Review by: Soraida Gallegos on April 10, 2013 :
This is a really great written story, what I liked about this book is that you get to see the whole picture in this world that the writer has created, while you have a main character that the story focuses on, you also learn about other individual characters. These cast members are written so well that it makes you wonder and care not only what they have to gain or lose from the events in the story, but what has happened to them in the past to make them the way they are. As a reader going on this journey with these characters you find out in the book like in life things are not always what they seem, the discovery of this only serves to add more depth to story and begs the question "what's really going on here?". These twist, turns and hidden motives do have a rhyme and reason, what they are I cannot say, you have to read and find out for yourself. You won't regret it.

Review by: Jack Westcott on March 08, 2013 :
This is a solidly written book. I love how the story shifts from person to person. It gives it a movie-like feel, its great. It left me wanting more though.

I typically hate cliffhangers, but this one was different. Although there are some loose ends that are not finished, Most of them are.

The thing I loved about it is the mystery. I found myself reading it over again because when I finished it the first time, my theories on where he was going with the story was shot.

Overall this is a wonderful book that almost everyone could enjoy. Go buy it if you want to have a great book to snuggle up with that has great character development and a well thought out story line and plot.

Two Thumbs Up and 5 Stars!
