On one average day, two men show up and kill 12-year-old Emily Calby's entire family. She ends up on the run, making some unlikely friends, and trying to track down the men so she can enact her revenge on them.
This was so exciting, I really enjoyed this all the way through! Emily was a dark character, as to be expected based on what she went through, and I LOVED the characters she ended up befriending in her revenge plan.
There were lots of twists and turns throughout, and a shockingly emotional ending. (Seriously, that ending caught me completely off guard). This ending up being a great range of gritty and dark and funny and emotional all in one.
My only negative was the somewhat predictable "people don't stay dead if you turn your head" trope.
I'd give this 4.5 stars, and I'm very much looking forward to reading the next in the series, and seeing how Emily continues to grow.
