Nita doesn't murder supernatural beings and sell their body parts on the internet—her mother does that. Nita just dissects the bodies after they've been "acquired." But when her mom brings home a live specimen, Nita decides she wants out — dissecting living people is a step too far.
But when she tries to save her mother's victim, she ends up sold on the black market in his place — because Nita herself is a supernatural being. Now Nita is on the other side of the bars, and there is no line she won't cross to escape and make sure no one can ever capture her again.
Nita did a good deed, and it cost her everything. Now she's going to do a lot of bad deeds to get it all back.
My Review:
I enjoyed this book. It did take me a little while to get into it-I had it out from the library last year, and tried it and couldn't get into it, but I gave it another shot, and I was able to continue, and I had a pretty great time, if it's not a favourite.
This book is very dark, and bloody. To harvest parts of dead supernatural beings and sell them...it's horrifying, especially since they were killed for you to do so. To then have to take from someone who is living, that's torture, and so very monstrous! No wonder Nita wants out!
But when she's sold in the black market because she tried to help her mom's victim, that was not cool. This was basically her villain origin story, and you can understand why she was doing what she was doing. She was in a horrible place, and she didn't want to stay there, or be put there again.
That last chapter though, that was a twist! I'm so excited to see where things go from there! Like, I get that he was in a bad place, but she tried to help him, and he betrayed her. Not cool. So I can't wait to see how things play out from here!
I had a good time reading this book, and I can't wait to continue the series!
