This was my first time reading anything by Jeremy Ray, and I would definitely read more books from this author! I enjoyed this and thought it was a lot of fun. I loved the idea of the statue women and how bonded to them Harley seemed from the beginning. I thought the story was well-written, though I predicted the ending only a couple of pages into the story, which took away from the suspense. I also found this to be one of those stories where I spent a solid chunk of time silently yelling at the protagonist to stop making terrible choices, but at the same time, I understood why she kept finding herself in those situations and I felt for her.
