Description of  One Word Kill (Impossible Times Book 1)

Elton and Mia represent poverty and limited choices. His family fled political violence in Madagascar to face hardship and racism in London. Her gang-banger brother is in prison and her mother is an alcoholic. They're street smart and tougher than their more sheltered friends, but the dangers they face are greater. The friends are teens and they must figure out who they can trust and what they want from life and what they're willing to sacrifice to get it. They have three big advantages. They're all intelligent and they have each other's backs. And D&D isn't just a kid's game, but experience in dealing with danger. Before the night is over, they will have faced plenty of that and three people will be dead. This book is beautifully well written. The young people are fascinating as they negotiate the dangerous territory between being a child and being an adult. I couldn't put this story down and I'm already looking forward to the next volume in the series.
