First Lines
"Grapeland, Texas. 1972.
Robin Peterson always knew when there were football games. Her parents' brick house stood across from the school, where only a field of wildflowers separated her front yard from the lights and the noise of Grapeland High. On Friday nights, she could hear the chants of the cheerleaders from her bedroom window.
'Are you ready?'
No.
'I said, are you ready?'
Still no.
Robin would play her music loudly to drown out the noise, but That accompanying sound track of Texas life always filtered through — the stomps of the crowd vibrating down from the stands, the smell of burnt hot dogs wrinkling her nose. She stared defensively back toward the school as the melodic strains of 'Man in Black' by Johnny Cash spun on the record player."
Synopsis:
Moxie meets Female of the Species in this powerful, thrilling, and deeply resonant novel about a secret society of girls who plot revenge on the men who hurt them.
The enigmatic Black Coats have been exacting vengeance on men who have hurt girls and women for years. The killer of Thea's cousin went free, and Thea has just received an invitation to join the Black Coats' balancings—acts of revenge meant to teach a lesson. Justice for Natalie has never felt so close.
But as the balancings escalate in brutality, Thea’s clear-cut mission begins to unravel and she must decide just how far she is willing to go for justice.
Because when the line between justice and revenge is paper thin, it’s hard not to get cut.
"I’ve begun to think that scars can’t be erased with more scars."
