I love stories that have a tough female protagonist. This is one of those stories.  Seraphy's had a rough life. She grew up privileged, but lost her fiance to a bullet at a young age, then she joined the Marines and wound up going to war, followed by a stint in Blackpool where she was blown up and left with some pretty bad scars, both physically and emotionally.Now she's set up house in a rundown, gang-ridden neighborhood. She's determined not to leave, but she needs to find a way to survive and make this place her home.It's a sometimes dark and gritty tale, but it has heart too. A huge thumbs up for the debut novel of this author.For more reviews check out A.B. Shepherd's Reinvented Reader.
