This electric
cross-country thriller follows the game of cat and mouse between a girl on the
run from a murder she witnessed—or committed?—and the boy who’s sent to kill
her.
Nicolette
Holland is the girl everyone likes. Up for adventure. Loyal to a fault. And
she’s pretty sure she can get away with anything…until a young woman is
brutally murdered in the woods near Nicolette’s house. Which is why she has to
disappear.
Jack Manx has
always been the stand-up guy with the killer last name. But straight A’s and
athletic trophies can’t make people forget that his father was a hit man and
his brother is doing time for armed assault. Just when Jack is about to
graduate from his Las Vegas high school and head east for college, his brother
pulls him into the family business with inescapable instructions: find this ruthless
Nicolette Holland and get rid of her. Or else Jack and everyone he loves will
pay the price.
As Nicolette
and Jack race to outsmart each other, tensions—and attractions—run high. Told
in alternating voices, this tightly plotted mystery and tense love story
challenges our assumptions about right and wrong, guilt and innocence, truth
and lies.
Yep, imagine. Find out. The only thing I would say is that it's a bit on the chunky side. It's one of those I'm still not sure how I feel about the "extras." You know the parts that kind of drags a bit, but really does add a little something. In one sense, I want to get to the end of it, and in another, I'm kind of enjoying the back and forth. Overall, I had fun with this action packed, fast paced thriller.
