Review
I was hired to proofread this book. The only aspects of the story that I influenced were the spelling and grammar. If you feel that my connection to the book makes my review untrustworthy, so be it, but this is my honest review.
This book inspired some very strong emotions in me, mostly hate, and I don't use that word lightly. There was a lot of injustice for Cami, based purely on elements of herself from birth; things that are completely out of her control. In addition to that, The Hunter's Alliance seems to be a rather corrupt organization, and that angers me too. Honestly, I drew a few parallels between the story and actual real life current events, which just left me feeling more anger.
This book added some more intrigue to Cami's life. We learn more about her family life that is kind of sad. That only contributed to my strong emotional response.
In the end, I feel like this book is leading to a major shift in the status quo. I'm sure there will be some big changes on the horizon.
Overall I give Crushed 4.5 out of 5 stars. - Katie
