Foul Is Fair

by Hannah Capin

'Fierce, ruthless and unputdownable' - Karen McManus, bestselling author of One Of Us Is Lying

I point at my hair, and I say, This color. You know what it's called?
She shakes her head: No.
I say, REVENGE.
She says Good girl. Kill him.

Revenge is a bitch.

Jade Khanjara and her three best friends rule their glittering LA circle. They control everything.
Until one night.

The night four boys spike Jade's drink, lock her in a room and attack her. When they try to ruin her.
But they chose the wrong girl.

Jade is made of claws and fangs and cruel sharp edges. Jade will have them clutching at their throats and choking on blood.

She wants revenge. She has no mercy. And now she won't rest until she gets satisfaction.

This is the thriller for fans of Killing Eve and One of Us is Lying. This isn't for the light hearted.

This was an absolutely fascinating read. At first I wasnt sure I liked it as the prose was a bit too much for me, too sharp, too scissoring. But this was actually incredible. I finished it and I was like "Holy shit!"

I absolutely adore novels about revenge. They make me so happy because they're entirely opposite to me as a person and I admired Jade's tenacity. To go through what she went through and to then basically plot the downfall/death of seven people was pretty awe-inspiring to say the least.

I loved every page of this. I probably wouldnt read it again, but it was magnificent. So clever and biting. So unapologetic about what it was. Foul is Fair will likely be a marmite book but I absolutely devoured it. Bravo Hannah Capin, bravo!
