Audiobook Description: 

My first mistake was raising my daughter to be just like me…

His death is reported on the morning news. The man my daughter’s been dating. Dead. Gone…
I blink slowly – once, twice, three times. The hair on the back of my neck rises as I grip my coffee harder. My breath comes in short bursts.
I didn’t even know he existed until recently. Leah doesn’t tell me anything anymore. But I found the letters she hid. I know she fell head over heels for him. That he broke her heart.

And that he’s dead now.

I wish more than anything that the news is only shocking because of who it is, and what’s happened to him.
But I know my daughter too well for that.
My first mistake was raising my daughter to be just like me.

My second mistake might be what I do to protect her… 

Jessica’s Review:

This was the kind of thriller I needed!  It was intense and I thoroughly enjoyed it! This is a revenge thriller with some spice added in along with unlikable characters and unexpected twists! I loved it!

My Daughter’s Revenge has a dual pov with mother (Jules) and daughter (Leah), so that gave it another plus for me!  The book begins with a murder announcement on the news. It is a bit of a slow burner, so don’t be expecting anything super-fast.

The spice was almost too much for me, so if you don’t read books with that, you might want to stay away from the book. But the journey IS worth the read, you could skim through the spice.

I reached the ending right when I got to my apartment after working all day and my mouth just dropped. “WHAT!?!?!” It was great!   

The narrators did a god job portraying both mother and daughter.

Many thanks to the publisher for granting me a copy to listen to and review. I’m going to have to purchase myself a physical copy to go in my personal library. I really enjoyed this one!
