I struggled with this one. I'm fine with gritty and dark story lines, but the plot and the characters (especially the villains) were too over the top for me. This one was a miss.

Madison Ford is an award winning journalist who has been asked to do an interview with Elodie Fontaine an actress and humanitarian, who is also a huge fan of Madison Ford!
Madison has received a package full of information on a human trafficking ring which also deals in much needed body parts, (hearts, kidneys, etc.)
This is a debut novel and was quite strong in it's intensity, plot development and character development. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

I was intrigued by the subject matter and the book was well written. However, overall, I found it too violent. The plot was well developed but quite gory and intense, and I couldn't relate to the characters. Having said that, this is just my personal taste and this novel may well appeal to others.

An honest review thanks to NetGalley. This book was great; the characters were jumping off the pages and ready to face the difficult subject matter that was put in front of them. The plot was handled very well and gave the characters chances to grow and face different obstacles. I can see that for some people this book might not be what they were looking for, though the intrigue and mystery, as well as romance and something as horrific as organ traffic, kept me riveted and ready to learn all I could about the characters.

I thought that the subject matter of this novel was interesting and commend the author of tackling such a difficult topic. However, I did feel at times that it was a little too graphic for my taste.

Madison was a more believable character than Elodie. Due to Elodie not quite being such a believable character, I had a harder time getting invested in their story.

Between journalist Madison and actress Elodie I was hoping for a lovely story to develop. What eventuated didn't really appeal to me as there was little depth to Madison's life, nor Elodie's for that matter.
Their relationship developed too quickly to be realistic for me.
