Today’s team review is from Babus, she blogs at http://ajoobacatsblog.wordpress.com
Babus has been reading A Taste Of His Own Medicine by Linda Fawke
A tantalising thriller about the reunion of a group of pharmacology graduates who meet after thirty years, but Kate, a flying student who was once top of the class has revenge in mind for those who wronged her years ago. However, will revenge go to plan and will the secrets from student day emerge once again?
This book became more gripping as I read and ended on quite a cliff-hanger, what I really wasn’t expecting was how dark the characters are and how malevolent parts of this story was to read. I’m really hoping there’s a second book soon as I can’t wait to see how the story ends.
With twists turns and revelations galore there is rarely a dull moment in this page-turner.
Book Description

I haven’t read a book that deals with the complexities of revenge quite like this before, so this one will be a revelation I think…

Sounds good but I do hate cliff hanger endings. For me, cliff hangers belong at the end of chapters, not the whole book 🙂
