Publisher's Summary

From the author of the best-selling Jane Yellowrock and Soulwood series comes a tough new heroine who is far more than she seems.

After the Final War, after the appearance of the Bug aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing business from the old scrapyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets that she has guarded for years.

This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.

With dread, Shining realizes: Someone knows who she is. Someone knows what she is guarding. Will she be able to protect the scrapyard? Will she even survive? Or will Shining have to destroy everything she loves to keep her secrets out of the wrong hands?

Everything about this book was awesome. The storyline was incredible and performance was so amazing. I loved each voice for each character as it made it so easy to know who was talking.

Good story line

Not bad story line, hoping to look up author and find a sequel so it must have been a good book!

Another hit for Faith Hunter

Loved this book. Storyline was so different. Main character interesting, another kick arse heroine. can’t wait till the next one comes out. Faith Hunter is now at the top of my favourite authors.

It’s a romp and a good one!

Loved it. From start to “finish” this installment was a joy. As a cat lover, it also built empathy nicely. Thanks for a great “read!”

Great

Really enjoyed this book. The characters are solid and the story well constructed. It’s quite different to Hunters previous books in one way but what is the same is quality realistic dialogue both personal and conversational. Fully recommend.
