Summer and Leo, survivors of difficult childhoods, live together in a refurbished Land Cruiser. Summer is an experienced pick-pocket. She uses this skill to support them. Leo wants to do her share and decides on the long-con where she seduces rich men.
Leo meets a tech billionaire, Michael Forrester and succeeds in getting an invitation to his private island. She’s sure she’ll make a big score, jewelry to sell and possibly incriminating photos. Leo leaves with Michael promising to call the next day. When Summer doesn’t hear from her she decides to follow her to the island to make sure she’s all right, But she can’t find Leo and things on the island take a dark turn.
This is a fun thriller. The characters are well done. I particularly liked Summer. She’s a strong woman and a survivor. Leo is more subdued, but also interesting. The flashbacks throughout the novel give us insight into the girls’ backgrounds and increase our understand of their character. The plot is a bit fantastical, but it pulls you in making the book hard to put down. The pace is good It’s a little slow in the beginning, but picks up once the girls are on the island.
I recommend this for a good summer read if you enjoy thrillers.
I received this book from Random House for this review.
