This was great! I love that the book took a turn that I didn’t see coming which changed everything. Vesper grew up in a cult but has left to be on her own. Her life is less than glamorous and she doesn’t have any strong connections. Most people at the restaurant she works at think […]

She is shocked to learn that she failed the background screening because she didn’t actually complete the degree she thought she had earned a decade earlier.

Spending a week in a citizen’s police academy was a very interesting decision, especially for a pair of women with a questionable history. What made […]
