone that was clearly wasting his time.
I was really looking forward to this book, drawn in by the idea of the bad guys finally getting their comeuppance. Unfortunately, the book fell short of expectations. Instead of witnessing Lady Justice methodically ruin the villain's life, I got a bit of spice between her and her sidekick/best friend with a disappointing sprinkle of karma for Brent. Lady Justice's role as a vigilante didn't come across as convincing, and her methods left me skeptical that she had ever served justice before. It was hard to take seriously when, after just one day of living next door to her target, they were already an item, excessively calling each other babe and him keeping tabs on her. The concept was intriguing, but it failed to evolve into a compelling story for me.
I enjoyed this book so much. I love a strong kick ass female character, and even better a man who worships her for that strength. It made me laugh, it also made me try to read through my finger at some of the tense points. Cannot recommend this enough.
A fantastic and chaotic read from start to finish - I absolutely adored the concept of this one and had the best time!
This book was an absolute riot from start to finish. A fantastic debut and I want to read more in the future! A woman carrying out revenge plot against a horrible man? Who needs his influence ripped away? Plus a romance with a man who helps her stay safe while she does her vigilante shit? Dylan has been operating as Lady Justice for clients who want retribution. Then a client comes to her for help taking down the very man who hurt her sister, she of course will stop at nothing.
I liked Dylan a lot and the risks she took her job made her quite brave. I also liked how often it was clear she trusted her instincts and knew when there was a point it was necessary to step back and reassess. It made her dedication to her job more believable.. She was smart and resourceful. She also had the help of her brilliant IT friend Daniel, who I became so obsessed with. I loved how well the romance plot was woven into the suspense, it isn't normally something I go with but I really really enjoyed it in this context.
Also the Taylor Swift references? I can't be the only one that found them!
Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review. The blurb sounded just like my type of book so I was excited to read it. The premise was very good and I really liked the relationship between Dylan and Hass. I found myself on the edge of my seat a few times! The book has a bit of everything from psychological thriller to spice. My only critique is that I found some parts of the story a little over the top and not really believable which is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5. Overall an enjoyable read that I would definitely recommend.
2.5 stars
this book, while promising, fell flat for me unfortunately. in some parts it was good but i found myself skimming a lot of it which was disappointing as i had been excited to read this.
I expected this book to be more on the thriller side to the romance side but felt that it tilted towards more of the romance side which let the story down slightly. I did still enjoy the book however felt that it was in some sort of limbo at times as it didn't quite know what genre it wanted to be. I also wished that the ending was more satisfying than what we got.
Overall I would recommend for people to read but just to be aware that it more romance and less thriller than what the blurb makes it out to be.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
This book drew me in from the start, by the cover! Dylan was a fantastic character and I fell in love with her. My only negative is that the book couldn’t quite make up whether it wanted to be thriller or romance!
Based on the blurb this book should have been right up my street - and I did enjoy it, but also felt a little mislead. As the blurb suggests it's all about the story of revenge - which is what had me interested - however it becomes much more about the side plot of spicy romance. So it felt at times like the book couldn't decide what it wanted to be, especially when it came to wrapping it up - I feel the ending could have been much more satisfying than it ultimately was.
I give it a solid 3.
So I requested this book as I loved the front cover and I'm so glad I did! a really good vigilante revenge story well written with fab sassy characters! I will certainly look for this author again, I had a brilliant weekend reading this! Thank you Netgalley x
This book is EVERYTHING, Dylan is the new best friend I never knew I needed, and, I am the super fan that she never wanted. I loved everything about it
God I loved this book. Pacey and fun, this was the best way to start off a new year of reading. Thank you for the advanced copy in exchange for a review.
This book is loads of fun and has the right amount of humour to support an incredible plot line. The main character is a laugh and it is a real ride alone read as she wends her way through a predictable but fun scenario.
Dylan Thomas is Lady Justice, helping women get revenge on men and bringing them down. Her latest case pits her against a man who has really hurt her family. Thrown in we also have Haas her love interest. The book had some great scenes but overall I felt it lacking
Lots of laughs, a dollop of romance, a dash of spice, and a thrilling plot. Look What You Made Me Do follows Dylan as she wreaks vengeance, as Lady Justice, on all the men who have wronged women. She battles personal trauma and is given the opportunity to get retribution for the attack on her sister at college. The side story veers away from the thriller element and leans into the romance. This is a quirky fun read perfect for fans of How to Kill Men and Get Away with It and Death of a Bookseller. As a fan of both romances and thrillers, this ticked both boxes for me. #lookwhatyoumademedo #katherineaolson #embla #netgalley
Starting the new year off with a bang. This story is a mix between rom com and thriller. The main character, Dylan, also known as Lady Justice, fights to right the wrongs outside of the law. Along the way she partnered up with tech engineer, Daniel. The main story line focuses on Dylan going after a man who not only has a connection to her client on the professionally but also has a connection to Dylan personally.
I was expecting this book to be more thriller and less romance. Turned out to be the other way around. I didn't find myself invested in the thriller portion of this book and more into the romance storyline. To me it felt like the guy Dylan was going after was a side story to the main goal of getting Dylan and Daniel to recognize their feelings for each other. I was happy about the ending for the two main characters. I do think the storyline of the tech CEO being taken down wasn't wrapped up and the author could have gone into more detail of the trial and how the articles were received, etc.
Overall, enjoyed the book. If you are looking for a romance with a little bit of thrill on the side I would say this is for you.
Thank you to NetGalley for sending me this ARC for an honest review.
Thanks to Netgalley, Embla Books and Katherine A. Olson for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Wow! I absolutely LOVED this book!
I especially love revenge trope thrillers and this did not disappoint.
Dylan was a fantastic main character, she was funny, charming, charismatic and fierce.
Her chemistry with Daniel was off the charts.
The writing was addictive, I was pulled in from the very first page. I couldn't put it down and binged the whole book in a day.
I'm excited to read more from this author.
5 well deserved stars from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
