The Deal by S C Cunningham
4.0
Firstly thank you to S C Cunningham and to Rachel at Rachel's Random Resources for allowing me to take part in this blog tour.
I will warn you there are some serious trigger warnings that come with this book, child abuse, domestic abuse, and a lot of abuse in general.
We start off in a police interrogation room, in all honesty, I'm genuinely not quite sure why. But it doesn't take long to get to our heroine of this story, Amy Fox. At the moment she's alive, but it doesn't take long for her to die and join 'The Unit' where she gets to keep her deal that she forgot about, and gets to deactivate the bad guys.
Here she meets Jack, who has his own secrets he's keeping close to his chest. As soon as we get to 'The Unit' you know there is chemistry between Amy and Jack, I was definitely rooting for them. That is, until you learn Jack's secret. I didn't like him much after that, but soon changed my mind again.
It doesn't take long for hell to break loose and a 'Witness' to try and stop and take down 'The Unit' which is when we start to learn secrets and truths. At this point I was guessing and second guessing what I thought, but turned out I was wrong. After a few good deeds, a white feather is found but the people Amy and Jack helped, but there is no mention anywhere in the book that they actually have wings, so this did confuse me a bit.
With so many twists and turns I did enjoy this book, but did feel that the abuse details were a bit too graphic and weren't needed. This being said, I can't wait to see what the next installment brings, as this definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm giving this a 4/5 and I definitely recommend it. But do be careful of the triggers.
