Special thanks to the author & @crookedlanebooks for my gifted copy!!!

This is book 2 in A Wrongful Conviction series which both can be read as a standalone. Absolutely loved this one will definitely go back and read the first book. It was literally like watching a movie while reading think Just Mercy or the movie Marshall. 

Inspired by true wrongful conviction cases Liza Brown works for a free nonprofit organization that helps free those wrongfully imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit. Liza’s fight for justice transpired after her father was wrongfully convicted and she couldn’t save him before he was sentenced to death. 

When she receives a letter from Moses King a man convicted of a brutal crime he has proof of his innocence. Liza was skeptical on helping since he wasn’t sentenced to life or death in prison like other clients. When she learned he knew her father her feelings changed and she wanted to help Moses any way she could. 

The reason for Moses conviction was WILD asf!!! A woman by the name of Claudette Cooper accused Moses of being her attacker solely based off a dream she had. She was raped and beaten so badly that she wasn’t able to identify who did this to her. The fact the court allowed her statement to be enough to prosecute was absolutely disgusting. I get she wanted justice and so did they but the judicial system failed to give her that and imprisoned a man who didn’t deserve the treatment he was given. Imagine losing years of your life because of a DREAM . . . . 

Overall, read the book ya’ll this was really good. The pacing in the beginning is a tad slow but I beg that you push through. Oh and the ending was NOT what I expected because Moses didn’t actually get the justice he deserved. If you’ve ever seen the show Reasonable Doubt Moses situation was kind of similar to the first episode.
