This is a short story which packs a punch. It shows how the lives of people who seem totally unconnected to each other can sometimes become so entwined they change the future forever.Jillian and her friend Mel are mugged in the subway and are visited by police officers. Jillion finds herself attracted to one of them, Calvin, but he is married. Against her better judgement she starts seeing him, and that is the start of a series of events you have to read to believe.Lyla is Calvin's daughter, and her life is the one which changes more dramatically than any other. The way she reacts to the changes in the lives of those closest to her turn this story into something more than I originally expected, but in a really good way!The author weaves the connections between those featured in this story seamlessly. The way things spiral out of control so fast makes this a story which took my breath away.This novella is a prequel to the authors Blood for Blood series, coming this winter, and I cannot wait to see what she comes out with next. This is a series which excites me and I for one will be waiting with bated breath for the release!
