Review: They All Had a Reckoning - Michele Leathers

Review: They All Had a Reckoning - Book #7 They All Had a Reason Series - Michele Leathers - November 2023

This is one series that I have been reading and was very excited to read Book #7 as it looked like Bellamy's past was closing in on her in this book she and Victoria head to Mexico where Cory and his sister Tasha have been living. Cory is the one with the true-crime podcast and with whom Bellamy has some romantic feelings despite how cold and heartless she acts. In this book, we learn that Cory has invited some people from Bellamy's hometown to visit including Gemma, Charlotte, Wade, and Bridger. I was all excited to see how Bridger would react with the reunion being it's his sister but he ends up pulling out of the trip. Charlotte was the one initially that Bellamy had tried to set up for her fake murder but of course, it backfired. In this book, we see the characters ending up drugged and on a boat and the book is an Escape room style read where everyone's deepest fears are about to be tested as we all know that Bellamy loves a good game that messes and tortures people - it's her specialty. However, what happens when it looks like it's not Bellamy calling the shots? Who is running the game? Is it someone from Bellamy's past whom she double-crossed in one of the previous books? Will Book #7 be the last we hear of Bellamy or will she once again manage to outwit everyone and come out on top? Upon finishing this book, I was in two minds as it does set itself up for another book to be released but also the way it had initially seemed when starting it was that this might have been our big finale with Bellamy's past and present colliding which did happen but not as big of a deal as I had hoped it would be. I do know however, that if Michele does release another, I definitely will be reading it as you know once you get invested in a series you like to see it all the way through to the end otherwise you feel like you have wasted a chunk of your reading life and feel incomplete.
