I was engrossed in the book from the very beginning. I found myself thinking about it at work and couldn’t wait for my lunch breaks so I could read a few more chapters. I saw somewhere that this was a mashup of Kill Bill and the #metoo movement and I couldn’t agree more. Before I say anymore, please make sure that you are in the best headspace for this book. This is full of things that might be triggering for people. The author has included a full list of trigger warnings at her website, https://www.hannahcapin.com/foulisfair.

This follows the aftermath after Elle who now goes by Jade was sexually assaulted at a party. She wants revenge in the worst way and her friends vow to help her get it. This was a very bloody and violent tale. Full of terrible people and manipulation so strong that it’ll shock you. Full of writing that was both lyrical and chilling.

I couldn’t help but root for Jade. Her character was morally gray but, but you can’t picture her any other way. I became obsessed with her and reading about how far she would go to get her revenge. As much as I was obsessed with Jade, the friendship here was my favorite thing about this book.

“My beautiful deadly girls with their loyalty so strong nothing could break it.”

They called themselves a coven and I can’t help but agree that it sounds pretty accurate. Their loyalty to each other was so astonishing. I need some friends like this. They are the people you picture when you need help to hide a body. Their endless and open love for each other was beautiful. Between these girls, we get a diverse group of people. Good POC and trans rep. I seriously want to be accepted into this group of friends.

While I loved this story and what it represents, I have to admit that this has a lot of things that would never happen or don’t make sense. A lof things just fell into place so quickly or too perfectly at times. There were also a couple of times that I felt like I skipped a page or had to reread something.

Despite my issues of it being believable 100% of the time, I loved it. If you want something gritty and full of revenge then pick this up. Seriously, put on some music that makes you feel like a bad b**** and head to your bookstore when this release.
