This book is about a woman named Maya whose sister is killed while she was serving in the military. A few years later, Maya’s husband is also murdered right in front of her. She takes on a quest to figure out what happened to her husband and her sister. Details are uncovered and betrayals are brought to light as Maya struggles to learn the truth.

I really liked this book. The plot was interesting throughout the entire book, but I especially loved the ending. It was so unexpected and I never could have predicted it. The author is very descriptive and constantly provides backstory on the characters. They are detailed in a way that allows the reader to really connect with these characters. Overall, I would really recommend this book because it is exciting and totally surprising.
