Formerly Joy Humbolt, a normal woman with a brother and a normal life, Sydney Rye was reborn from the blood of her murdered brother. And as with people who are changed by trauma and tragedy, Sydney became harder with a more masculine side-motorcycle riding, leather jacket wearing, whiskey-drinking, commitment-phobic, and totally badass. Luckily for reporter, Anita, and the hundreds of children molested and abused by Indian billionaire, Kalpesh Shah, Sydney enjoys a good fightA strong protagonist with visible and invisible scars and a deep love for her faithful dog, Blue, Sydney is a tragic heroine who seems to be headed for a life alone. She is not an empathetic character because, really, who lives a crazy life like that? What she is though is a broken character. Someone who will always put her neck on the line for the betterment of others. That's why readers will cheer her on and continue reading the series. Like Bruce Willis in Die Hard, Sydney takes a beating but keeps getting up bloodied because of her strong sense of justice. The book also reads quickly with great dialogues and quick but brutal action. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the whole series very soon!
