This was a weird book. At the end, I thought, ok this is it? I know it's a series but too many things didn't add up.First of all, Bri is this abused teenager on the run from her parents, basically. However, she likes violence? She likes "trouble"? And yet, it seems more like a reaction to the violence she received than any sort of empowerment over it. Also, she parks by crack heads and is beaten up . . . but still parks by them? Still feels bad for them? That's fine, but maybe move your parking so you're not killed. Then, when she is home with the guy who saved her from getting killed, her roommate seems to make a comment about her being beaten and with a guy- like this is typical for her. So, you like being abused? Again, no connection is made between that and her familyThen, she goes off on Luke because he boxes illegally. She hates boxers because her dad was one. That was out of nowhere. Then, the rest of the story she worries she's like her mom, a prostitute who let her dad abuse them. You didn't worry about that before, when you were letting anyone or everyone hurt you? THe whole boxing thing was weird too -- there were all these weird comments being made. It's one thing to set up a mystery or suspense but this just made no sense whatsoever and none of the dots connected. It just felt really weird and random.
