The Girl in Cell 49B by Dorian Box

5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure I would be able to follow along since it is the second in the series, but it was easy to pick up on the story. Emily is a very strong young girl to have survived the killing of her mother and sister. She suffers from PTSD and a guilt for not staying and trying to help them. She befriends an ex-gang member Lucas Jackson. He helps protect her until everything falls apart on her 16th birthday and she finds herself in juvenile prison for murder. Emily is not afraid to do the things she finds necessary to protect herself after all she has been through. She learns everything she can to again protect herself, only this time she will use brain power to overcome. She also of course has trust issues. But, slowly she is able to open up and let walls down to let people in. I was hooked once I started this book. I hope to see more about Emily in the future. Thank you Netgally for an advanced copy for my honest opinion.
