A teen is forced to make a fresh start after witnessing a violent crime—but love and danger find her anyway in this novel from Becca Fitzpatrick, the New York Times bestselling author of the Hush, Hush saga.

Stella Gordon is not her real name. Thunder Basin, Nebraska, is not her real home. This is not her real life.

After witnessing a lethal crime, Stella Gordon is sent to the middle of nowhere for her own safety before she testifies against the man she saw kill her mother’s drug dealer.

But Stella was about to start her senior year with the boyfriend she loves. How can she be pulled away from the only life she knows and expected to start a new one in Nebraska? Stella chafes at her protection and is rude to everyone she meets. She’s not planning on staying long, so why be friendly? Then she meets Chet Falconer and it becomes harder to keep her guard up, even as her guilt about having to lie to him grows.

As Stella starts to feel safer, the real threat to her life increases—because her enemies are actually closer than she thinks…

Resenhas (7)

4 (Muito bom)

Uma adolescente é testemunha de um crime e tem sua identidade alterada pela justiça através de um programa de proteção a testemunhas. Assim, passa a viver em uma cidadezinha muito diferente da vida que levava antes.
O tema é interessante, a escrita é fluida e te prende, não desde o início. E tem um giro na história que é bem surpreendente.
Penso que poderia ter algumas tantas páginas a menos se fosse mais direta.
