Lumikki Andersson is what many might describe as a loner. She purposely stays out of other people's business and problems. To do otherwise will just lead to trouble that she knows she doesn't need. But when she ends up in the middle of a life-or-death situation that three careless classmates stumbled into, she finds she has no choice but to see it through to the end. And the danger runs deeper than any of them can even imagine...

The overall story arc here is interesting. Action starts right away and pulls the reader into the world of these characters. And it's a plot that I know I found I wanted to see to the end from the first few pages. But there are a few things that just didn't quite settle for me. First, Lumikki is just a high school student but she acts like a highly-trained super agent at times, which I found difficult to accept. Second, the resolution seems a bit too tidy and abrupt for such a complicated story. But it is an entertaining and interesting read. It's still a page turner even with those reservations. So I'd suggest giving it a read if you like suspense.
