Review: Sometimes lessons can hurt
Rating: 4 out of 5

A delinquent teen and a gang of thugs. Not your best connection, but one that Rain Philipa enjoyed while she could, having runaway from home after her parents were forced to show tough love. Saved by one of the thug members, she soon became immersed in their lifestyle. The teen-aged angst was shown well, though it was hard to care for the characters until much later in the story. The ends found their way to being tied up in a way that worked. It took a while for me to get through the book, some because the dialogue sometimes went on for too long and repetitively. All-in-all, as a YA thriller, I can see how some teens may get quite tuned in to this tale.
