What do you do when the people who’ve vowed to serve and protect you are the ones causing trouble? Sadly, the teens we follow through the course of this novel are forced to find out.
Thanks to NetGalley for granting me access to this prior to publication.
It’s an explosive read, with a growing sense of injustice and anger that builds to an unforgettable climax. I’d like to say we were truly in the realms of something that could never happen, but know that’s not the case.
We follow Taran and her twin through a momentous evening. It begins with the death of a local man at the hands of the police. Asking someone to document what happened and not intervene suggests he knew what was coming - and as we work out the extent to which the corruption has spread the sense of injustice was palpable.
