Her parents either killed or abducted. She escapes and flees her hometown thinking that she will find safety in the big city of Seatt...

I totally agree with other reviewers when they say they felt like they were watching a movie in their head and almost forgot they were reading it and not actually living it. This book grabbed me and sucked me in from the very beginning. This writer is going to do amazing things and I am very excited to read her next book.

I absolutely loved this book! It was a refreshing story that not only kept my interest, but definitely kept me wanting more. The characters were interesting and the twists and turns were fantastic! I had a difficult time putting it down and, even with this book finished, am still looking forward to more!
