Have you ever felt a hunger so intense it blinds you from
everything else in your life?
For Claire Moore, her hunger for justice is her coping mechanism, her reason for getting out of bed each morning, struggling to face her day to day life alone after her father and brother were violently taken from her.

Other nineteen year olds are at parties and studying at University, living the
fun naïve life of a teenager, but in the world of Claire, there was nothing
left for her other than the desperate hunger for justice.
Unfortunately it’s this hunger that’s driven everyone who cares for her away,
unable to watch her place herself in danger any longer and that includes her
teenage love, Talon Baker.
But true love never really dies and after stumbling upon information to the identity of their murderers, together Talon and Claire are hunted until they can figure out the clues her father left for them.

Through her hunger for justice, Claire grows by relinquishing control of her
fight and allowing others to love her, even though the fear of losing them is
too excruciating bear.
My review:
Claire Moore is on a mission. She is determined to find
those who killed the dearest people in her life – her father Peter and her
brother Jim, both members of the NSW Police Force. Claire has angered a few
people by relentlessly trying to find the answers to their senseless deaths. Enter
Talon Baker, her brother’s best friend who disappeared from her world shortly
after Jim was killed. Talon is also in some kind of trouble and needs Claire’s
help because he knows that his situation and the death of his friends may
somehow be related. Together, Talon and Claire must race against the clock to
figure things out before their killers catch up with them.
This book has it all – action, suspense and romance. Kerri Williams
has written a fast-paced and engaging story about a headstrong and determined
young woman who has made it her life’s purpose to bring her family’s killers to
justice. Claire leads a lonely life focused on revenge. Talon’s unexpected
return brings more than her emotions back to life. She welcomes his help. They
both share a pain of losing the same people.
Talon becomes her protector and her weakness. Claire is no longer
alone.
The main characters are a perfect mix of stubborn
resilience, soulfulness and passion. The story follows Claire and Talon on the
run from people they don’t know, accusations they don’t understand and
situations they can’t control. The only constant that they have is each other. Flashbacks of their times together are highlighted
throughout the chase. Their history becomes the source of their trust. I related to
the smart exchanges between Talon and Claire, the sorrow in their voices and in
their thoughts. The author has cleverly woven their story into the current dilemma
that they face. I enjoyed the
intermingling of the heart pumping action scenes with the tender moments of their
redeveloping relationship.
When a story has you doubly vested, it grabs your full
attention and holds you in until the very end. Not only was I anxious to find
out who killed Jim and Peter but also whether or not, after everything, Claire
and Talon could have a future together.
I loved both answers. I can’t wait for more.
