Revenge - by Tamara G. Cooper

 

My Review:

I recently finished reading the book "Revenge" written by Tamara G. Cooper, and I really enjoyed it. The story revolves around Aaron, whose life falls apart after the sudden and strange death of his best friend. Despite the authorities ruling it as an accident, Aaron strongly believes that her death was a cold-blooded murder.

Constantly hounded by the media and wrongly accused of causing his friend's death, Aaron desperately needs a place to hide. Fortunately, he inherits his great aunt's estate in East Texas which is secluded and surrounded by dense wilderness. To his surprise, he also discovers that his first love has recently moved back to the area.

However, just as Aaron starts finding solace in this new environment, a woman's body is found on his property on the anniversary of his friend's death. This chilling discovery sends Aaron into a state of shock as he realizes that a ruthless killer is sending him a personal message - there is no escaping from them.

With this realization, Aaron knows that he can no longer hide from the relentless media who are determined to find him. He transforms his estate into a fortified fortress against what he now understands to be an imminent attack. Outsmarting this merciless predator becomes like playing chess with one wrong move potentially leading to his demise.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Revenge" and look forward to exploring more books by Tamara G. Cooper in the future. I would like to express my gratitude to Celebrate Lit for giving me the opportunity to read this book!

 

About the Book

Release Date: May 7, 2023

Aaron’s life shatters in the aftermath of his best friend’s sudden, bizarre death. He firmly believes her demise was no mere accident, as the authorities ruled, but a cold-blooded murder. Driven to the brink of despair by the relentless media shadowing his every move, accusing him of causing her death, he needs a place to hide. Salvation dawns in an unexpected inheritance — the dense, sprawling wilderness of his great aunt’s East Texas estate. There, he discovers another surprise: his first love recently moved back to the area. She intrigued him at fourteen; she completely captivates him at twenty-six.

The discovery of a woman’s body on his property is chillingly timed on the grim anniversary of his friend’s death, shaking Aaron to his core. He realizes the bloodthirsty killer has delivered a disturbingly personal message to him: You cannot hide from me. Suddenly, his secluded sanctuary is exposed, a beacon for the merciless media relentlessly searching for him. He fortifies his estate, transforming it into a fortress against what he understands now is an inevitable attack. The murderer’s tightening noose of fear threatens to ensnare him. Outsmarting this ruthless predator has become a deadly game of chess, where every move could be his last.

More from Tamara

I’m an East Texan, through and through. You should hear me talk! There is no mistaking that I’m from Texas. So, one day, I was wondering: what would it be like if a New Yorker moved to East Texas? Better yet, let’s make him a billionaire New Yorker who wants nothing to do with “rednecks” but is forced to move to Texas. What would motivate him to move there, especially when he’s made it very clear that he wants nothing to do with Texas or Texans? 

 

Running for his life would work. Suddenly, he needs a place to hide. The people after him know of his other homes and have them staked out. So, where could he go? His great-aunt Dottie dies and wills her 6,000-acre estate in East Texas to him. Perfect! It sets him up nicely where he doesn’t want to be. And to add icing to this Texas cake? His first love at fourteen recently moved back to the area where he’d met her on one of his family’s rare visits with Aunt Dottie.  

 

But life doesn’t settle down for him. Of course, it doesn’t, right?  

 

And that’s how this book came about. I love Aaron. Every day, I couldn’t wait to get back to him and his story. He has so much to give and doesn’t even know it. As one of the “walking wounded,” he’s going to discover what really matters in life, but it’s not going to be easy for him.   

 

One thing that’s somewhat different about me as a writer is that I don’t outline my books. I sit at my computer and let the characters tell me their stories. Sounds a little weird, doesn’t it? But it works for me. They take me in all kinds of directions! When the first draft is finished, I consider it my “outline.” Now, the fun begins with editing!  

I love writing. I love storytelling. “Revenge” is one of my favorite stories and, yes, I fell a little bit in love with Aaron. I hope you do, too.
