This book is great for
For readers who finished the first book and needed to know she survives becoming something else entirely. This one puts her in a cage most heroines don't come back from — and she comes back sharper.
Series: Cat and Mouse Duet, Book 2
- true crime devotees who've thought hard about what survival actually costs
- wants their heroine cunning, not just resilient
- finished book one wanting Zade feral, not domesticated
- reads "angel of death" as a compliment, not a warning
