(4) YA In order to survive their violent Washington, DC, neighborhood, Blaise and her friends join a notorious local gang. At first she revels in the new sense of belonging and respect, but the risk escalates when the gang leader starts using Blaise's attractiveness as bait for his enemies. The gritty story sometimes falls into melodrama, but Blaise narrates with vivid urban imagery.
