You won't know I'm gone
Kristen Orlando
- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing around Reagan’s reasons for seeking revenge and her effort to prove herself. Invite your reader to distinguish what she wants from what the story presents as a worthwhile choice.
- Themes
- Revenge and justice: Reagan wants to become a Black Angel so she can find Santino Torres, whom she blames for her mother’s death. The revenge motive is explicit, but it is not clear whether the story endorses it, challenges it, or treats it in another way.
- Identity and belonging: At the compound Reagan gets a chance to be herself without aliases or disguises, while Luke’s arrival leaves her torn between who she was and who she wants to be. The identity conflict is clearly part of the setup, but its treatment and outcome are unknown.
- Worth knowing
- The plot involves kidnapped parents, a mother’s killing, and Reagan’s stated wish for revenge. Consider whether these themes suit your reader, particularly if loss or harm may be difficult topics for them.
