Blacklisted centers around an ordinary girl named Camille with a huge crush on Erik, who goes to her high school. She and her best friend sneak into a nightclub that they heard he was going to be. Erik isn't happy to see her because he's involved with drugs, and he needs to lose the tail of A.I.R. agents watching him. Unfortunately Camille proves to be more resourceful than he expected. Erik has a reason for why he's doing what he does, and he doesn't want to involve an innocent, but her actions means A.I.R is now after them both. This was an interesting story because it looked at the situation from a different angle - where A.I.R. and laws that condemn the guilty can also condemn the innocent at the same time. In this story the actions of A.I.R. were bullheaded from this point of view. An interesting point and written nicely, but I preferred Red Handed, the book previous to this one (though you don't have to read them in that order). I think my main issue was that I found Camille to be silly from the beginning for doggedly pursuing Erik, and I just couldn't shake this view of her as foolish and impulsive. Even when she continued to trust and believe Erik, I thought - in real life this would be a parent's nightmare - their daughter romanticizing a drug dealer. In real life he wouldn't really be a good guy. This book also tied up really quickly and easily in the last few pages which I had real trouble with as well. P.S. This book is for mature teen readers: there are sexual situations.
