I was looking forward to this book for a while but unfortunately it wasn't for me.
From reading the synopsis I thought it the story would be one of hunting and survival Katniss Stylee using the bare essentials scavenged from the land. I actually think this was really misleading as it reality Angel finds people to take her in and help up out. Yes I know she is only 14 and actually more realistic that this would happen but it certainly wasn't as exciting.
I also found the police to be an odd force in this one. They are confronted with a girl who tells them such a story as Angel does they they don't help her even if it were to the point of putting into some kind of care.
All in all this wasn't the book I expected and sadly didn't do it for me
