[REVIEW] Wild Justice – Kelley Armstrong

The third and final Nadia Stafford novel starts strongly with a fabulous premise. The preceding books in the trilogy don’t really work for me, so Wild Justice‘s revelatory beginning seems like a major upswing.

Until a romance stuffs it all up.

Okay, it’s not the romance itself that’s problematic, but rather the way it’s handled.

They decide to keep it secret.

It’s not like either party is seeing anyone else, but they don’t want the ex to find out, in case he chucks a tantrum and won’t help out at work.

And that’s when my four-star expectations slipped to three. Disappointing.

Protect the innocent. If there is any one principle that drives hit-woman Nadia Stafford it’s this. When she was 13 she failed to protect her older cousin Amy from being raped and murdered. Now, she fails again, disastrously, when she botches a hit on a man who’s been beating his wife. Before she’s had a chance to fix things, the wife is murdered and Nadia plunges into despair. To help her find equilibrium again, her mentor, Jack, brings her a gift: the location and new identity of the serial predator that killed her cousin. Vengeance, justice? With the predator in her sights, nothing seems more right, more straightforward, more simple. But fierce as Nadia is, she is shaken to the core by what she discovers about the real events of her past. The wounds inscribed on her soul during the long night when her cousin was killed have shaped her, and justice is wild indeed.

The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life – that’s who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers…and she’s just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker – a guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can’t get him out of her mind. Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks – no matter how angelic she might look. But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they’ll go to save each other.

Since a devastating, morphing plague swept through human and zombie populations, almost everyone who survived is an “ex” these days. Ex-human. Ex-zombie. Both creatures crave flesh, have the strength and speed of predators – and are seemingly immortal. Pierced skin and broken bones mend, but their all-consuming hunger never dies… Amy is the only purely human survivor from her town: a frail. For a girl used to going it alone, trusting anyone isn’t easy, but Amy will have to. She has secrets from her past she can’t afford to face by herself, and secrets in her future that will cost her just about everything – including her humanity…
