Goodreads Synopsis:

16-year-old Cathy Hunter wants revenge.

It is 2024, when criminal trials take place on television, with the verdict decided by public vote. Under this populist system, Cathy's uncle Bobby Jensen was found guilty of raping and murdering his 13-year-old daughter Judith, in the face of overwhelming DNA evidence, despite an alibi. And now he is dead - the victim of an unsuccessful escape attempt planned by his niece.

It was Cathy herself who gave him an alibi at his trial. But the public didn't believe her and she was vilified as a sick perjurer. Now she wants revenge on all the people responsible for uncle Bobby's death... the DNA "expert"... the cop who interrogated Bobby... the DA... and TV personality "Judge Jenny" who is more into stripping than law.

Cathy Hunter is... the Vigilante Girl.

My Review:

Vigilante Girl is a story of grief and vengeance.  Sadness looms in the eyes of Cathy and the family surrounding her.  She is stricken with a fear that won't subside.  The fear that her Uncle Bobby will not be coming home.  

Cathy is looking to shed blood in this angsty read.  She is out for justice for what has happened to her Uncle Bobby.  He has been wrongfully accused of sexually assaulting and murdering his thirteen year old daughter.  But Cathy is bound and determined to fight the justice system and have her Uncle Bobby walk free.  Only the Justice System would rather he rot and die, before freeing this pedophile murderer.  She's on a mission to have anyone who thought of her uncle as a deranged madman, dead.  She has a methodical strategy working for her and being a genius in science really makes her plots that much better.  Will she be able to take down the people who have destroyed her families lives?  

You are really in for a wild ride with this read.  We are left off with a crazy cliffhanger, and honestly I was not expecting it.  I liked this story.  But I think I could have loved it, if this book had been edited properly.  There were some words that were wrong in sentences or words that were misspelled.  I think once this book has been properly edited, it will be more enjoyable for the reader.  Other than that, the book was good.
