I just can’t get enough of this series; there’s so many levels to the story & it’s scary how easy it is to see this as a possible future. I love that Rachel Churcher can make me feel sorry for a character that I should hate & how much she makes me think about what I’m reading. I’m so eager for book four, but can’t believe it ends with book five.

⚠️ Violence, guns, discussions of terrorist behaviour, violent interrogation, death of a parent, abuse toward a wheelchair user & alcoholism ⚠️

I was sent this book to review as part of a blog tour organised by Rachel’s Random Resouces.

With the first two books in this series, Churcher told the same series of events from the points of view of the antagonists. Our hero Bex got the first book and her nemesis Ketty got the second. Now we get the continuation of the story with each taking charge of alternating chapters. The tension is greater (and it wasn't low in the first two books) and the motivations more interesting. Ketty isn't any more likable than she was in the earlier books, but she's becoming a much deeper character. And the relationship between this tale and the headlines just gets tighter.
