In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, it was love at first chapter for me. 🥰 Our main character was such a bad bitch! After a crooked detective saves her from being arrested, “Evie” finds herself entangled in a life of cons, long and short. The writing was exceptional in that every time I had a question, I received an answer in the next flashback I encountered. Powerful men being blackmailed—we love to see it. 😈 I’ve had numerous recommendations to check out this author’s YA books, and I am certainly going to have to move them up on my list.
Graphic: Death of parent, Murder, Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Stalking
