The Dark Side of Penny (Penn Friends, #4)

"People told me that what I could do was a gift–my special secret–but you know what? It was a curse."

Welcome to the world of Penny Black! She is no ordinary girl.

You are about to enter a world like no other, from a seasoned novelist writing a new series under a new pen name.

In this fourth book, we carry on the adventure of Penny and her incredible powers. Each book asks its own question. This one is:

Is revenge all it's cracked up to be?

Having finally got what she saw as payback on Abbey, her one-time best friend now an international athlete, she finally gets to turn her attention to Jack. Can she make him pay for what he has done? And even if she does, will it be enough?

Love for the series so far:

Interesting read from the very start as the author takes you down the path of Penny’s inner thoughts. Lays bare the human nature very well and in an unusual read. Not my normal genre but found it to be a great read.

TH Paul through the voice of Penny herself and the narrator take us deep into the mind of an adolescent girl awakening to a power that is a true double-edged sword--a gift and a curse. The author paints clear pictures of her, her life, and those around her. At one moment we emphasize with her and the next we are appalled at her behavior.

The story arc covers a number of years. It is complete and gives closure, but still, leaves you wanting to know more about Penny Black.

I found this very entertaining and starting reading the second volume in the series as soon as it was available.

The book is quite different from previous ones by the same author (under the real name). In some respects, it is like reading a different author except for the ability to paint a vivid picture with the written words.

This is a great novella. Once I started I had to keep on going until the end. I adore Penny Black. She is so completely flawed that she becomes extremely endearing, despite having a dark side. Loved the way that Nothing goes as planned too.

This is the third volume in the series that I have read, and I adore them all. They're quick to read, very well written and constructed. I love the whole take on Penny, being something of an anti-heroine, completely flawed but somehow becoming very endearing at the same time.
