In this gritty, propulsive thriller, Nate McCluskey learns the leader of Aryan Steel has put a bounty on his head just as he's about to be released from prison. Worse, his ex and their 11-year-old daughter Polly are targets as well. Nate takes Polly on the run with him, while the reader is taken on a deep dive into the skinhead criminal underworld, punctuated by violence and revenge. I fully expect a limited series based on this book at some point.

Devoured in a matter of days, this is a truly perfect novel which tells the story of a blossoming relationship between an 11 year old girl and her convict father - amongst the backdrop of brutality as both have hits out on them by a notorious gang of white supremacists, Aryan Steel.

Jordan Harper writes emotively with conflicting and shifting viewpoints between both father and daughter throughout, creating something beautiful and very hard to put down.

2.5 ⭐️ I actually am surprised I didn’t like this book as much as I thought I would, based on the description it is 100% my kinda book. Maybe it was too short? I couldn’t get invested in the characters, they didn’t seem convincing to me. It was a quick read at only 250ish pages so it was easy to finish but I felt very meh about it the whole time. It has great reviews on good reads so my low rating is in the minority.
