Goodreads asked Michelle Ian:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Michelle Ian I met my characters first. Got to know them and discovered one had a terrible secret. A Cobra Mustang features heavily in this story and connects the protagonist and the antagonist. I asked myself, how would this car still connect them 13 years after said horrible event? I next thought of this line...Time passed in a series of calculated but undeniable risks, justified by a single objective: revenge. I then wound these characters up and released them into the wild. I followed them around and wrote down everything they thought and did.
