“"When you took a life, you lost some form of protection you didn't even know you had until it was gone. Left you in a place where bad people started tuning in to your frequency."
To me, this quote summarizes the theme of this book. All the characters have lost or given up a piece of their humanity, whether from greed or desperation. No adult is innocent, no child is safe.
Fans of action movies will enjoy this. It moves from violent scene to violent scene with little introspection to slow the narrative. The violence and foul language seem right in this context, I can't imagine these characters acting any other way.
I received an ARC of this book through an Early Reviewer program.”
