I don’t die easily. I don’t break clean. I come back sharper than before.

The dual narration by Sierra Kline and Wen Ross enhances the experience, giving distinct voices to the complex characters involved in this twisted tale of kidnapping and torture within a biker gang backdrop.
The author's choice to incorporate multiple points of view allows readers to understand differing motivations—particularly the protagonist’s cold, calculated thirst for vengeance and the antagonist’s ruthless positioning within a violent world. What resonates personally is how the protagonist refuses to be defined by her past trauma.
