Wow. That's all I can say. I sped through this book wanting to see what was going to happen next. Emily is 12 when two men murder her mother and sister. When the two men show up, you start to feel apprehensive. From there on, you will root for Emily and hold your breath as she tries to survive while simultaneously trying to find the men that ruined her life.
Th characters were great. Fleshed out. Emily makes a great, strong, smart protagonist. A very real 12 (she tuns 13 during the book) year old girl that is trying to navigate life on the streets while traumatized and, orphaned. She makes mistakes, as would anyone else. You read about her evolution from a scared mouse to ferocious fighter.
Lucas is also a solid character. As were the people Emily met along the way. Good and bad.
TW for cutting, and rape.
I am looking forward to other books by this author. I can't wait to read the sequel.
