A thriller tracing the evolution of a strong-willed protagonist as she ralliest against the demons of her past." - Kirkus Reviews "Richly developed characters, swift pacing, and a present-tense narrative plunge the reader effectively into the moment, while Johansson's empathy for victims of domestic abuse draws attention to an important issue." - Booklist "This chiller for older teens offers an exceptional narration by a survivor of abuse." - VOYA "This suspenseful novel focuses attention on the plight of enslaved and abused children through an action/adventure plot, drawing on the satisfaction of liberating agency and righteous justice outside the law.
