Awesome! I was not expecting to love this as much as I did, but I'm glad to be surprised. Nora feels like a real person, a girl who's been forged by trauma and has learned to use it in order to become a fighter. The secondary characters, Wes and Iris, are more than just cardboard pieces to further the story. The are relevant to Nora and the plot's development. They have complex backstories that are worth exploring in future books. The descriptions of Abby and the grooming of her daughter's were sad, but like with any good con, you can't help but be drawn into the story. Loved it, could not put it down!
