Revenge By Kerry Kaya

This is not the first book I have read from this author. I am currently working my way through her books and enjoying them all so far.

This is the 2nd book to feature The Tempests family.

Tracey Tempest is learning to get on with her life. Other people may have other ideas. Things will not go smooth as wouldn't make the best story. We need stress, betrayal, lies and secrets. We need the ups and downs of a gangland thriller and that is just what we get.
Plenty of action and enough going on that you want to keep turning those pages.


A superb page turner and one I would recommend.

There is further strife in store for the Tempest family in the second chilling installment of Kerry Kaya’s gangland family saga: Revenge.

After her husband Terry’s brutal murder, Tracey Tempest just wanted to put everything behind her and move on. Although Tracey knows that she will never forget or get over her husband’s betrayal, she will not let his shady past ruin the rest of her life and that of her boys, Ricky and Jamie. Things are looking up for Tracey as she has found herself growing closer and closer to Max Hardcastle who is nothing like Terry, however, she quickly realises that you can never outrun your past – and this time around it will be Max who will be in the frame…

Keeping Tracey safe is Max’s number one priority. Unlike Terry, Max just wants to lead a quite life free from stress, pressure and upheaval. However, little does he realise that his relationship with Tracey has put him in the firing line – as he discovers when his car garage is torched. Does Max know what he has got himself into? Is he going to live to regret his relationship with Tracey? Or will he end up paying the ultimate price for getting involved with Tracey Tempest?

However, Max isn’t as squeaky clean as everyone had thought as Ricky and Jamie discover. Could Max’s secret end up tearing the Tempest family apart forever?

Kerry Kaya’s Revenge is an explosive gangland thriller packed with action, tension, danger and twists and turns aplenty. Revenge is a dark, menacing and chilling read where the pace does not flag, the characters leap off the pages and the shocks and revelations come so thick and fast you will find yourself barely able to catch your breath.

Gritty, terrifying and hard to put down, Kerry Kaya’s Revenge is a terrific gangland saga featuring the Tempest family perfect for Kimberley Chambers fans.

Another amazing read by Kerry. A definite page Turner and well written crime story. Lots of action and grit

Another brilliant installment of this fantastic series, The story follows on so smoothly from the first book and you really feel like you know the characters. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Loved this one, chock full of twists, violence and gangland killings. Although it was part of a series it read as a standalone book. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Fabulous gangland book. Action, action, action from the first page. An excellent follow on from the first book. (Betrayal)
This story is about the Tempest family and a close friend Max.
This book will blow your mind with its twists, turns, and violence.
Kerry Kaya certainly knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat and excited to read her book.
She's a brilliant writer and I have loved all of her books.

Revenge is the latest book from author Kerry Kaya. It’s published via Boldwood.
Revenge is the second eagerly anticipated story in the Tempest series. It also is great as a standalone. It’s full of feisty and confident characters who leap off the page, dragging you into the story. And it’s full of action and drama that keeps you hooked and wanting to read more of the series.

A brilliant read, I have read other books by this author and they are all so good , love the suspense and the true old gangland story of crime , murder and revenge, a fantastic book which I highly recommend as a must read..

Kerry Kaya is an author you can’t go wrong with, Revenge is another great instalment to the collection and quite possibly a favourite.

This is a brilliant read from beginning to end and I have devoured this gem in just one sitting with no regrets.

This is brilliant and Kaya is able to transport the reader with her writing. Tracy is a brilliant character but one not to be messed with.

I love the descriptions and characters in this one. You really get into the nitty gritty with them.

I’ve read many books by this author, this is quite possibly my favourite. I absolutely cannot recommend this more highly. I’m already eagerly anticipating more from Kerry.

Absolutely loved it, I have read a lot of Kerry Kaya books and none of them have dissapointedc. This had a great fast paced story line with plenty of action. Loved it from page to page

Another fabulous read by Kerry Kaya! Catching up with the Tempest family and their many friends and foes is definitely fast paced. A great storyline and plenty left in this saga for future books.

The Tempests are a family I was absolutely captivated by in the first book. Revenge is the follow up and I couldn't help but grin when I knew I had a copy of the book! Kerry Kaya hasn't written a bad book yet and by this books' standards I dare say she never will!

Tracy Tempest has dealt with the fallout from her husbands death. She is after a quiet life, as long as her boys are fine she is happy. Max is still around and everything's ticking over nicely, until its not! Max's car garage is torched and it seems someone's not happy, but who? And why? There are some secrets still that Tracy is yet to find out about and find out she does. What will the outcome be? Will it be war on all fronts, or not?

I love Tracy, if there was ever a strong woman she is exactly that! Kerry Kaya certainly keeps the action and the fire in the Tempest story fanned to the fullest with Revenge. All the familiar characters return from the first book and there are a few new ones added to get to know.

Kerry Kaya's style of writing just sucks me right in straight away. I feel like I'm back with a family I know so well. Her characterisations are excellent and give an authentic feel to them. The grit and down to earth feel is still there too. I now think of Kerry as being on a par with Mandasue Heller or Kimberley Chambers. She writes as well as these other authors with as much realism too.

I read Revenge in one sitting, I just didn't want to stop reading. I needed to know how it would all pan out for them all. I almost inhaled this book, it went so quickly. Before I knew it I was at the epilogue, which was a fabulous one I must say! There was never a dull moment reading this, the action and tension were right there constantly. Yes, another belter from Kerry Kaya and I am now sad, because I have to wait for another book!
Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and Boldwood Books.

They say behind every good man is a strong woman but you would have to be not only good but just as strong if not stronger when standing in front of Tracy tempest. She is a lady gangster from the old school with her leopard print and take no prisoners attitude and since the death of her husband Terry has had nothing but problems and it seems those problems or not over. After her beloved Terry was murdered on his birthday in her backyard his good friend Max Hardcastle helped her find the culprit and send them to prison he even did with most gangsters never do and testified against the defendants but when Max gets a call threatening him he pulls it off the rails until he watches his car lot go up in flames and because not all of the cars were insured this means he will take a bigger loss before being able to start a new business but first things first he must find out who was so dead set on revenge against him. At first glance he thought it was his business rival dickie Dixon but Max Ricky and Jamie will learn that the threat it’s much more personal and even closer to home. Terry Tempest was never a faithful husband and he’s left proof of that and that proof has come home to roost. I love this dang why ancillaries by Carrie Kya and couldn’t wait for the second book in the series to come out and trust me when I say I was not disappointed I love these books and if you love family dramas and mafia type scenarios then you will definitely love revenge the second book in the tempest series I love these books and as always I cannot wait for the next one. She writes such great drama filled books and although she tells a story of the story goes along there is enough held back to keep keep turning the pages what a great second book in the great Siri‘s. I received this book from NetGalley and boldWoodBooks but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

‘The Betrayal’ which kicks off the Tempests gangland series was the first book of Kerry Kaya that I read. This continues from the previous book and is best read serially.

In the previous book, Tracey Tempest’s husband Terry was murdered. Tracey is shocked & shamed as she learns of the the kind of business Terry & his partner Kenny Kempton were involved in. There is also the talk of the extra-marital affairs which Terry had, and Tracey realizes that she has been a very gullible wife. Tracey now grows close to Max Hardcastle, who has had a hard past life. Her sons Ricky & Jamie now work with Max and are initially wary of their mother’s developing relationship. Max’s main business is a car showroom and there is an arson attack which guts it completely in a fire. There are some people out to destroy Max and is unclear if it has anything to do with the Tempests, including Terry’s murder. Tracey wants to steer her family away from illegal activities and violence but the activities of the past carry consequences. There are also tensions with her mother-in-law that she must contend with.

Like the previous book, this is a page turner. I like the Kerry Kaya’s writing style – honest & straightforward storytelling without pretentious twists. As a result, there was not much to surprise me, and yet, I was hooked from start to finish as the pace is excellent & tension sustains right through. The epilogue was well written, in many ways bringing the closure which most readers would hope for. The inner voices of the characters are uncovered only fleetingly and that could have been better.

A good relaxing read. Thanks to Netgalley, Boldwood Books & the author for a free electronic review copy.

My rating: 4.25 / 5.

Another instalment in the Tempest family’s lives. Blood is not always thicker than water as they are all about to find out. A great read and I look forward to more in the series

Revenge is the second book in the Tempest Family series by Kerry Kaya. Having read and loved the first book ‘Betrayal’ I was really looking forward to settling down with my kindle to read this second book. The title of the book is perfect as it’s all about Revenge. To say I enjoyed this follow up book is an understatement as it wasn’t just good, it was absolutely brilliant. We meet back with characters we were introduced to in book one and also some new characters are brought in. The author writes the characters so well , you can almost sense their presence as you read this book. This book had me hooked from the first chapter, it’s a fast paced and tension filled read. Betrayal is another fantastic read and although I loved the first book in the series this one was in my opinion even better. It can be read as a standalone but I would strongly suggest reading the first book to get a better understanding of the different characters. Without any hesitation this was a 5⭐️ read for me.

📚📖 BOOK REVIEW 📖📚

📖 Book - Revenge
✍️ Author - Kerry Kaya
📕 Publisher - Boldwood Books
🗓 Publication Date - 24th May 2023


After the brutal gangland murder of her husband Terry, Tracey Tempest just wants to move on. She’ll never get over Terry’s betrayal, but she’s determined his shady past won’t spoil life for her and her beloved boys Ricky and Jamie.

Max Hardcastle just wants a quiet life and to maybe see how things go between him and Tracey. He knows she’s been hurt in the past, but he’s nothing like Terry and he’ll do anything to keep Tracey happy and safe.

But some people have other ideas.

This is book 2 in the Tempest Series. I can feel myself warming to Tracey in this book. It’s good to see her and Max making a go of things. They just need to let the boys know ….. 🤔 there are a couple of bits in the book with Tracey and her mother-in-law, their arguments had me in stitches 😂 . I can’t wait to see what happens next! No pressure Kerry 😉 xx

Biggest Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood Books the publisher for my copy. I loved it!

Wow Kerry has done it again. Another book that is unputdownable. After the death of her husband and his partner being locked up in Belmarsh Tracy thinks her life will settle down. When Max’s car lot gets burnt down little did they realise what trouble lay ahead. Revenge is the perfect title for this book as everyone is out for it. Make sure you’ve got some spare time when you pick up this book as I can guarantee you’ll not be able to put it down.

One of my favourite authors, I was so happy to read this as I had just finished the 1st book in the series The Betrayal.

I don’t want to give any spoilers and I would suggest you read the 1st book first.

If your into gangland and authors like casey Kellher, Kimberly chambers and Martina Cole this book is for you

Can’t wait to see what’s next
