Thanks to Netgalley, the author and Bookishfirst for this early copy! I enjoyed the first Emily Calby book last her- The hiding girl about the young girl on the run after her family was killed.

In this one we start with Emily in a juvenile prison and we meet her roommate, Rebecca, and learn about the abuse and fighting that is going on at the prison with the guards and with other prisoners.

Emily’s case for killing the sleazy man in the first book is going to trial. She gets a public defender and decides that she will be reading all she can about law and hopefully finding a way to get let off her case so she can be free. Her big obstacle is the mean lawyer representing the state who seems to have a problem with juvenile offenders.

This was a quick ride just like the first one. Initially I didn’t know if I’d want to read courtroom drama since I don’t normally like it, but this was a good one!
