Until one night, she is violently attacked.

Suddenly, Jet has run out of time – and this is her last chance to see something through.

Ratings and reviews

Not sure really how I feel about this one, sorry. I read all the good girls guide through to the resurrection of Rachel,lasso looking forward to this one pre ordered. Its a fair read but seems a lot similar to something I've either read or watched before, someone investigating there own murder etc. I guess I just a little disheartened was expecting more. Sorry

very good to go jl I know of those out

good got me hooked on every word
