With Samuel left as Khruvina’s only survivor, he joins the anti-Nazi resistance group known as the Black Foxes. Determined to avenge his family, he swears to hunt down and destroy Viktor Naden. Samuel’s mission of vengeance, however, is put on hold when he is forced to escort a Jewish refugee to a safehouse operated by Black Fox Ten, a high-ranked member of the resistance.

REVIEW:

This book was hard to put down but emotionally engaged me from the first page. I have never read this author before but it was something I enjoyed. For those that have family who have been through the Holocause, this book will make you think about the effects it had on people in a way that can be considered supporting and truthful. This is a book that I highly recommend to readers who love historical fiction.

There was a slight issue I had with this book, other than the fact that I loved it. It took me just a small amount of time to figure out who was who. This is a continuation of "Fractured" but it can be read as a standalone. It didn't take me long to sort through the tiniest amount of confusion I had and that shouldn't stop other readers. I just wish I had read "Fractured" beforehand to really appreciate and understand this author more. But I will read the other works from this author and look forward to her future books.
