False Start Book Description:
No one outskates Cat Harvey.
Hips like steel and mean blocks have set her apart as the ultimate weapon for the Devil’s Dames Roller Derby league.
A false start–a misstep, is all it takes to blow up her carefully curated life and shove her into the back burner of the squad she’s dedicated her all to.
Being replaced wasn’t part of the plan; especially by a cocky little has-been in a braid and torn pantyhose.
Hate.
Loathing.
Addiction.
They’re the only feelings that can bring a skater like Cat to her knees.
The fine line between love and hatred can be crushed, snorted or injected.
But it can’t be ignored.

False Start Review:
Nia never thought she’d be back in Devil Town, yet here she is back at her old stomping grounds, Skateland. Looking for the one person who felt like family, Nia battles with addiction after finding out they passed away several months ago from cancer. False Start follows Nia as she hits her lowest lows and finds people who truly care for her as she struggles to start over.
Once again, Santana does a fabulous job writing a well-developed story with relatable characters you want to support and love through their hardships. My heart broke time and time again, but the uplifting HEA made all the pain worth it.
False Start is perfect for readers who enjoy a sapphic love story, kicka$$ roller derby babes, and a heartwrenching story about the struggles of addiction and loving someone with an addiction.
Thank you to Santana Knox for the ARC.
