I got a proof from hot key books of this book. Thank you so much! I so enjoyed it! Fast passe, exciting, unexpected and sometimes brutal.

This is a book that has a fifteen year old main character, but at least in my opinion, this is something between a young adult and "adult" novel, if not all adult.
The story is about Rylee a teen on the run with her brother after finding their father dead. Rylee is young but feels rootless, all her life having to move from one place to another. She doesn't really have any friends and she doesn't trust anyone. She has her mind set to find her mother, figure out what has happened and make someone play for it.
I really like Rylee, she feels like a very well rounded character to me. She is strong, smart and brave at the same time she doubts herself being only fifteen and alone. She's someone I liked to follow and see how she gets herself out of one situations to the other and how she solves the problems she's faced with.

I don't want to give away anything more about the story, because I felt it was better to just start it and see where it takes you. I had no idea what was going to come next and I enjoyed being keep on my toes throughout this novel.
If you like a thrillers with a well thought out plot, fast passe that will keep you interested from pages one - pick up this book!

I will definitely pick up the next part in the Vengeance series.

I already loved the works of Olsens that I've previously read and the same went for this book. It was thrilling and interesting and kept me hooked the entire time.
