More about REVENGE:
The desire for revenge can never be sated . . .
When her beloved high school teacher appears on her doorstep, Deputy Chief Jess Harris is flooded with fond memories-until the woman says she’s about to be charged with murder. Called to the scene of the crime, Jess learns the victim of the bizarre and brutal slaying was a member of Birmingham’s famed “Five.”
Twelve years ago, the Five were rich, popular high school seniors who threw one wild last party. Two social outcasts were invited to play in the “loser games.” The next morning, one player killed himself. Now Jess fears that an invitation to an upcoming class reunion may have forced the Five to play a new deadly game.
As Jess fights to keep her former teacher from suspicion-and her relationship with Chief Dan Burnett separate from her work life-she knows she is caught in a vicious cycle of vengeance. And the killer is far from finished…

Riveting Romantic Suspense is synonymous with Debra Webb’s Faces of Evil series. Revenge is no exception.
The main characters are Dan Burnett, Chief of the Birmingham Police Department, and Jess Harris, the Department’s Deputy Chief of the Special Problems Unit. Dan and Jess were lovers twenty years ago. Jess, a former FBI profiler, returned home to Birmingham following a botched case involving serial killer, Eric Spears, who still is obsessed with her. Dan now is her boss and her lover.
Jess is a kick-ass heroine whose continual determination to do things her own way, even if they are outside of police protocol, drives Dan crazy.
Since her return to Birmingham about one month ago, Jess has dealt with murderers, a serial killer, drug lords, and threats to her life. Nothing, however, prepares Jess for the revelation by Frances Wallace, her favorite high school teacher, now 75, that she may be charged with the murder of Scott Baker. Mr. Baker’s past leads Jess’s team’s investigation in a different direction.
Twelve years ago, Scott Baker was one of the Five, offspring of Birmingham’s wealthiest and most influential families. The Five ruled high school through cruelty and bullying. Matters became totally out of control when one of the school “geeks,” Lenny Porter, committed suicide at a pre-graduation party. The Five agreed to keep secret the occurrences of that night.
Amidst the frantic investigation, Jess also must cope with the taunting texts and gifts from Spears. Known as “The Player” to the FBI, Spears makes it clear that he is ready to play the game with Jess.
There is sufficient deceit, betrayal, unknown killers, and twists to keep the reader captivated.
In Revenge, Jess’s character evolves more than in any other book. She finally begins to face the demons that have haunted her since childhood. She recognizes that she fears letting people get close to her because there is a risk that she may lose them. Jess questions her personal decisions, embraces the idea of having friends and, most importantly, admits her feelings for Dan. Jess and Dan continue to progress cautiously in their relationship.
Revenge is the fifth book in this series. While it is a stand-alone read, the reader may prefer reading the predecessors, Obsession, Impulse, Power, and Rage. I guarantee that if you read Revenge first, you will go back and read the earlier books.
There is a reason Revenge received 4 ½ stars from RT Magazine. It is that good.
