“They have an army now at their disposal and they won’t hesitate to use it. Anyone can make a tracking chip. But an implanted chip that controls you? That’s something else entirely…”
Skyla Rivera’s good at three things. Stealing. Not getting caught. And surviving. That’s all she knows, it’s all she needs… Or it was.
The new punishment replacing the usual death penalty for crimes was supposed to be simple. A tracking chip with a poison vial, the poison activated if any rules were breached. It let the victim live, albeit with some restrictions. But the truth of what the implanted chips really are sends Skyla’s life plummeting down a deep hole of lies, each truth revealed shining light on how deep she’s really fallen into the web of fabrications.
And although a steady pattern has emerged in her life, Skyla’s desire for love and someone to rely on has her unknowingly falling deeper into the hole made of deceits and exposing truths. Because sometimes the people who we trust the most are the ones who break us the worst.
