Sweet Little Revenge

I’ve been wanting to read the second book of this hawt little duet for ages! The plotline grips you from the start, it’s very dark… please check out the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book. Let’s chat a little about Scarlett because the way her character doesn’t back down from challenges, all the emotional and physical trials, is commendable. Kristy Ozolina, you really know how to make a reader’s heart ache, don’t you? She’s so strong! And Hayden, an unhinged serial killer, plus a cutie-pie? COME TO MAMA. I love how devoted and loyal he is to her, no matter what. The tension! Crackling like thunder! Amazing sequel. I do prefer this one if I’m being honest… It’s paced and written very well. Everything flows just right. (Read from an eARC.)

Wow – I don’t even know where to begin, this book consumed me, hands down my favourite out of the two! The first half was so dark and raw and tough to read, but it was written so perfectly, that I honestly felt the pain Scarlet was going through. (Please read your trigger warnings – the first half is very dark) Even though our FMC had to go through the most horrific things, she came out as a fighter, she battled / still battles those demons, and now helps heal others and I’m just in awe of her character growth! And Hayden 🤤 god we love him!! The absolute definition of a man who’d burn the world down for his woman… I loved the glimpses we got of his pain, and how he was struggling with what happened to Scarlet. And then just their breathtaking raw love that they have for each other… honestly I just adore the two of them. And that’s why I spent the whole of the last 2 chapters sobbing my heart out, I’ve never been so happy at the end of a book before 😂 talk about a HEA!!! Wow!! Thank you Kristy for allowing me into this dark, twisted yet beautiful, heart wrenching world you have created.. 🖤

This book completely wrecked me in the best possible way.

I loved this duet. Sweet Little Revenge kicks off with drama immediately! The details and descriptions are written beautifully, allowing the reader to bring the story to life in their imagination. This book is filled with many emotions, allowing you to feel more connected to the characters. Hayden is a strong male character who definitely gives off the “will burn the world for you” vibes!! Scarlet is a beautiful strong woman who will always put others before her! Kristy has really brought these characters to life! A brilliant dark romance! Now this book is part of a duet so please read Sweet Little Devil before reading Sweet Little Revenge. Please check the trigger warnings before reading as some may be upset by the material written.

This book was even better than the first one. A lot darker than the first one so if you aren’t comfortable with reading about torture and SA then this isn’t a book for you. …The amount of emotion that is through this book is incredible. One thing I will say is that even though she went through a horrible ordeal and saw herself completely different, Hayden never stopped looking at her like he did before it all happened. And he helps bring her back.

The amount of times I had to stop to cry, broke me so much within part one. I was not expecting this at all. My heart broke for what Scarlet went through. I could feel my heart breaking along with Hayden. Part two seeing her struggles with coming back into the world and adjusting back into ‘normal’. Watching her struggles within herself, towards the world and trying to process everything, broke me again. Part two made up with all the tears. Seeing Scarlet grow and work through her struggles was brilliantly written. And using her trauma to help children that had been through similar trauma like herself, creating a safe place for them to connect with others, be themselves, learn how to heal. Truly amazing. I will never forget this book, I will always be thinking about it. The ending was perfect.

Sweet Little Revenge is the second book in The Devil’s Duet, and dare I say… my favorite of the two! Yes, I said it! This book completely consumed me—I could not put it down for a second. With a dark and intense storyline, especially in the first half, this book pulls you in and doesn’t let go. Kristy Ozolina knows exactly how to write raw, gut-wrenching emotion, making me feel every ounce of Scarlet’s pain, strength, and resilience. And then there’s Hayden—his love and devotion are nothing short of breathtaking. The angst, the tension, and the passion between them? Absolutely electrifying. …Despite its dark themes (check your triggers), at its core Sweet Little Revenge is a stunning love story—intense, passionate, and deeply emotional. If you love dark romance with gripping storytelling, powerful character development, and a love that defies all odds, this book is a must-read!

I loved every second of this second half to the duet. I loved how Scarlet lived through her traumatic experiences but as a way to make her stronger and not live stuck as a victim. And Hayden, bless him, was there for her and helped her through it, leading gradually to their (sweet in a messed up way) HEA. It certainly was a rollercoaster of a ride.

Kristy has done it again! What a book, I cried, laughed and rejoiced right alongside the characters. This was a HEAVY book, check your trigger warnings before going in! This book truly showed Scarlet’s strength, all she endured and she kept going. The ending had me bawling, it was a much needed ending for these characters 💕
