I purchased a copy of Catherine Banks‘ Of Dragons and Cruelty through Etst.
She’s no avenging angel; she’s a Vengeance and she’s out for blood.
Fighting, sex, comradery, food, and drink; these are the things that the warrior women known as Vengeances enjoy.
While locked away for a minor crime, Jenecca’s kin are attacked and slaughtered before she can break free to rescue them.
She’s the last living Vengeance.
The only thing on her mind – in her very being – is revenge upon the man who murdered her sisters, but to enact her plan, she must travel to an entirely different dimension.
Turns out, she’s not so great at landings and finds herself right in the middle of a dragon shifter den.
Now, Jenecca must battle not only against the slayer of her kin, but against her heart and the ticking clock on her revenge.
Throw in the difficulties surrounding her when the men from her past rise up to seek revenge alongside her and seek her heart, and Jenneca might have more than she can handle.
Can she maintain her sanity? Or will it be too late for the last Vengeance?
This honestly just isn’t good. It is neither plot nor character-driven. Nor is it something like erotica that would acceptably be void of plot and character growth. It just plops the reader down in a random world with random characters who are never truly introduced and then sets the main female character off doing random things and collecting random men (who happen to 
basically be the only people she meets).
The reader gets no sense that there are any rules to the world or their magics. It’s inconsistent, and things often don’t make sense. The men are bland cardboard cutouts who fall in love on sight. The heroine feels like author-insert and is the prettiest, strongest, wittiest, etc., that every male wants. And she is, frankly, intolerable. I mean, really spoiled and unlikable. Overall, I only finished it because it was short, and I wanted to count it toward my reading goal.
