Retribution (Lexi Winter Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 248 ratings

Once a vigilante, now a cop ... but Lexi Winter still plays by her own rules. A fast-paced, suspenseful thriller for readers of Candice Fox and Sarah Bailey.


Ace hacker, ex-prostitute, Jack Daniels drinker and part-time vigilante Lexi Winter is now working with the police, with a new enemy in her sights and an old foe on her mind.

Most probationary constables would baulk at chasing a drug dealer into a train tunnel in the dead of night - not Lexi. But when she emerges, injured but alive, to face the wrath of her boss it's clear that while Lexi may now be in uniform, she has as much trouble with authority as ever. Just to prove it, Lexi is quietly using her hacking skills to investigate a notorious drug-dealing Sydney crime family with links to her old prey, the paedophile Damon Vaughn. As her colleague Detective Sergeant Finn Carson investigates a death on a Sydney building site that leads him to the picturesque Wondabyne train station on the Hawkesbury River, Inspector Rachael Langley oversees an enquiry that is becoming ever more complex as multiple lines of investigation seem to interweave. What they don't know is that Lexi is the only one who can unravel them - if only she'll toe the line.

'Phenomenal. Lexi Winter is the gritty hero I didn't know I needed ... I'm now desperate for more' - bestselling Australian author Nicola Moriarty on Unforgiven

I have been eagerly awaiting this book and WOW, WOW, WOW truly Lexie just keep getting better, Sarah Barrie you have written a brilliant story that had me up very late last night, come a long a see how Lexie does her best to take down the enemy and is she getting closer to catching the paedophile Damon Vaughn.

After everything that happened last time Lexie is now a probationary constable working out of Wyong police station, her partner Rico is the best partner for her, Lexie is still finding it hard to overcome all the rules that are in place. When they go after a couple of drug dealers this leads to a much bigger case that the police force is investigating, that of a big drug dealing crime family, who also have links to someone that Lexie is determined to bring to justice her way.

Detective Sergeant Finn Carson is working on a murder case at a construction company this leads to links to the crime family which Inspector Racheal Langley and the drug and firearm squad are tracking, with more bodies turning up and links joining, Lexie is using her skills to do what she does and uncover more information when the lead boss Craig finds out what Lexie is doing they get her working with them, this does not sit well with all of the team members but Lexie is her true self and does what she does and so well.

This story is action packed, fast paced and filled with danger with bodies turning up everywhere, Lexie is devastated at what has happened and more than ever determined to get answers. Lexie is working hard and getting herself in trouble in so many ways, I love Lexie no matter what is going on, no matter what danger is there she is still so smart and witty and just her, she clashes with so many of the team for what she feels is right.

Sarah Barrie has created a character who is the best, she is strong, determined, sassy, smart, and witty and knows what she is doing, no matter how tough things are Lexie made me laugh and smile as well as worry. With all of the awesome characters back this time Rachael, Finn and the friendships they have it was awesome to catch up with them. This is a book that I highly recommend I loved Unforgiven and this one continues in such a fabulous way, I am really looking forward to seeing more of Lexie as she works to get her enemy in her own special way.

This was my first time reading this author and this character. I think enough was covered about her briefly to understand where she was coming from.
I enjoyed the locations around Sydney, coming from Melbourne I had a vague idea and understood the lingo.
Lexi is real and raw, facing and tackling issues without really thinking of the outcome. She seemed likely to get her killed but had such a quick wit to save herself time and time again.
The story took me a while to get into but by the half way mark like a roller coaster it took off. Constant action, murder and danger kept me riveted. I had no clue and I loved that I was surprised.

Wow, what a great story. Sarah Barrie has done a wonderful job in creating a memorable character in Lexi Winter. It’s not just the characters that make this a good story, it’s the interesting and surprising plot that really grabbed my attention. My favourite thing is to pick up a book and still be sitting there hours later, until life gets in the way. Lexi is an absolute legend. She just never gives up, and has the smarts to back it up. With a complicated background Lexi has done well to make it into the police force, however she really wants to do things her way, which might not always be the safest way. With plenty of things happening in the story, it easily held my attention and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 5/5 Star Rating.

Love this series. Great story line. Wonderful characters. Keeps you turning the pages. I do wonder at times how the main protagonist, Lexi, is still able to walk. The author certainly puts her through the grinder. Love it all though.

I really enjoyed the book but was very disappointed in the ending. Nothing 2orse than a book being left with it not being finished and no chapters from the next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Over-the-top, but very impressive
Reviewed in Australia on January 21, 2023
A great follow-up to the prequel with our very engaging and different protagonist. The plot is quite intricate and carries plenty of twists and turns. On the flip side, there is quite a bit which is over the top: for example, the body count is numbingly high, our lead has more than nine lives and coincidences play quite a major role. Still, I can't wait for the sequel as there are at least two significant carry-over issues which need to play out. 4.5 stars.
