About This Book
In a fractured future where genetic hierarchy determines who lives and who bleeds, Narah Adrienne has survived by being faster and colder than everything hunting her. A bounty enforcer who operates at the edge of human and inhuman, she's one quota kill from stability — until the system she serves turns against her. Marked, pursued, and caught between two powerful males whose loyalties are anything but simple, Narah has to decide how much of herself she's willing to sacrifice to survive. This is dark paranormal fiction with real stakes, where the monsters aren't metaphors and the heroine earns every inch of ground she holds.
Tamara Rose Blodgett writes with velocity — short, sharp scenes that keep tension coiled even in quieter moments. The futuristic world-building is confident without being laborious, dropping readers into a dystopian landscape that feels lived-in rather than explained. What sets this book apart as a reading experience is how it balances brutal action with genuine character pressure: the push-pull between Narah and the males orbiting her never softens into comfort. Readers who want paranormal fiction with an unapologetic edge and a heroine who doesn't wait to be rescued will find this hard to put down.
