Awesome! I was not expecting to love this as much as I did, but I'm glad to be surprised. Nora feels like a real person, a girl who's been forged by trauma and has learned to use it in order to become a fighter. The secondary characters, Wes and Iris, are more than just cardboard pieces to further the story. The are relevant to Nora and the plot's development. They have complex backstories that are worth exploring in future books. The descriptions of Abby and the grooming of her daughter's were sad, but like with any good con, you can't help but be drawn into the story. Loved it, could not put it down!

I could barely put this book down. I love the way the author wove together the present story with glimpses of the past. It also had just the right ratio of danger to problem solving, so the situation never felt too hopeless. Overall I thought it was very well done and an enjoyable read.

Finished in one day. I guess that says something! While so much of the story is a little out there, it’s definitely a page turner. The timeline is all over the place, but it’s done so well. 

I’m not sure I’d hand this one to my daughter just yet (mature 13yo). There is so much going on; seek out trigger warnings and HEED them for sure. Child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, just straight up violence, the list goes on. Most of it is closed door, especially the sexual abuse with the victim as young as 10yo, but it’s extremely clear that it is going on. It’s all far-fetched but also real enough that you’d need to follow up with some heavy conversations with your teen.
