Boundaries (Scope of Practice Book 1) by Jessica Aiken-Hall – Review by Liz Vrchota

Boundaries by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I didn’t know what to expect with this novel, Boundaries: Scope of Practice Book 1 by Jessica Aiken-Hall. I have never read her work prior to this but the cover, blurb, and teasers sold me on this book pretty darn fast and I am very happy that I decided to delve in. I was thrown for a loop with this one and didn’t know what to think or feel most of the time as I read it. It was a book that managed to take some seriously heavy material and make it readable and relatable for some. I loved how I was so consumed by these words that I found myself devouring this in one sitting. I know for sure I will be back for more in book two as soon as it is available.

This book is a difficult one to review without ruining, in my opinion. I am comfortable giving the smallest tidbits and that is it. We find the main character Valerie as a social worker consumed by the past traumas of herself and others as she works her way through a difficult murder case. The detective that she is paired with on that one will make her question her own boundaries over and over. Will she find the answers she is looking for? Can she stand in her boundaries with conviction or will she find a way to bend the rules? I know this is one that any crime novel junkie will wanna devour soon so if that is your thing this is a book you have to have! I can’t wait to see what we will get next!
