Second book of the trilogy A Mind To Kill. Cassie is finally getting the life she always wanted, school, work, bills. She's her own person, she doesn't need to take orders any longer, at least that's what she hoped. She wants her old life a secret, and school, and working will be a good way for her to forget, it'll also make her seem normal. But she knows she can't be normal with Anjelica out there, the murderer, the torturer, the women who killed her friend, and for that, no one is safe. She knows she needs to protect her boyfriend Spencer, her best friend Cody, her friend Violet, and her father. But how can you protect so many others, when you can't even protect yourself?
After she tragically loses her mother, Cassie turns to street fighting-but she soon learns that the biggest fights happen outside the ring.
