When I started this, I was expecting a contemporary or dystopian about a group of girls who were slaves. It turns out to be more of a Western infused dystopia where the Good Luck Girls are girls sold to whorehouses by their families who need the coin.

Overall I liked this story and look forward to the sequel, though I really wish there had been a little more development between certain characters and places I won't mention here because spoilers. Hopefully, some of these will be addressed in the next book. It has a lot of heartache and a lot of empowering moments, and it was clear that Charlotte Nicole Davis had done a lot of research into the various aspects of victimology, abuse, PTSD, slavery and the western frontier, but I just feel that at points there really lacked a punch where there should have been one and others where the focus was on the wrong thing.
