I enjoyed reading this story about Athena Hamilton. As a 16 year old, after losing her mother to cancer and her father abandoning her, she wants to start a new life in Las Vegas. Her dreams of becoming a showgirl don’t last long and soon she’s working as a prostitute for Mike. She’s a survivor but realises she needs to escape Mike soon. Two men want to help her but which one can she trust? First there is Isaiah, the boy who was her first kiss at 12 and is now a pastor or there is Harris who’s working for Mike for 2 years and is his second in command.
Which one to trust? Is it a trap? Which betrayal would hurt most?
This was a well written book which started slow but the second half made up for that with lots of suspense.
