Now a lawyer herself, Charlie has made it her mission to defend those with no one else to turn to. So when Flora Faulkner, a motherless teen, begs for help, Charlie is reminded of her own past, and is powerless to say no.
But honour-student Flora is in far deeper trouble than Charlie could ever have anticipated. Soon she must ask herself: how far should she go to protect her client? And can she truly believe everything she is being told?

It felt so good going back to the universe with Charlie as she was one of my favourite characters from The Good Daughter. This book was disturbing, twisted and simply dark that we just get a taste of the next book to be. We just get to meet Charlie and to be frank i fell in love with her more in this book. If Sam was my queen, Charlie has reached that level with this book. Truly enjoyed it 💖💖💖

Ordinary, 3 🌟 Only reason to rate this high is due to narration quality and the character portrayal of Flora, it had so much more potential though.
