Girl Zero spent her childhood as an object of abuse for her father’s online “Pinocchios” until she escaped. Now a young woman she hunts the dark web to find these men searching for her little sister Hope who was sold through the network.
This has a very brutal subject matter and is a little too close to the reality of the dark side of the internet. Zero’s quest for revenge is very satisfying and she is lethal and singleminded in her pursuit of these criminals. As she brings about their demise in a multitude of original ways she feels only rage and a compulsion to find the truth, the kills are not gratuitous but a necessary clearing of the rubbish.
Check triggers on this as online trafficking is a large part of this story and it is, in parts, an uncomfortable read!
