Jazz will stop at nothing to save her brother.
Their foster mother, Carol, has always been fanatical, but with Jazz grown up and out of the house, Carol takes a dangerous turn that threatens thirteen-year-old Joaquin’s life. Over and over, child services fails to intervene, and Joaquin is running out of time.
Then Jazz gets a blocked call from someone offering a solution. There are others like her—people the law has failed. They’ve formed an underground network of “helpers,” each agreeing to eliminate the abuser of another. They’re taking back their power and leaving a trail of bodies throughout Los Angeles—dubbed the Blackbird Killings. If Jazz joins them, they’ll take care of Carol for good.
All she has to do is kill a stranger.
My Review:
This book reminds me of something that I just can't *quite* put my finger on and it's driving me crazy! This is one of those ripple effect kind of books. You do one thing then that thing make another thing happen and so on and so forth. When you're desperate, why wouldn't you take what seems like a fairly reasonable, albeit deadly, deal? There are rules set in place of course... and you must follow them, but sometimes you're just damned if you do and damned if you don't.
I flew through the first 75% of the this book. When the big reveal came, I was like.. wait, who? Somehow I was at a complete loss - that's how little this character seemed to take my notice. Oopsie! So I was fairly disappointed there. But then of course, it hit me and I was all DOH! In any case, regardless of a rather muted reveal and a couple of questionable things... I really enjoyed this book.
Moderately paced, addictive and I just fell in love with Jazz and Joaquin. And I also really liked the ending, regardless of the slight predictability. Ya Heard? *wink*
★★★★
