My superpower? I can’t die. You can imagine how much it hurts when they test that out… find herself locked up in Leavenworth—a notorious prison that now holds teens with unusual supernatural abilities.
Behind bars, some are welcoming and others are… not. One group in particular seems determined to make the lives of Phoebe and her new friends as miserable as possible.
They call themselves the Wolf Pack. And they can just stay in jail and rot for all she cares.
Because even though Phoebe’s life before being imprisoned was far from perfect, she wants to get it back. And she will… if they don’t find a way to kill her first.
Regardless, she’s no longer going to stand by and be the rule follower she’s always been.
Look where that got her.

This is my introduction to this author and I’m extremely happy I found her. I was surprised at the ending, and I can’t wait for the rest of the series. Unique, page turner, imaginative, great characters are just a few descriptions that can be put to this book and series.
This was such an interesting concept! The emotions were so real! The betrayal so raw! I am counting the days for the next book!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Disturbing.
A couple of years ago, I read the series Into the Shadows by Karly Kirkpatrick, and Lock Down kept reminding me of those books. If you like those books, this is for you!
Phoebe is doing her best to remain low-profile because any attention will mean that someone could see she’s fending for herself. While she’s a competent sixteen, Phoebe’s still sixteen, and no one is letting her be her own guardian if they find out she’s alone. But the last of her problems is foster care when she dies and resurrects from the dead, ending up in a Supernatural Prison for juveniles. Suddenly, foster care sounds much better–especially when she’s told supernaturals aren’t considered humans.
The Phoenix can’t begin to imagine the awful that happens outside her cell in prison, and the days get dismally worse, even when unimaginably promising things come to her in Leavenworth. Nothing is worth the price she pays there.
Lock Down is a terrifying look at the violation of dehumanized people. Aella Black does a fantastic job of dragging you further and further down a dismaying rabbit hole. The fact that she is giving you a view from a child/young adult’s eyes is more devastating. I couldn’t turn away from the story; Lock Down is a page-turner.
I purchased this book after seeing the blurb for the second book, and I need a little separation before I jump into book two, but I’ll have read it within the next week or two because I must know what happens to Phoenix, Chief, and the posse.
Highly recommend.
Into the Shadows
This review is for the series which I absolutely loved. The books are well-written with fully developed characters, each with their own voice. Each book is action-packed. The author makes you care about the characters and what they are going through. You want the main character and her friends to be victorious. I highly recommend this series. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all.
I loved this! I didn’t want to put it down. The whole concept was beyond crazy, and I just really felt for all the characters, and what they had to go through.
The ending was a surprise twist! I have to read the next one, I need to know what happens now!
This is my introduction to this author and I’m extremely happy I found her. What a read! This story grabbed me and pulled me in from the first page. The characters were wonderful, the story intriguing. Supernaturals with unique abilities and a desire to fight back. I hope to see ” Phoenix ” grow into a strong female character that brings destruction to the SCC. Looking forward to seeing where book 2 takes me. I received an ARC for an honest review.
