HUGE thanks to Nia Davenport, Epic Reads, and Storygram Tours for the title! My review is voluntarily written and in no way impacted by this gesture.

LC fingers the silk scarf with poppies splattered across it like blood. After she's used it to get the information she needs, she rests it next to her bed.

Penguins, this read is a good your breath to the finish line, poignant, hard hitting expose on all the things that make us human and all the ways that can be used against us. The concept, from start to finish, is uniquely and beautifully crafted. This is a thriller that will keep you with one eye cracked even while you sleep. This book will follow you home, stop you in your tracks, seep into every corner of your mind until you're second guessing and self doubting.

Nia Davenport penned a soul-splitting tale and bade readers follow along. And you will, Penguins. These characters are believable, the world building is honed and detailed, and this journey is going to leave you thinking no matter how you close the final page. There is something distinctly HUMAN about this read, as of Nia Davenport hooked her fingers into a thousand brains just to piece them all together. If you're looking for your next thriller to pick up.... THIS is the one.

And our strength doesn't lie in how physically strong we may or may not be, either. It's soul-deep; no one can take it from us.

We are fierce. We are epic. We are bold.

And all of us are survivors.

I definitely recommend this to thrill seekers, purveyors of the poignant and believable, and those who don't mind a little conspiracy theory with their morning coffee. The writing is vivid, this story is chilling, and I now need to go scrub this new found fear from the recesses of my brain. Be careful what you wish for, Penguins.
