Once again I am working with MB Communications, who have provided this book to me gratis in exchange for my honest review.  This novel was released March 10, 2026.

Served Him Right by Lisa Unger

This novel suffers from an identity crisis. Is it a murder mystery? Or fantasy magical genre? Or something right out of the Real Housewives? I didn’t hate this book, but I didn’t love it either and I had trouble following the plot at times.

Vengeance

At the core of the story is vengeance. When an innocent brunch with the girls turns into a whodunit. Ana Blacksmith starts her day with girlfriends, celebrating her recent breakup with boyfriend Paul. But when the police come knocking, Ana, well known for her bad girl traits, finds herself the key suspect in Paul’s unexpected demise.

Secrets and Lies

As the story unfolds we learn that others at the brunch and beyond may have held grudges against Paul. And through out the story weaves a secret network of ancient magical methods used to obtain justice. A family trait of the Blacksmith family puts Ana and her sister Vera in the middle of knowing too much and wanting to know who really killed Paul and why.

Whodunnit

Unger’s latest novel I am sure will be on the best seller list like much of her work. But it’s not my style unfortunately. That said, there are many readers who would not be able to put it down…the plot can be a page turner, for the right reader.
