"This violent world in which teenage girl gangs are menacing and dangerous is gripping. I really wanted to find out who would survive."

"This story is very well thought out with believable characters and situations. Gabel does a great job drawing us into the life that many of us know nothing about."*

"Gabel's detail-rich world of gang culture was a fascinating read. The story will draw you in and the characters will keep you to the surprising end."
