This for That (The Edge Of Retaliation Book 1) Kindle Edition
What would you do, for revenge?
Dear Diary,
Oh, who am I kidding?
Dear Life,
You’re cruel. You’re heartless. You’re sick. You’re really damned twisted.
Do you know that?
Nope…
Still doesn’t cut it.
Dear Fate…yeah, that’s the one.
Dear Fate,
What the actual hell?
What exactly did I do to deserve the life you paved for me?
Did I bother you so?
Was I awful?
Did I not pray enough?
You took my life into your hands, fate, and you twisted it.
You turned it into a broken mess, and you made it ugly.
You made meugly.
A life for a life.
An eye for an eye.
That’s how it goes, right?
Her life. Now mine.
Someone is coming for me, but you already know that, don’t you fate?
Did you plan it?
Did you even try to tell them it wasn’t my fault?
That it was an accident?
That I didn’t mean for it to happen?
Or is this part of your sick and twisted plan?
I have one last question, fate, before you go…
Have you got a hero for me?
Because I’m going to need one.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019I love Bella Jewel. The blurb had me intrigued and after a friend read it and told me I HAD to read this book I took the plunge. I am so glad that I did. This book will have you on the edge of your seat.
Callie is 16 when this book starts, she's the typical 16 year old who wants to go out with friends and have a good time. But something goes terribly wrong that night. Now 6 years later she's paid her sentence and is trying to put her life back together. She has the support of her best friend Jo and a friend she made in the last few years Ethan. Then tanner comes along. It would seem like her life is finally going in the right direction and looking up... She wants to clear her name and find out the trich about 6 years ago. But someone has it out for her to never get those answers and to never forget what they think she did.
This is a for sure must read (all of Bella's books are) but this one will have you wanting more, and leave you hanging at the end needing to get your hands on the next book!!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019OMG!! How could it end like that?? I need the next book NOW!!
This For That : The Edge Of Retaliation was an AMAZING story!! I was absolutely hooked right from the beginning. And let me tell you it didn’t let me go until the very end. And even then I’m still hanging on!! This book is going to be on my mind until I get the rest of the story!!
As you can guess this book ends on a cliffhanger and it was BRUTAL!!! If you aren’t a fan of cliffy’s then you will want to wait for the next book to release before starting this story. But take my word for it...you will WANT to read this book.
I haven’t read many books by Bella Jewel but I can definitely say I have loved every book I have read of hers. I need to go back and read the rest!! If you love a great romantic suspense story this is one of the best I have ever read!! It kept me intrigued all the way through. I can’t wait to see how this story ends!!
That’s pretty much all I am going to say about the storyline. This is a story you will want to uncover for yourself. It is NOT a standalone novel. This is book 1 in this new series. It is told solely from Callie’s POV. I truly hope we get some other POVs in the next book. I would love to know what some of the other characters are thinking.
I loved ALL the characters we meet in this story. The secondary characters are just as important as the Hero and heroine. If you love strong female characters then you will want to meet Callie and her best friend Joanne.
I would 100% recommend this book to all Bella Jewel fans and anyone who loves a GREAT romantic suspense book!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019I enjoyed the way Bella Jewel tore my heart out with this brilliantly written story. I won't be sharing any spoilers, except to say that it's a great book that deserves a 5 star rating if not for the shocking cliffhanger ending. I sure didn't see that coming .... at least not the overwhelming scope of deception that happened to Callie because of an innocent mistake. I'm not certain about who, if any of them except Callie and her friend Joanne, deserve to find redemption in the next book. The one thing that is a given is how eager I am to get my hands on it asap.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019Holy Heck, what a story I couldn’t put it down! This book literally drags you in, holds you hostage and doesn’t let go...even at the end because you’re still pondering on what will happen next in book two.
To say that this is brilliantly written is understating things dramatically. I am in awe of the way this author builds up the tempo in the book to such a crescendo that you actually feel like your heart is beating out of your chest cavity.
The story is told from Callie’s point of view and primarily in two timeframes. When Callie was sixteen and her life changed drastically and now, present time, six years later. Both carve out an incredible reel of images showing what Callie’s life was and is like. With extremely clear, vivid descriptions readers can easily visualise each scene as well as experience each emotion she goes through. And believe me you do feel each emotion intimately.
This is a must read story and I can’t wait for the second book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020This book was excellent! As usual, the characters were well written and the story line was believable. There were twists and turns that kept me reading, but the biggest twist was at the end. The revelation about the family has me diving right in to the next book!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019I read a few interesting reviews on this book before I dove in and let me just say it was a very good read! I wasn’t sure what to expect as I haven’t read this author before; however, this will not be my last! Without giving any of the surprises away, I will say I wasn’t surprised with Tanner or Andrea but that sneaky Ethan threw me for a loop. I so did not see that coming. I am so glad I waited til book 2 was out before I started this or the suspense would have killed me! I hope others enjoy this one as I have! Happy Reading!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2019This is only the first book I have read by Bella and I am happy I have found another author that I enjoy.
This book has the twist and unexpected turns that make the read much more interesting. Now I can't wait to read the next chapter in the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning story
This for That: The Edge of Retaliation Book 1 is the newest thrilling story by Bella Jewel. I was highly excited to be reading this release. My heart galloped in anticipation and my mind was open to endless possibility. You just never know where a Bella Jewel story will take you.
This for That took me on a tumultuous ride. Tantalising, mesmirising and breathtaking. The characters swept me away dramatically and emphatically. My mind was blown, my heart was owned, and I was bewitched by the wonder that is their story. Reading this book was a one sitting exercise. I could not put this story down. I recommend taking a ride with this crew. It is one you won't regret. 5 stars.
