Have you ever known what it feels like to die? It’s not great. Trust me, I don’t recommend it. I’ve always said that my life is about surviving, but I didn’t realize how true that was until the devil sent me soaring off a bridge with the love of my life and lodged a bullet through my thigh. It’s not my time to die. He should know by now that I’m a survivor and it’s going to take a little more than a submerged Dodge RAM in the bottom of the river and a bullet to take me out. I want my revenge and I want it now. Lucien Valentine will not get away with this. Someone should have warned me that when you’re playing with fire, you’re bound to get burned. This game just upped the stakes and this time, I might not have what it takes to make it out the other end.

Seriously, how could I NOT read this book after that ending in book 2?! Thankfully, it picks up right were 2 left off and I found myself thinking, ‘Wow, this is so aptly titled…’ just a few minutes in. Absolutely brilliant.
Anne knows how to write an incredibly strong female lead who only manages to grow on multiple fronts and end up even stronger before she’s done.
Action, danger, suspense, violence.
Extreme injuries (from aforementioned action & danger).
Found (literal) family.
Fun, current pop-culture references.
Realistic banter.
Jocks … and mean girls.
Heart-wrenching scenes.
Trafficking (of minors).
Talk of SA (of minors).
I can’t even describe the hold this series has on me—the writing, the fictional town/world, the characters, the suspense, the action, the mix of violence and hope of a bright future—and STILL the promise of a very dark immediate future … it just packs everything and moves FAST. 100% recommend—but you’ll need the whole series, trust me on that one.
After absolutely dying for it, it was everything I expected it to be, and more. Can’t wait for the next.
4.5 stars.
