Another YA suspense thriller by Tamara Hart Heiner! ALTERCATION is the sequel to PERILOUS.
“These books are riveting! I couldn’t put either of them down once I’d started, and this is a series where the sequel is even better than the first book.” ~ Shannon O’Donnell, Book Dreaming
The FBI promises Jacinta Rivera and her friends that they are safe. Jaci wants desperately to believe them but weeks of hiding from their kidnapper, alias "The Hand", have left her wary. Hidden from the public eye in an FBI safe house, Jaci must reconcile both her father's mysterious disappearance and the murder of her best friend. A betrayal lands Jaci back in the grasp of The Hand, shattering her ability to trust, and leaving her to wonder if she will ever piece together her broken life.
