I was excited to obtain an eARC from Susan Kaye Quinn in order to help her proofread! I was eager to discover the continuing story of Kira and her intriguing mindjacking abilities, and enjoyed this novel as I combed through it. Interesting new characters are introduced, most of them mindjackers of varying talents who live in the dangerous area of Jackertown. Political storms begin to brew. Kira has daunting/challenging tasks to perform, and a number of people to protect--such as her boyfriend Raf.

The twists and turns kept me guessing and chuckling; I love to be surprised. Kira is forced to come to grip with some heavy issues in this book, and she has to make hard choices. I especially liked the characters of Julian, Anna, and Ava.

Here's a nice image/line: Thinking about that made a scream start to crawl up my throat…

I appreciated that Kira's victories were hard-won, and that she had setbacks. There are no easy escapes or rescues here, and that makes the story more realistic and exciting.
