You’ll want this on your shelves, I guarantee. She’s a young woman fuelled by rage, and by the end of this book, Sloane will be unforgettable. A young woman who faces betrayal head on, and rather than admit defeat, she gets angry. Every turn of the page I found myself trapped within the pages of a cruel world that places people into intolerable conditions to make them heartless, but found myself facing a young woman who refused to give up. I started this book, and found myself rooted to the very spot I started it in, and didn’t stop until the very end. Stories that bear the harsh realities of the world and its inhabitants, but also show that people can be so much more than what they’re expected to be. There are stories in this world that brim with power. ![]()
