Why this must be read:

Author's Summary: Juliette has hidden her family history from Nick for years. Now it's time for the truth to come out. Someone's life may depend on it.

This story gives so much depth to the Juliette character. We get family history, a character study, an in depth look at how devoted she is to Nick and her family at the same time, and her values. And then on top of that, we get to see how well she can kick ass when she's got to save her sister from a blood feud with only a very reluctant Monroe as back up.

I love this interaction so much. For two characters who don't interact that much in canon, they make a wonderful team. The character voices while they're doing their planning and rescuing is so spot on, too.

Overall, this fic demonstrates how Juliette is a strong and independent woman who risks it all for family, love, friendship, and what she believes in. Lionessvalenti couldn't have done a better job.
