Publisher's summary

From a talented new name in crime fiction comes a gritty tale of how far we'll go to protect the ones we love.

Everyone says the Elders family are nothing but cheats, thieves, and convicts - a fact 19-year-old Jamie Elders has been trying desperately to escape. She may have the natural talent of a poker savant, but her dreams of going pro and getting the hell out of the tiny town of Blind River, New York, are going nowhere fast - especially when she lands in a huge pile of debt to her uncle Loyal.

At Loyal's beck and call until her debt is repaid, Jamie can't easily walk away - not with her younger brother Toby left at his mercy. So when Loyal demands Jamie's help cleaning up a mess late one night, she has no choice but to agree. But disposing of a dead man and covering up his connection to the town's most powerful judge goes beyond family duty. When it comes out that the victim was a beloved athlete and Loyal pins the murder on Toby, only Jamie can save him. But with a dogged detective on her trail and her own future at stake, she'll have to decide: Embrace her inner criminal, or defy it - and face the consequences.

Really good surprise!

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, admittedly free from Audible. It turned out to be really good- I liked the characters, the story, Brittany Pressley did a great job narrating. I enjoyed the story & looked forward to hearing more every time I listened. Totally worth a credit!

Excellent

Well written, compelling, very real and original! The main character draws you in, the action is continuous and there are enough twists and turns so you don't really know what the outcome will be. Excellent job

Didn’t put down

My first criteria in rating a book is was it “unputdownable”. For me, This one was. More action than introspection. Decent characters. A little dark. Good reader.

Ended too soon

I loved the pace of the book, and it keeps you hooked all the way until the end, I just didn’t like how it ended so abruptly! I wanted to know where Jamie was going to go in the end after all the chips had hit the table.
