Review:
This is the second novella of the series. We go back to Thurmond rehabilitation camp with Sam, Ruby's friend before she accidentally wiped her memory.
This is darkest novel of the series so far. We didn't really see what life was at the camps when Ruby escaped. How human beings can do evil things under certain circumstances. Sam lives goes on in the camp. It isn't easy since she has to deal with a cruel PSF guard harassing her. Then some new guards show up. They are Reds, the most dangerous PSI. They have been brainwashed, they only exist now to serve. No emotions, no thoughts.
All expect Lucas, Sam's childhood friend. He managed to resist, deceived them so they wouldn't break him. But he risks everything to save Sam.
Sam and Lucas soon become interesting characters and.... SPOILER....my heart broke when they managed to destroy Lucas.
