While it was well written with depth it was not to my taste.
Georgina was quite the intense, interesting main character and she had a loyal crew. I will give the author credit for that. There was a lot of action but it was also way darker than I expected. It was filled with gory details, which I don't enjoy. The people were interesting but the violence was a bit too much for me.
I also have to say I didn't like the way the story ended although it was a unexpected twist. There is also another one when it comes to Georgina's close friend (and sometimes sidekick) Charlotte and her dangerous nephew, Edward. That one came out of left field and I didn't see it coming. It might even lead to more of a story but I think it's one I would pass on.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy from Netgalley and these are my own thoughts concerning it.
