Book Review: So Shall Ye Reap: Book #2 of the Revenge Series by Terry Tyler


Available from Amazon UK and Amazon US

Call it karma, call it poetic justice - two novellas that explore the cunning way life can exact its own revenge, in a way that no amount of foresight can ever fully predict.

Like the first in Terry Tyler’s 'Revenge' Series, the second book, So Shall Ye Reap leans into the  unsettling satisfaction that revenge can bring when the law proves inadequate. True to its title, the story is deliberate, patient, and chilling, an exploration of why ordinary people might come to justify extraordinary acts.

I particularly like Terry Tyler’s skill at adding authentic layers to relationships as the plots develop.  The characters are shaped by trauma, frustration, and a simmering sense of injustice. 

Moments of inevitable violence are not overplayed; instead, they arrive with a cold inevitability that lingers long after the page is turned. The pacing reflects this approach, building tension to accumulate steadily.

The two stories of So Shall Ye Reap are intelligent and unsettling, standing out in a crowded genre. For those who appreciate dark psychological depth, moral complexity, and a narrative that trusts the reader to engage critically, Terry Tyler delivers stories that are thought-provoking and disturbing.
