Netherlands, 1940
As
bombs fall across Europe, fourteen-year-old Lien Vinke fears that the
reality of war is inescapable. Though she lives a quiet life with her
mother and older sister, Elif, in their small town of Haarlem, they are
no strangers to heartache, having recently suffered an immeasurable
loss. And when the Nazis invade the Netherlands, joining the Dutch
resistance with Elif offers just the atonement Lien craves.
Trained
to shoot by their late father, the sisters are deadly wolves in sheep’s
clothing. They soon find themselves entrenched in the underground
movement, forging friendships with the other young recruits, and Lien
even discovers a kindred spirit in a boy named Charlie. But in wartime,
emotional attachments are a liability she can’t afford, especially when a
deeply personal mission jeopardizes everything she holds dear—her
friendships, her family, and her one shot at redemption.

What we take for granted! This is a page turning read, and we put faces to those who are willing to give everything for freedom and justice. A WWII story set in the Netherlands, and young people, still in school, but stepping up to fight the evil that has invaded their country.
I guess we never know if we are capable to doing what these young patriots did in the war effort, but because of their actions, we know how history played out.
This read was a gift, tough at times, but we need to not forget what happened, and give faces to those who stepped up. At times you will have your heart in your throat, and also found myself holding my breath, will these now friends all survive?
We are also gifted with an epilogue!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Mira, and was not required to give a positive review.
