Betrayed by the man she thought she loved and the agency who turned her into the very thing she fought against, Peri abandoned the wealth and privilege of Opti for anonymity riddled with memory gaps and self-doubt. But when a highly addictive drug promises to end her dependency on those who’d use her as a tool for their own success, she must choose to remain broken and vulnerable, or return to the above-the-law power and prestige she once left: strong but without will—for whoever holds her next fix, will hold her loyalty.
Yet even now as then, a love based on lies of omission might still save her life
This is the second book in the Peri Reed Chronicles and is best read after the first book The Drafter. It picks up shortly after the first book. Perri is in hiding from Opti. She is tired of being used, manipulated, and having her memory wiped. They find her and she has to either join them or figure out a way to be free of them. Unfortunately, OPI is not the only organization that wants her for her abilities. This introduces a few new characters that really added to the action, suspense and roller coaster ride of this book. It is easy to get on Peri's side and along with her, wonder who can be trusted. I felt the story was a bit repetitive, but it didn't distract from the overall enjoyment of it. I look forward to the final book that will hopefully get Peri where she wants to be.
January LaVoy did a great job with the character voices, the crazy twists and turns the story takes and especially Peri's desire for freedom.
