REVIEWER: LAURA
RATING: 5 STARS
Intense!
This is such a gripping book! The first part is hard because it describes Ruby's experience when her parents sold her to sex traffickers. I can't understand why her parents could be so cruel. There is not a lot of detail about her time, but be sure to know it may have triggers for some people. I was glad when I got through that part.
Ruby is a strong person to have gotten away and start a new life. I like that her sisters are there for her. They help protect her when she is involved in a home invasion. The author is quite creative to come up with this story.
I like Judah. He can see Ruby as a strong person. He treats her with respect while he protects her from the gang of home invaders. He is careful while he lets her know he cares for her. I like that he doesn't push her into a relationship too fast without her consent.
I really liked this book. The plot moved quickly. I was surprised by the resolution of the murders. I would never have guessed who the gang was. I look forward to the next book in this series.
