The Mafia has a stranglehold on everything Kate loves, and Kate is determined to end it.
First they claimed her father, then destroyed her mother. The guy Kate cares for most is as much a prisoner as the family who raised her. And now, after all she's lost, the Mafia wants to recruit her. But Kate has had enough. As long as the Mafia exists, she and her loved ones will live and die in fear, cowering under a dark, all-encompassing power. That leaves Kate with little choice.
With the help of her Mafia-boss grandmother and a desperate wish for freedom, Kate must risk everyone she loves--and everything she is--to become the weapon that will take the Mafia down once and for all.

USA Today Bestselling author, Cindy M. Hogan is the author of edge of your seat, young adult suspense novels that always have a dash of romance, because every book should have hot guys and girls in them. Her first series, the Watched Series, skyrocketed her to number one bestselling author and she hasn’t let up since with over 20 novels to her name.
She never sits down to write, instead, she walks and talks into a recorder and lets her computer transcribe her words. Editing is her enemy, but she loves the final results, so she’ll always dig in.
Her one dream is to own and bake in a German style bakery with a cute to-go window for Gelato. In the meantime, she’ll continue to do the thousand other things she loves like teaching, all things outdoors, painting, and gardening—she’s never met a flower, tree, bush or vegetable she doesn’t like—except maybe okra and beets. As long as she’s got a book playing in her ear, she even enjoys weeding. She may be deranged.
She loves to create, but can’t seem to sit still for long, even to read a book. Instead, she listens to books so she can read and create at the same time. She’s a non-stop worker and enjoys every minute of it.
Her most loved creation is her two amazing daughters and wishes they were teens again. She loves to be home, but her husband is a traveler and drags her family around the world, where she finds an endless supply of story ideas, characters, settings, and more often than not, walks away with a suntan or ends up in a cool castle. She is also inspired by the unpredictable teens she teaches. If she is not creating things other than books, you’ll find her snuggled up with the love of her life watching a movie or planning their next party.
Kate is still on the run from the mafia after her escape from New Jersey. She thought it was good times and that her problems were over. No such luck. Kate embarks on another adventure and this time the stakes are even hire and loads of surprises in store. This is another exciting read by this author. This books the perfect YA series, teaching strength thru perseverance, determination and endurance. It’s a wonderful read!
This story had me hooked from the beginning. Cindy Hogan must have done a lot of research to write this book, because it's so detailed about mafia goings-on. The twists and the turns, and the way Kate is so inept, but keeps pushing forward--you can't help but yell in frustration at how dumb she is, but cheer her on at the same time. What a goal--to take down the mafia? Really? Now, I have to read the next book in the series to see how it ends!
