Thank you to PENGUIN GROUP Putnam | G.P. Putnam's Sons for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. 

Alma Katsu wastes no time launching you into the story. From a brief glimpse of childhood to the second in line of a powerful company, the way the rich and powerful move is just different. 

And I’ll be honest. Not a single one of the characters is redeemable. They are awful. They are reprehensible. And I think that’s the point. It’s written very well. You genuinely hate the family from page 1. I was mostly rooting for the protector in this novel. And well, I won’t spoil the ending for you.
