Today’s second team review is from Judith, she blogs here https://judithbarrowblog.com/

My Review:

I was drawn to the cover of this book; it intrigued me and, together with the blurb, I was looking forward to the read.

The subject matter is dark; human trafficking, teenage runaways, enforced prostitution. It’s hard to read because of the themes and because of the depth and intensity of the writing.

The depictions of the settings and the atmosphere they evoke are strong, well described, well detailed. Las Vegas is revealed to have an underbelly of corruption and danger.

The characters are well drawn, especially the protagonist, Darcy. The reader learns a lot of the background, her family, her previous life, former encounters, her friends…
