hmmreads 's review for:

Debt by Nina G. Jones
3.0

Plot:
Tax/Sil has a twin sister, Jude. They all went to the same high school with Mia.

Sil worked on a project with Mia and he started to fall for her. He wrote her a letter and gave it to her, but she lost the letter. Her boyfriend Tripp and his friends found the letter and they faked a reply letter to lure Sil to meet them.

Sil had to bring Jude along with him that day because they were trying to get away from their father. Tripp and his friends confronted Sil about Mia and they beat up Sil. Jude got involved and she was gang raped. She's now infertile because of it.

In the present day, Tax and Jude had been going after every person involved in covering up what Tripp and his friends did. Including Mia and her father. Tripp had already killed her father prior to meeting Mia. Her father was the sheriff and he took cover-up money from Tripp's parents.

Tax was going to kill Mia but they had sex instead. Tax started to fall for her and he found out that Mia wasn't involved. Btw after the assault, Jude developed this unhealthy dependency on Tax. So Jude couldn't accept the fact that Mia's innocent. Jude told Mia that Tax killed Mia's father. Mia got mad at Sil. Jude came in and shot her. Tax then saved her. She survived but she lost their baby.

Tax killed Jude. He went on the run for 1 year and laid low. He tried the disappearing act but that got resolved quickly in the epilogue, they reunited.


There's nothing special really going on. They fucked 80% of the time. The characters were annoying. But the writing was very engaging!

Side note: the audiobook sucks. Sil's narrator's tone is... too immature and mocking-like.
