Book Review By Melody Ravert
Avenging Sword by Melody Ravert

Book two in a trilogy which takes place in West Chicago where hatred and bigotry still exist in the present day. Here on the streets, semi-automatics now replace the chains and switchblades that terrorized the civilians in days past.

Two predominant rival gangs demonstrate how their actions not only devour and destroy each other, but everyone who comes into their path.
