Nayuleska's thoughts
It was a refreshing change to have a thriller where the heroine stays in one place and is helped by kind people, instead of having to move away from the kindess and to face trials on her own. Angel goes through tough times, makes big mistakes but gets over the hurdles with a lot of determination and a new emotion, love. I was scared for her right until fhe end. So far no sign of a sequel but there is going to be a tv drama of this 9/10 book!

For another girl who must escape at all costs check out Angel by L A Weatherly.
