Just like the first book in the series, this was fast-paced, suspenseful and exciting!
Synopsis: 3 years after the first book in the series ends, Emily is arrested for having an illegal handgun, and it turns out there's a warrant for her in Louisiana - where she's wanted for murder. She's extradited and preparing for trial while also trying to survive in the corrupt juvenile detention center she's been placed in.
As in the first book, Emily is an entertaining character - strong, stubborn, and with a strong sense of loyalty and justice. Which sometimes is admirable and sometimes frustrating as it regularly gets her into trouble.
While I missed Lucas not being as significant as a character in this book, I really enjoyed the new side characters introduced. I especially liked the public defender ,who are frequently misrepresented as inept or apathetic.
This was more of a legal thriller, instead of a...revenge thriller? Is that a genre? So it had a somewhat different pace to it, but was still really exciting.
I think this required a bit more suspension of disbelief than the first book did, and was a tad cheesy at times. But I enjoyed reading more about Emily and would recommend this to fans of thrillers!
