I received this book from the publisher via Net Galley, in exchange for an honest review.

I had a lot of fun with the justice element of this, though in places it felt a little overdone or over easy. Brent is a caricature of a villain, and this would be more interesting if he was more complex and three dimensional.

I also struggled with Dylan’s family background, and wanted more than and her transition into what she does.

That said, she’s a fun main character and I had a great time with her. Her relationship with Daniel was lovely too, even if it felt a bit like “oh now we’re suddenly talking about this elephant in the room despite clearly having said nothing before”.

The justice side was a little light touch, but honestly this is a short book with a lot to cover and so it does it in a way that works for the format.

It’s a bit of fun, and if you’re considering it I’d say def give it a try. 3.5 stars.

Book Review 📚
Look What You Made Me Do by Katherine A Olson - 4.5/5 ⭐

I have been struggling to find a book where the FMC is the greatest character alive. She's the boss. She does it all. She wants revenge. She is CAPABLE of doing it herself. Look What You Made Me Do is the perfect book when seeking a do it all FMC.

Each and every turn of the page will leave your jaw on the floor. There was so much detail behind the story and it just blows my mind! Olson really set the intrigue with this one.

Character development is beautifully done and I thoroughly enjoyed working my way through not only with the plot but with the characters. There's not just the thrill, but there's a story and romance and laughs.

Personally, I couldn't have asked for a better book to finish 2023 with. Olson has a talent and I can't wait to see what else she comes up with.

Thank you to NetGalley and Embla Books for allowing me to read this ARC - this is an HONEST review from my own personal opinion.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I might, as it was not quite what I expected from the blurb! It was as much a romance as a female revenge thriller! So if you like the good combo then you will enjoy this!! Easy read and plot line.

I am hooked! This book is a standout read for me this year. I cannot wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend,

I knew instantly that I would enjoy this book, 4 pages in and I loved Dylan already.

She is Lady Justice, out to right those that have been wronged in nothing but revenge. She was a great female lead, a force of nature, there was suspense, laughter and of course smut (romance).

When the opportunity arises to bring revenge against the one who hurt her sister, how can she say no?

A great read and one I enjoyed a lot.

OH. HELL. YES.

I just imagine "Look What You Made Me Do" blaring in the background as this book was written. I adore vigilante justice, so this was the perfect book for me! Every turn was fun, and it was an easy read that flowed well.

I was excited for this book but found it came up short. Although I liked the voice of the character I had a hard time believing she was really all that good of a sleuth. She barely did any kind of detective work or digging and dressed up a couple of times. I’m all for romance but I felt like it could have waited until she finished the case. The fact that the romance peaks right in the middle of an intense scene ruined the flow of the story. It felt like her job took a backseat to her love life and made it hard to believe she took serving justice all that serious. I would have liked the love connection if it was a romance book because then we could have had more backstory between the two. Adding it to this story felt like too much and made the story feel flimsy. It took away from the main action. I’ll just say it wasn’t a bad book, but wasn’t for me.

Look What You Made Me Do - by Katherine A.Olson is a fast-paced revenge tale. Dylan - the main protagonist is out for blood and acting as Lady Justice she seeks to help wronged women who have contacted seeking help.
Her sights are focused on Brent Wilder and she will use all of her tricks to bring him to his knees and ruin him -not just for the lady who sought her assistance but for her own sister.

I loved that each chapter left you hanging, leaving you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. The writing has a dark humour to it and the story is lightened in parts by Lady Justice's need for love.

A brilliant fast paced thriller.

Thank you to NetGalley and Embla books for providing me with an eARC of Look What You Made Me Do by Katherine A. Olson in return for my honest opinion.

This book was an unexpected gem for me! I’ve been reading a lot of romance and romantasy this year, but I’m a sucker for a good thriller so jumped on the chance to review this book when I read it was a thriller/romance.

This book focuses on our FMC Dylan “Lady Justice”, a vigilante for hire, dishing out some much needed revenge and karma against men that have previously managed to avoid consequences for some pretty horrible actions. Dylan’s “tits up, knives out” attitude is fantastic and had me loving her character form the get go. One of the main plot’s of this book is Dylan targeting a man that started her whole vigilante career, after he got away with destroying her older sister’s life in college. Dylan is badass character, she’s not perfect and has a lot of trauma that she’s working on throughout the book, but this all adds to her character development.

The plot pace is pretty consistent, however at the end I do think the big finale felt a little rushed trying to tie up all the plot loose ends. The plot is also a little heavier on the romance than I expected, I assumed going in the plot would mostly focus on the thriller aspect, but I do feel at times this took a backseat to the romance between Dylan and Daniel (her IT friend that assists with her revenge plots). There was also a whole chapter of spice, which was well written but again was a surprise as it wasn’t what I expected from a thriller!

Overall a really decent debut by Olson, I look forward to reading more of her work!

I Started this book thinking it was a thriller and suspense (there was some) but there was a too much smut that didn’t add anything to the story line. I am a romance reader, but I began to cringe at the smut because of it was out of place for this story.
Also, in the ending where there is some sort of justice, but the reader isn’t told what happens to the bad guy and only the romance is wrapped up in detail. There might have been a little blurb about the suspense development, but I was disappointed that the build up throughout the novel seemed unresolved.
Overall, I was drawn in by the plot because of its potential, but I was left unfulfilled by the ending and the book didn't live up to its potential. I could also go in more detail how Daniels character development was really off track, he started off as this cool calm and collected person then suddenly unraveled to almost unhealthily controlling.

I came for the revenge but I stayed for the romance because I did not see that coming and Daniel and Dylan are one of my favourite book couples to date. Such an interesting book, I felt literally all the emotions and would happily sit and read it all over again.

This started off well and definitely had potential, but I found the middle a bit slow and I wanted more retribution. I also did not like the romantic subplot - it became a large focus of the book (Dylan was ALWAYS thinking about him and it got old) but it was also possessive and patriarchal at times, and the sex scene really rubbed me the wrong way despite the book noting consent beforehand (and rape/sexual assault a theme of the book).

As for the characters, Dylan seemed to have the personality of one of those Instagram accounts that reposts tweets, alongside a thorough disregard for safety (but not in a badass way, like a very very stupid way - inviting people to your fucking house??). Also where does all her money come from? How much is she charging to maintain her lifestyle AND spend lavishly at work (which is marketed through word of mouth and she does probono work). Daniel had nice guy energy at best. Brent was your stereotypically controlling abusive rich boy. I couldn't tell you much about anyone else. I'll minimise spoilers but the final showdown was almost laughable (with an infuriating interruption and unsatisfying ending).

Unfortunately, this was not the badass revenge book advertised. It wasn't razor-sharp and thrilling. It's mostly romance plus Dylan wearing a wig as disguise to take this awful man down, obtaining evidence that would not be admissible in court. I was excited for this, wanted to like it so much, but unfortunately it didn't deliver as advertised. Thank you to netgalley for the arc.

This book was so good! It was intriguing and really drawed me in. I'll be reading more of this authors work.

This was okay, nothing special. I was expecting to love this as the blurb had me hooked however it just felt flat and it didn’t keep me interested.

I really wanted to enjoy this book, it had such an interesting premise and I was really hoping for a revenge narrative with a strong, fun, female lead. Instead the novel couldn't seem to decide if it was a thriller, a romance, or crime novel and yet it somehow managed to be quite bad across the board. Every character is a painful trope (including a gay hairdresser best friend), the main character is incredibly annoying, and the villain is so cartoonish that it is simply impossible to suspend your disbelief and enjoy the story.

Lady Justice, or Dylan, is a revenge powerhouse, providing well deserved karma to men who haven’t had to face the consequences for their actions.

Overall I enjoyed this thriller/romance, however at times the plot felt a little slow (I was expecting a little less romance and a little more revenge based on the blurb). Having said that the final 20% of the book had me hooked and I was desperate to see what happened to the ‘number one bad guy’.

Personally I would say if you’re looking for a romance with a little extra plot going on and a badass FMC, this will hit the spot!

Unfortunately had to DNF this one. The writing was just too simplistic for me to enjoy and the story didn’t draw me in.

cute read, a little bit confusing at the beginning
nice love story
would have liked to go deeper into everything it was pretty surface on all levels but still enjoyed

I loved the premise of this story!! Dylan our vigilante takes vengeance on deceivers, bullies, cheats, and other wrongdoers who deserve her form of justice. An extremely funny, fast-paced read.

Absolutely loved the voice in this revenge / suspense / romantic comedy... Dylan is sarky, snappy and funny. This is a hilarious read. Was so rooting for Dylan's alter ego, Lady Justice, avenging her sister and wronged women against gross men everywhere. I enjoyed the romance between Dylan and beau (don’t want to give spoilers) but felt this took over the second half of the book and the suspense plot tailed off too much, until it came back at the end. Still, I really enjoyed this and the cover and title are fab.
