This is a prequel to Pet, an amazing book unlike anything I had ever read before. This is the story of Lucille while it was still dangerous. It's in the future from now, but perhaps not too far off. This story looks at the different ways to approach conflict, why one might not want to put their body on the line, and why one might say yes. This book shows the horror of angels, and the might. There's a lot to ponder here. 

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this title.
