What a ride.

I first saw this book in the Goodreads Giveaways and thought the cover looked interesting, So i read the synopsis and entered the giveaway. Then I saw it was available on NetGalley and quickly got approved. This was such an engaging and fun read I am so glad I requested it.

We follow a new FBI Agent, Yolanda as she goes undercover on her first mission. She's told they are an extremist group, radicalizing teenagers and causing problems for a company who came to a small town. The company is pushing a bunch of fantastic green measures, and providing jobs to the community.

As Yolanda dives deep into the case she discovers things may not be what she was led to believe and has to begin questioning everything she thought she knew and figure out where her loyalties truly lie.

To say I was hooked is an understatement. I flew through this in a matter of hours, and was genuinely upset when I had to set it down over the course of 3 days when real life got in my way. It was engaging, fast paced and addicting. There was real-world terror in it, it all felt like a story that could (is?) happen every day.

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC. I am SO excited to start reading this
