From there, she is picked up by a person from Witness Protection. Along the course of the story, Lydia goes from person to person, her sole goal to find her father. She is betrayed, lied to, threatened, kidnapped, hoodwinked, and much more as she fights against all odds to reunite with her dad and live a normal life.
This book got a 5 out of 5 because it was so good. I finished it in an hour or so, it's not that long, but it's amazing how so much can be packed into so little. This book keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time, as Lydia went to person to person, trying to find the person who is actually on her and her dad's side. There were a lot of plot twists and had a bittersweet ending. In short, I LOVED it!!!
If you like thrillers with a heroine trying to reunite with her father and plot twists, then you'll love this book! I know I did!
