I'll start by saying that this is indeed a dark and harrowing tale. It comes with a warning and is not for the feint-hearted.That being said....Wow! What an opening chapter!Tori has had the most horrific start to life and although tough as nails and worldly, in some ways, she's also incredibly naive and damaged.Shying away from human touch and now caught in a situation where she is forced to relive the bleakest moments of her life so far, she seems to connect with Agent Eli Founder.Eli, having never heard of, or met, Tori before being assigned to her case, sees something in her that others don't. It's more than mere empathy for her though and as she opens up to him, will the lines be blurred?This, the first book in A New Life series, is a torturous start to Tori's tale. Packed with so much information on what came before, it gave me an understanding of who Tori was, but the question remains, who will Tori become? Can she change, grow, reinvent herself? Or will she revert to her upbringing, signalling her demise?This book is beautifully written and clawed it's way into me and I thoroughly enjoyed (if that's the right word for this sort of book?!) but heed the warnings!
