The enigmatic Black Coats have been
exacting vengeance on men who have hurt girls and women for years.
But as the balancings escalate in
brutality, Thea’s clear-cut mission begins to unravel and she must decide just
how far she is willing to go for justice.
Because when the line between
justice and revenge is paper thin, it’s hard not to get cut.

“The Black Coats provide[s] pure satisfaction with the idea of fighting back against misogyny and sexism… a relevant read in the #metoo era.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)
