Vengeance

Written by Zane

Narrated by Jewel Rubenstein

From New York Times bestselling author Zane comes a thrilling erotic novel, set in the same world of Addicted and Nervous, featuring a beautiful but emotionally damaged pop star hell-bent on vengeance against the people responsible for her traumatic past.

Decades after fleeing from Atlanta after an unspeakable trauma, Caprice Tatum returns to her roots—only this time she’s Wicket, the international pop sensation who has become a living embodiment of fame and fortune. While she may be have refashioned herself onstage as the perfect diva, selling out concerts and topping the charts, offstage she’s haunted by her past and incapable of the kind of intimacy that could free her heart and mind. She an only see one way forward: revenge against the people who were responsible for what happened to her when she was a teenager.

Yet, as Caprice insinuates herself into Atlanta’s most elite circles—and into the lives of her former tormentors—she begins to unravel, putting herself and the few people she trusts at risk, including Jonovan, her childhood crush whose compassion and allure are almost too much for her to handle. When her father suggests she see a therapist, Dr. Marcella Spencer, Caprice finally begins to pick up the pieces and find her inner-strength.

But can she truly overcome a legacy of pain and suffering? Or will her thirst for vengeance drag her even further into the darkness?

Reviews for Vengeance

[Audrea Williams · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I liked it but I was hoping for a big reveal or something, it kinda calmly ended, no mic drop.

[Shavonna Futrell · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very informative, great storyline, it kept me on the edge of my seat. Wicked, Ladonna and Caprise was something else.

'Vengeance' by Zane was an amazing novel that I couldn't stop listening to on Scribd! It explores the story of Caprice Tatum and how childhood trauma along with mental illness affects the lives of several people. What I enjoyed most about 'Vengeance' is the rawness of it all combined with the lessons that the story taught me. I really enjoyed this novel and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a compelling read.

This book was truly amazing. I really love the way that she dealt with her teenage situation and blossomed into a functioning adult in spite of what happened to her, and I think that this will help a lot of people tell their story or be comfortable within themselves after reading this novel, I love Zane, she's always on point.

A lot of life lessons learned here. Zane drops major keys and wake up calls. I listened to this audiobook at work where I throw cabbage sacks in a dryer all day to make tasty egg rolls. Lol. Great read!! Made my job more satisfying too. Wicket is a beast!

This is the first book I have read by Zane and I found it thoroughly entertaining. The story was fast paced and compelling. The plot was totally believable and it flowed very nicely between the past and the present. Normally, I am not a fan of the past interwoven with the present because the author does not take enough care to weave the two together properly; yet, it so worked with Vengeance. The story is about a young teenage girl, Caprice, who is brutally raped by a group of friends. Caprice escapes from Atlanta, where she is living at the time, in order to put the incident behind her. She ends up in New York City where, by chance, she meets Richard Sterling a billionaire. Richard adopts Caprice and helps her transform into Wicket a wildly successful songwriter and entertainer. Years later Wicket decides to take revenge on the people who raped her. Revenge is best when served cold… or not? Wicket, aka LaDonna, has lots of issues that need to be resolved before she can truly move on with her life. She feels that moving back to Atlanta, to exact revenge, will help her achieve some closure. Her father, Richard, knows her better than she thinks and feels this move is going to be trouble. Therefore, he insists on her having therapy with Dr. Marcella to work through the anger she is carrying. Wicket is sitting precariously on the edge of a cliff between good and evil. The question is will she find a way to let go of the past before it and her retribution destroys her. I received a copy of this book in a giveaway from Off The Shelf. As with any giveaway, I am presenting you with my honest review of the book.

Super megastar Wicket suffers from Intermittent Explosive Disorder. From early childhood, the deck was stacked against Caprice Tatum, from a mentally ill mom to a violent childhood rape, Caprice's life has not been filled with grief. When luck finally turns her way in the form of Richard Sterling, she manifests a new destiny as rockstar Wicket, but now she's returned to Atlanta, where everything began to seek vengeance against those who "done her wrong."Typically I am not a fan of urban fiction; however, I've read a number of novels by Zane and because they are so different from what I would normally read, I end up zipping through them and enjoying them although her writing style is sometimes inconsistent. For me, it's jumping into another world that I have never experienced and to which I never want to experience.
