BLURB:
When
17-year old Liva witnesses a brutal murder she's taken into police
custody for her own protection. But when bullets start flying, it
becomes clear that Liva is not just a witness, she's a target.
Together
with a car thief called Jay, Liva manages to escape the massacre -
but now the two of them are alone in New York, trying to outrun two
killers who will stop at nothing to find them.
When
you live on the edge, there's a long way to fall.

EXCERPTS :
‘You
shouldn’t stay with me,’ I say. ‘If I’m the one they’re
after then you’re not safe.’ I tail off, staring at the ground,
angry that my voice cracked.
Jaime
doesn’t say anything so I glance up. He’s staring at me fiercely,
his jaw clenching and unclenching as though he’s trying to dislodge
a tooth. ‘I’m not about to leave you here on the street,’ he
says, gesturing at the empty lot.
‘Someone’s
trying to kill me.’ I point out. ‘And someone who may or may not
work for my father is also trying to kidnap me.’
His
head is bowed and he looks up at me through his lashes. ‘Looks that
way,’ he says.
‘And
you want to hang around and wait to get shot at again?’
That
ghost of a half-smile again. ‘Call me old-fashioned.’
WOW this book will keep you on edge! Everything that happens is one thing after another and some you don't even see coming! Sarah Alderson did an amazing job with this book! Placing her on my all time fav authors! I really don't believe I would have been able to handle everything that Liva did! this is a book you don't want to pass up!
