Thank you to NetGalley, author Shade Owen’s and Res Raven Publishing for the ARC and opportunity to review this book.

4.5⭐️ rounded up just because the ending didn’t really do it for me.

This was my first from this author but it won’t be the last. It was hunger games meets death row. A nice change from the usual overdone storylines. It was suspenseful and gripping. A fast paced read. I loved Eddy and Brooke’s characters and felt the author did a great job developing them throughout the book.

The storyline was done well, my only complaint was the very last part. I felt it was just thrown in there and didn’t really fit at the end. I would have preferred it somewhere else along the book.

Overall a great book!

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
