          *Thank you to author Jenna Voris and publisher Penguin Teen for an advanced copy of this book that this review is based on.**

One of the first things I noticed about this debut novel from Jenna Voris is the stand-out character graphics of the cover.  The cover is a great visual match for this high intensity YA novel that focuses on the 3 main characters featured on the cover.  The criminal couple, Shane & Ava, have great chemistry and are fun to read about.  However, I really enjoyed Cyrus's POV chapters throughout the book.  Cyrus is the valedictorian of his flight academy and his first assignment involves catching the criminal duo, Shane and Ava.  I appreciated the depth that Voris added to the story with Cyrus's character.  Cyrus finds himself questioning why Shane and Ava are committing their crimes, and it leads to Cyrus examining not only his motivations, but also those of his commanding general. 

Overall enjoyed this one and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys YA and fantasy.
