I absolutely freaking loved it. Rox is an amazing character and I really enjoyed her chemistry with Marty, her stepfather. The story seems to be the first in a series and I can't wait for the next one. It follows Rox, a former CIA analyst who runs a PI business and occasionally employs her stepfather, Marty, who is a retired police officer. Together they take on cases involving girls who need to be extracted from dangerous cults. This is a personal mission for Rox and Marty, as Rox's sister Jolene was killed by a cult leader after being sexually assaulted repeatedly by him, years ago. She is tasked with extracting Emma, a girl who is struggling with her own guilt following a car accident, which resulted in the death of her friend, from Sister Love. Sister Love is a cult that preys on girls like Emma, who are suicidal and struggle with guilt. They take everything from them and bleed their families dry. Rox makes it her mission to both extract Emma and shut down Sister Love for good.
The thing that makes this story so intriguing to me is Rox and her personality disorder. She doesn't sense emotion and does display emotion or affection, but she is undergoing treatment for it and it starts to show. It makes her happier and it shows in her relationship with her stepfather. Unfortunately it also causes a rift between her boyfriend and her, but in the long run, it is a great thing. I can't wait to read more of her story and see where she goes. ( )
