The author seamlessly balances a compelling and enthralling plot around a protagonist possessing superhuman capabilities. I immediately found myself deeply invested in Claire's journey and the unpredictable twists and turns she encountered. The supporting cast -- Ben, Phillip, and Marianne in particular -- is excellent. Each secondary character adds depth and nuance to the storyline. Even the antagonists are chillingly realistic as the much-needed catalysts that help Claire develop even further. Eleanor Paterson's ability to weave action, crime, drama, and suspense into the storyline creates a thought-provoking and entertaining novel. Each chapter is filled with high-stakes situations, making it easy to become engaged from the beginning. The razor-sharp pacing and storytelling accentuate Paterson's impressive writing skills. Whether you are a fan of literary fiction or simply searching for a novel that will hold your attention from start to finish, Vengeance Awakened is a recommended must-read. I cannot wait to see where Claire's journey takes us next!

Eleanor Paterson infuses this story with suspense and intrigue from the beginning to the end. The narrative arc is executed very well, from when the woman recovers her memory to the entry of new characters and scenes. The choice of the main character is compelling and challenging, given her age and extraordinary achievements before and during her revenge mission. The pacing is steady, marked by a balance of suspense, intrigue, anticipation, and light humor sprinkled throughout. Paterson keeps the action alive through the main character's relentless pursuit of revenge, while the unabated pursuit from the authorities further builds a high sense of anticipation. Themes of corruption, workplace prejudice, revenge, and starting life afresh are also explored. I highly recommend Vengeance Awakened to readers who love stories filled with suspense and intrigue.

Eleanor Paterson’s Vengeance Awakened was a real treat for me because the story revolved around four themes I love: law, technology, England, and travel. It was also a blend of my favorite genres—crime fiction and psychological thrillers. And I instantly bonded with Claire. I loved shadowing Claire on her mission around England and in Egypt. I am not a scuba diver, but Claire’s discovery of Dugong made me envy her. Most of all, I liked the thought-provoking themes of Claire’s quest for justice using technology and her paranormal abilities, unauthorized medical experiments on humans, and corruption. I highly recommend this awesome story to action and psychological thriller fans. This is a 'wow' read!

Vengeance Awakened: From Amnesia to Justice by Eleanor Paterson was intricate and unique. I was captivated right from the beginning and could not turn the pages fast enough. The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat, making it impossible to put the book down. The writing style was captivating, and I was easily pulled into Claire’s world. The characters felt genuine and relatable. Claire was my favorite; she was determined to uncover the reasons behind her assault and what had led her to end up in the hospital in such a state. Ben initially trailed Claire to see if she could help him regain his wife but discovered much more than he expected. The story was exceptionally written and held my interest throughout.
