Magnolia is Penelope's dead brother's girlfriend and fellow teen member of the black-market organ-trade Family. Maggie attempts to fight the Organ Act (hoping to one day run the Family), but she's torn when she falls for an enemy in need of a transplant. This sequel (Hold Me like a Breath) is less crime drama and more love story; political intrigue acts mostly as next-installment buildup.
