Haunted by a past she didn’t choose. Desperate for a future she can redeem.
Three years ago, teen assassin Emily Brelin escaped the rogue general who trained her. She fled across the globe to Golden City, New York, where she met a professor who offered a new start. The professor adopted her and kept her location and genetic enhancements a secret.
But now Emily’s murky past is about to catch up with her.
When the professor dies, her will names Detective Victoria Tacket as the new guardian. Emily worries her secrets will be exposed, and she fears the general will kill anyone to recapture her. So rather than risk the detective’s life, she plans to run away.
Scarred by loss. Driven to protect.
Detective Vick Tacket is shocked when she learns her best friend has died. She’s even more stunned when she learns her friend had a hidden dependent and named Vick—a single woman with no maternal interest—as the girl’s guardian. Convinced she’d be a terrible mother, Vick plans to decline guardianship, until the teen disappears.
Vick scours the streets of Golden City, searching for Emily—but what she discovers threatens both their lives.

Summary
From: Susan Faloon
Book Title: Out of the Shadow
Book Author: Emma Carrie
What do you like about this book:
I felt sorry for, and was intrigued by, the main character Emily Brelin right away. The teenager is full of secrets. Even though she is in danger Emily believes God may have brought her to this point in life She loses her friend and guardian, Dr. Jennifer Brelin, and is terrified of being found by General Buschnocov who she escaped from in the past. Dr. Brelin has chosen homicide detective Victoria Tacket to assume her place as guardian for Emily. There's a specific reason why too. The book has intrigue, drama and tension as suspense builds. This is part one of a series so this is not a stand alone story.
This was an excellent read in my opinion. I'd recommend it for preteens to adults who like a science fiction twist and dimensional characters. I can imagine all kinds of possibilities as the series continues forward and I look forward to reading it.
I received a copy of the book from the author. This is my own unbiased opinion about it.
