What a wonderful start to this amazing series. Why does Hazel feel that she is a pawn in this game of secrets and lies? Why is her father and Cruz keeping her out in the dark? If she really knew what is going on could it harm her, or worse yet, kill her? Who can she really trust, and why is Cruz, her cousins, and his crew always there to protect her? Ali Dean has written an intriguing story about lies, betrayal, secrets, murder, jealousy, drugs, fights and a lot of teenage angst. I couldnt stop listening! Oh and there’s a WTF just happened cliffhanger at the end!

Sarah Puckett, as usual, is a phenomenal narrator. Showing Hazel at her strongest, weakest and most vulnerable moments. Her voices and personalities for each character made this story come alive! Her ability to transition from one character to the other is flawless.
