The Revenge by Holly Martin

The Revenge (The Sentinel, #3)

by Holly Martin

He was created to be her back up and now he's out to take her place

After the Oraculum orders Eve’s execution, she has to flee her home in the fort as those that have been guarding over her are forced to turn against her. Amongst the chaos, a new Sentinel is named. Adam, Eve’s half-brother.

Adam has spent his life incarcerated by the Oraculum while Eve was allowed to grow up with a family and friends. Now he is hell bent on revenge. He rules over his Guardians and his new kingdom with arrogance and a cold heart, but his one ambition is to make Eve’s life a living hell. Nowhere is safe from him, not even her dreams.

With the threat from the Putarians moving closer, her own Guardians betraying her, the survival of the world hinges in the balance.

Above all else, Adam must be stopped. But when Eve has a prophecy of her and Adam saving the world together, she quickly realizes she needs to work with him not against him.

But can Eve get through to Adam before it’s too late? Or will Adam’s evil heart result in the destruction of all?

Thank you to Holly for sending me a copy of this book to review.

I loved the first two books in this series and I have been eager to start this one since I finished book 2 in July.

This book focuses on Adam. Adam is Eve's brother. When Eve was first created she was very ill so they made a backup in case she died. Adam was their backup. When Eve got better they locked Adam in a cell and basically left him there to rot.

Now Adam wants his revenge on Eve and boy does he enjoy it. Poor Eve really goes through the mill in this book. I was really heartbroken for her. Adam is relentless in his torture and it seems that nothing can stop him.

This book is excellently written, Holly has you on the edge of your seat, furiously swiping at your kindle, while petrified about what is going to happen next.

I am now going to beg Holly to write faster so that I can read the final part in this series.
