The book is enjoyable. The sarcasm and cynicism of Sami Kierce worked really well. The caveats I came across came in the form of logic building. Raymond holding back information till the very end made little sense to me (maybe for an added dramatic e ...more

It is a good book. Have I read thrillers with thicker plots? Yes. That is not where this book shines. This book embodies the emotions of a mother and the lengths she would go to protect her children. Did I enjoy the book? Very much.
