Sloane appeared to be living the perfect life. But then tragedy came in the worst way possible. Sloane lost everything, and somehow still found the will to survive. Or dare I say thrive? When law enforcement fails her, Sloane decides to take things into her own hands. With everything that's happened to her, she feels like she's turning into some kind of monster. With these feelings, she's using them to protect everyone else so they don't have to feel her pain.
The transformation of Sloane from the first pages to the end of the book was remarkable. She was such a strong and brave character that I felt inspired by, obviously not to the extent she went to though! I really felt bad for her from the beginning, learning about her relationship with her mother, and then everything that happened after. This story flows so well, it's like watching a movie while you're reading. It's also one of those books that I feel like it's hard to give a spoiler-free review of, but you have to read it. You won't regret it!
When an author writes something they typically don't, it can certainly be a good thing! Check content warnings if you feel you need to and darker books aren't your norm.
FAVE QUOTE: “His love was what reminded me that I wasn't broken. I just needed love to help me put the pieces back together.”
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF: You love a good vigilante story and character growth!
