Quick Summary (No Spoilers)
What does it take to make someone’s life disappear?
Jackie Kabler’s latest is an absolutely disturbing tale of manipulation, deceit, and calculated revenge. At the heart of it are three narrators. Unlikeable. Unreliable. And deeply unsettling. Their voices had me second-guessing everything I thought I knew.
The book doesn’t just twist, it spirals. Each revelation had me checking back to see what I missed, and the emotional payoff was chilling. You won’t find comfort in these characters, but you will find yourself hooked.
This isn’t a story that plays fair, and that’s exactly why it works. A dark, psychological puzzle that lingers long after the final page.
First Impressions
I was immediately drawn in by the sinister premise. From page one, there’s a tension you can feel beneath the surface. The pacing is tight and the setup disorients you in just the right way.
Narrative & Characters
This book features three narrators, all unreliable in their own unsettling ways. I found them unlikeable, which made me question everything they said. But that’s exactly the point. Kabler uses these voices to brilliant effect, keeping you off-balance and suspicious of everyone.
Themes & Tone
It’s deeply disturbing, especially in how it explores psychological manipulation and control. You’re constantly asking yourself: What does it really take to make someone disappear? The book delivers a sharp commentary on revenge, deception, and blurred morality.
Twists, Pacing & Payoff
The twists are relentless and genuinely had me second-guessing myself every few chapters. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, the story pivots again. The payoff is solid. Dark, but satisfying.
Writing Style
Kabler writes with clarity and tension. The structure is clean but disorienting in just the right ways. No wasted scenes or filler. Every chapter pulls its weight. It’s a quick but intense read.
Perfect For Fans Of:
- B.A. Paris (Behind Closed Doors)
- Alice Feeney (His & Hers)
- Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl)
Final Thoughts
The Revenge Plot is unsettling in all the best ways. The characters won’t win your heart, but the story will grip your mind. If you enjoy thrillers that manipulate the reader as much as the characters, this one is a must.
