Ash Like Vengeance (The Revere Trilogy, #2)
ByPublisher Description
The history books telling the story of a fell-fated expedition to the West Rim won’t remember the name of the Stranger, a woman who loved her family and worshiped her freedom. But the rest of the Rim will.
Welcome to the Rim, a territory of the Republic of Delilah. The Salt Waste glows like the constant moon, in Hannah the black refinery dust stains the sun red, it only rains during Solace so take care with flash floods, and never leave your enemies alive.
What remains of the Revere family vows vengeance on the once-partner responsible for the loss of their train and the deaths caused by the price he placed on their heads.
Alone and miles from family who still doesn’t know if she’s dead or alive, Adelaide stalks the men responsible for her capture in the mining settlement where she was born. The longer she stays, the stronger her shadow, the Stranger, becomes and the bloodier the legend she will leave behind.
Tesla has found sanctuary with old friends, but not peace. Progress waits for no woman to load her gun. Using the journals written by the woman who unleashed the pestilence years ago, she and Adelaide’s sisters attempt what the original chemist failed to create.
To get Adelaide back, a dangerous alliance must be made and a train heist pulled on the most difficult mark they’ve ever targeted.
It’s time for the men who once bought protection and smuggled goods to remember why the name Revere was the last on so many dying lips, and the rails are not safe not matter what the Green Contract Company tells you.
So let it be dark. Let it be bloody. Let us pray.
For red is the color of revenge.

““Let it be dark. Let it be bloody. Let it be the season of reckoning.”
And oh, it is.
If Smoke and Other Storms was the match, Ash Like Vengeance is the wildfire.
This brutal, brilliant sequel throws us headfirst into the savage world of the Rim, where betrayal is currency, and the Revere women are done playing nice.
Adelaide the Stranger? She’s no longer just a name whispered in fear. She’s the force haunting the blood-soaked alleys of Hannah, a woman shaped by loss and forged in fury.
She’s not hunting justice. She’s hunting vengeance.”
“I’ll tell you what. There is just something about vengeance. It is so sweet but incredibly ruthless. No one is safe. I love it!
“Don’t be sorry. Be better.”
We rejoin the Reveres after a bit of time has passed since the events of Smoke and Other Storms (Book 1). But that doesn’t mean they haven’t been busy. Even though the family is separated, their goals are the same. Take down the men who put them in this position. Family are the only ones who can be trusted. Betrayal, always on the mind.
Adelaide learns more about herself, trust, and what it means to care about people who aren’t her family. She continues to be an absolute brutal badass out for blood. She will not be stopped, and I want a front row seat to the show.
The rest of the Reveres go on their own journeys through the book. Exploring gifts, outsmarting and outwitting opponents, having incredible sass, and just being the best at what they do.
This was such an incredible ride. The grit and brutality got ramped up. These women are out for blood, and nothing will stop them. But through all of that, tenderness shines through. These aren’t just brutal pickers taking what they want. They are a family with feelings, grieving what has been lost. There is a lot of planning and setting up that goes on through most of the book, but meaningful character interactions and development are woven within. It was such a treat to be able to see all sides of these characters, and it made the story feel fuller.
I want to say so much more, but I also don't want to spoil too much. I am so excited (and nervous) to see how this story concludes.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.”
“"A woman will be the last thing you see. Even if it's not me, her name will be Revere."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This book was everything I hoped for and so much more. It picks up right where Smoke & Other Storms left off. What's left of the Revere family are scattered and dealing with their grief and plotting their vengeance. I loved Adelaide's POV but I think I was more drawn to Tesla this go around. I liked being able to see her become the matron of the family and all the pieces she moved around the board to get them all back together. There were several moments that had me choked up, ones that made me audibly gasp, a light splash of spice (which was unexpected but extremely well written), and moments where I was screaming "YES!"
The way Delavega writes has you hanging on until the very end, on the edge of your seat until you see how how everything ties together. She's a masterful storyteller & and has proved it again with the second book in the Revere Trilogy. I can't wait to see how it ends (though I will be sad to say my final goodbyes to the Reveres & the Rim).”
