I truly enjoyed this book. The historical fiction was so good. I was fooled almost to the end. The players in the ring of child virgins and no one was immune to the rise of power in the bad person. So much of this book was good, but I must remain vague in order to not give anything away. It was a great suspense and a wonderful network of friends.

Carrie Lee believed she was an orphan. She has lived in an orphanage all her life. At twelve years old, there is a break in and she is taken. The man, Reddy, turned out to be her biological father. He tells her what happened to her mother and her birth name, Shannon Lee Burton. He provides for her financially but is mostly an absent father.

As an adult, she finds he was an operative of the CIA. Actually, he is a high paid sniper. She begins training with him and together they begin rescuing the girls from the orphanage. They were being sold as child brides.

The book has a steady pace, somewhat developed characters, and it is written in the first-person point of view. The information on Korean culture was interesting.

I learned a lot of Korean history and culture by reading this book. It was very good and packed many elements inside the pages. You can’t judge a book by it’s title.
Many thanks to David Marshall Hunt and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.
