Listen rather than read

Too many characters, hard to follow and dragged out. Was a better listen than a read.

A series please

This was amazing. Narration and story were outstanding and reminded me of the Hollows. Please please make this a series. Lisa is an excellent author and storyteller.

Hard to follow

The different narrators helped but the story seemed too long and hard to follow.

Another great book by Lisa Unger

I loved the way she wrote this with different POV's. The story kept me listening to find out what happened next. I loved her characters and could see them clearly in my mind. You will have to listen to find out what happened! Happy listening!💜📚

​🥂 Revenge is a Dish Best Served at Brunch

​If you think your last breakup was messy, Ana Blacksmith is here to say, "Hold my mimosa."
​In Lisa Unger’s latest, Served Him Right, we open on a celebratory breakup brunch that goes south faster than a cheap tequila shot. Ana’s ex, Paul, is the subject of some "unfortunate" news, and suddenly Ana—with her "difficult" reputation—is Public Enemy No. 1. Toss in a best friend falling deathly ill and a shadowy network of women using ancient methods to balance the scales of justice, and you’ve got a psychological thriller that’s as sharp as a ritual dagger.
​Why You Need This on Your Nightstand:
​The "Witch" Evolution: This isn't about pointy hats; it’s about the modern-day stake-burning. Unger brilliantly parallels how women were treated in the past with the gaslighting and legal red tape of 2026.
​The Coven Energy: The sisterhood in this book is the true definition of a coven. It’s a protective shield against dangerous men and a world that constantly tries to shrink women.
​Fierce Motherhood: I loved the focus on raising daughters who are "take-no-prisoners" strong in both mind and body.
​The Moral Gray Area: This book looks you in the eye and asks: What is truly right or wrong? Does a certain kind of monster justify a certain kind of murder? It’s a delicious dilemma that kept me flipping pages.
​The Verdict:
​The character development is complex, the pacing is tight, and the themes are incredibly timely. It’s a beautiful, gritty reminder that while vengeance is sweet, the bond between women is the real power.
​Bottom line: If you’re tired of being told to "calm down" or "let it go," this book is your new best friend. Read it, then call your girls. Just maybe... watch what you put in the brunch cocktails. 🤫
