What I Disliked: Mo’s character was a little over the top at times and sometimes I didn’t quite get her Larry and Mo recover from some ‘minor’ gun shot wounds over a period of hours – unlikely in the real world. What I Liked: Vengeance fantasies are usually interesting because of the psychology involved – such as in this book I think Larry did the right thing at the end. I look forward to seeking out other Lorn novels, as mood permits me. Despite the dark nature of this book, I found it compelling and I read it over 2 nights. This is the sequel to the controversial Hope for the Wicked. On the other hand, I don’t think I could read this book if I was in a sad or dark place myself. So on one hand I applaud the author, Edward Lorn, for not falling into that common trap. The violence isn’t all sexied up like what Hollywood usually does with rape. However, Mo had never really lost her desire for it, and eagerly looks forward to this current case. But as time went on, Larry lost his taste for it and urged both of them into the mostly legal and tame job of PI. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Their work has taken them all over the world in the decade or so they have been together. Buy Hope for the Wicked: Volume 1 (Larry Laughlin) 1 by Lorn, Edward (ISBN: 9781986174589) from Amazons Book Store. Hope for the Wicked serves as their introduction and explains how they have come to do what they do, while also following them on their latest - and if Larry has any say in the matter, last - case: to find and return a kidnapped rich family's daughter, and to kill those responsible for the kidnapping.

Each molested as children, they grow up to put an end to it for other children, taking on assassination jobs where the targets are child molesters. And that is how it started for both Mo and Larry. Yet for anyone who has family or friends or who has lived through some tough crap, as captured in this book, has probably held a fantasy of doing some vengeance killing. Honestly, I am not quite sure how to write this review as this was a tough, harsh book.
