I received an advance review audiobook for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you Madison Lawson and iRead Book Tours. I'm excited to be a part of this tour.

I’m not going to lie, the premise of this one had me hooked! Imagine it’s legal to commit one murder in your lifetime if you register the victim and accomplish the kill within fourteen days. When Lynell Mize stands in line to Register the man who abused her as a child, she’s shocked to hear a stranger Register her to be killed. With her mind blown, Lynell wants to know who wants to kill her and why. Desperate to survive the next two weeks, she finds out multiple people have Registered her.

The book is interesting. Set in the US and a dystopia future in which the justice system has changed and replaced with ‘The Registration” which citizens are allowed to register one person to legally kill without ramifications.

The book is captivating, powerful, and full of suspense. As Lynell goes on the run, she’s captured by people who think she has the information they need. They’ll use torture if necessary. Coincidentally her ex-husband enters to save the day but leaves Lynell wondering who she can trust.

The book is also well written, full of adventure, and realistic. I could see this type of future happening. Maybe not in the US but somewhere. I highly recommend this book; it’ll keep you engaged from start to finish while wanting more! 

Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
