Stand Your Ground by A. J. Ullman – Review by Vanessa Watts
Stand Your Ground by A.J. Ullman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I must start this review by saying not everything is as it seems. We all have our own versions of what happens to us but often everything ends up being not fully ensconced in truth.
This book starts out with Cady, our main character, riding home after a dinner to evaluate who to make a partner at the law firm. When she enters the basketball court, and her life is threatened by Mingo to which she must defend herself with lethal force to survive. Everything seems black and white at first it should be a successful stand your ground defense. However, we come to realize that not everything is as it seems as Cady’s past acts come to light, and more videos and pictures are released from that night. Slowly throughout this book the truth unravels like a ball of yarn and we’re left riding this rollercoaster that you just can’t get off because you must know what happens next. Is there such thing as a bad hero? Can someone do something bad but be forgiven because it is for the right cause? These are some questions you just might be asking yourself by the end of this book. The only thing I can add is that this is one book that will leave you on the edge of your seat unable to predict what comes next, or how the other shoe will drop!
