Thank you to NetGalley, Will Dean and Simon & Schuster Canada for the free e-book in exchange for an honest review.
I didn't even read the synopsis of this novel before I requested it because I'm such a huge Dean fan so I was very surprised upon reading what it was actually about. This one is quite dark, but necessarily so. This is a big issue still around that world that needs to be addressed. Human trafficking is such a scary thing, but I feel like this novel approached it in a way that you could read about without being depressed. It was a very quick read because I wanted to know what happened to our main character! Overall, quite an enjoyable read even with the dark subject matter.
