Deadly Repercussions by Karen Black is a crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the moment you start reading it. The narrative centers on three Velasquez family members and how death followed them everywhere they went. At the age of 14, Juan Velasquez started working as an informant for an ATF border agent, and he rapidly rose to the rank of agent. He made many friends and far too many enemies because of his exceptional work ethic and natural talent. One such enemy killed his wife and changed the life of his family forever. His valor and tenacity were passed down to his granddaughter, Elaina, who was just as observant as he was. When tragedy struck the family and secrets were revealed, it was Elaina who raced against time to uncover the truth before it was too late.
Karen Black created a captivating story that had me hooked until the end. I loved how the story followed Juan, Elizabeth, Marty, and then Elaina as they all navigated their lives and went through difficult times in their own way. Juan and Elaina were bold; they looked danger in the eye and challenged it. Elizabeth was calculating, while Marty was very sharp. Their personalities shone when they were in danger, and I loved how the author highlighted the best in each of her characters. The plot was intricate, thanks to the multiple POVs and different storylines. The character development coincided with the development of the plot, which was fantastic for me. It was exciting. I absolutely loved how the chapters were short and fast-paced. I was never bored or felt the story dragged. I felt the author did justice to this action-packed story. I got a sense of satisfaction as the story finished! Deadly Repercussions is highly recommended.
