Review: Have you ever read a book that snuck up on you? This one did. It was an interesting story about Abby (tragic backstory but trying to do good) and Jake (tragic backstory, not on the best path). The material is not for everyone (abuse, drugs, graphic violence) but these two "worked." I didn't find Jake's profession realistic or necessary for the book (although this is part of a series and I'm not sure how he plays into the other books) but I did like how Frazier handled their relationship, especially at the end. What surprised me the most was Abby and Jake's father. Surprisingly heartwarming. 

Grade: 4/5
