There are some books that are disquieting to read… yet powerful. Courtney Summers excels at such books.

Plot in a nutshell: Georgia sees her beauty as her only way to escape poverty, but becomes embroiled in a murder mystery while falling in love with the victim’s older sister. Corruption and power, lust and innocence, all these are explored as Georgia uncovers the truth of the girl’s killer and who covered it up.

Please be aware this book contains scenes of attempted assault and sexual content involving a minor (fade-to-black-ish?).
