First of all, I didn’t read the first book in this series so I’m not making any comments on that. Second, I’m still not 100% sure if this is YA or adult fiction. I can see the pros and cons of both. As far as the book, I was entertained but there were many many problems with it.
The story centers on Emily Calby a teenager girl whose family was murdered and she is living life on the run, hiding from I don’t really know who. I’m guessing that’s all in the first book. This book centers on her being caught and charged with a murder that she committed, again I’m guessing in the first book. She’s sent to a juvenile prison while awaiting trial. That’s all fine and good. The book includes too many cliched moments. The guards are raping some of the girls, the guards have created a fight club where they bet to see which girl will win, the prosecutor has a personal vendetta that no one but the main character knows about and the judge lets a 15 year old represent herself in court. It’s too much.
I will not be going back and reading the first book neither will I be reading any other book that may come out in this series. And yet I was entertained for a bit while reading it.
