But it doesn't take long for them to realize that there is much more to the case than meets the eye. As they venture deep into a sinister world of human trafficking, Avery and Jackson are taken to the very edge of their abilities--and their hearts.

(Thanks Chantel for challenging me to read this!)
4.5 stars.
It took me only a couple chapters to connect with these characters. Now I can hardly wait to grab the other two books of the series and devour them, especially after I read the synopses on them!! I really enjoyed the author's style and felt she really nailed the idea of Atlanta, since I lived there for three and a half years.
Harris tackles the issue of human trafficking, something I'm deeply concerned about. The scenario was very realistic; I actually knew someone from an average middle-class neighborhood who was only one street over from a major trafficking ring that got busted while I lived there (and the only thing the neighbors noticed amiss was that the family had regular company who often played their car music a little loud. No one ever dreamed there were several dozen girls in the basement.)
The mystery was well plotted, layered, and difficult to guess the end of. I also really liked that the two characters were already dating when the story started, so there weren't a lot of distracting zings of early attraction. Refreshing difference. Definitely recommended!
