Lily Sandover has risked everything in her attempt to take down the Commission of the People and expose their corruption in post-Second Revolution America. Her group known as the Central Angels is gaining ground, forcing the people to question the practices of the Commission of the People. When Lily is disowned from her family, she plans more drastic moves, rallying her small collection of rebels against Dana Christenson with growing boldness.
But she underestimates her opponent. She finds herself backed into a corner, struggling to maintain her position against widespread propaganda and being framed for deadly attacks on the capital. Lily begins to lose hope and wonders if she will find a way to defeat Dana Christenson and bring about the change so desperately needed in America.

I finished this book in 1 day. However, it took me awhile to figure out how to do this review. I want to start by saying, I do not recommend this book for anyone under the age of 18 nor the faint at heart. If you are easily offended, this is not the book for you. Now, without giving spoilers what I loved about this book was that it put me on an emotional rollercoaster. I went through so many emotions with this book; fear, anger, sadness, joy as so on. The power struggle between the two main characters Lily and Dana is very intense. This book also shows you how easy it is for a good person to become corrupted by power, fear and politics. I was forced to think if I would have done the same thing in the characters situations. If you do pick up this book, just be prepared for anything...
This book was just weird. The writer did a great job on the characters making them very whole and complex, but the ending seemed not finished if that makes sense. I did enjoy the darkness of it, but there were a lot of loose threads that left me wondering what happened to a lot of the characters. They just weren't mentioned again. I don't know if that was done deliberately or not.
