City of Saints and Theives by Natalie C. Anderson
What's it about?
With revenge always on her mind, Tina spends the next four years surviving on the streets alone, working as a master thief for the Goondas, Sangui City’s local gang. It’s a job for the Goondas that finally brings Tina back to the Greyhill estate, giving her the chance for vengeance she’s been waiting for. But as soon as she steps inside the lavish home, she’s overtaken by the pain of old wounds and the pull of past friendships, setting into motion a dangerous cascade of events that could, at any moment, cost Tina her life. But finally uncovering the incredible truth about who killed her mother—and why—keeps her holding on in this fast-paced nail-biting thriller.
My Thoughts:
This book was absolute perfection. If I had to give one reason why you NEED to read this book, it's because it was inspired by real life refugee stories that the author spun into her own thriller.
I honestly hadn’t heard anything about this book until I went to a book signing that Natalie was part of. She gave her “elevator pitch” of her book, and I knew I was going to be obsessed with this book, and I was right.
I flew through this book because of how captivating the storyline was, but also because of the knowledge I was able to pick up from reading such a diverse story.
