What Hurts the Most (7th Street Crew Book 1) by Willow Rose in a mystery with lots of twists & turns. I gave it five stars.

“After five years of working there, you simply stop being baffled. However, I am actually baffled at this moment. But not because of the view. Because of what is being said. ‘So, you’re firing me, is that it?’ I asked, while my blood is boiling in my veins. What the hell is this? ‘Letting you go, yes.’

“I look at my dad. It is scary how much we look alike. I see it every time I look in the mirror. Every day, I am reminded of where I have come from, even though I try so hard to forget.”

“I think long & hard for a comeback, but unfortunately I have never been fast at those things. I can always come up with something a few days later, something real clever & witty, but never in the moment. I often wonder if people will think it weird if I call them a few weeks later & give them the line.”

I purchased this on sale & was glad to start with Book 1. I look forward to reading the next two books of the series, You Can Run & You Can’t Hide.

This book was so much fun -- fast paced and action-packed, with world building that actually made sense... all the good stuff you want in a war-stricken dystopia.

And then, THEN, as I was caught up in the chaos and action and basically just loving life, Marie Lu decided to stop just long enough rip out my heart and toss it into the mix. Don't get me wrong, I love a book that socks me right in the feels, but I was so not expecting that.

It's fine though, because I'm reading a COMPLETE FREAKIN' TRILOGY (for the first time in my life, maybe?) so if you'll excuse me a moment, I'm off to tear apart my library until I find book three.
