Really enjoyed all the references to OKC locations. Didn’t seem completely realistic, but still worth the read.

This book was great! I thought there was some gratuitous sexual content which I found unnecessary, but the story was well developed and the characters were interesting. This is the first time I have read this author and I would definitely read him again!

I fell in love with this book!
It as a enticing thriller that you just can't put down!
David Kent does a wonderful job at displaying the characters and their many emotions and situations in general.

Boring, not a page-turner. I gave up just before the end.

Read this several years ago and was just reminded of it. I remember as it being above average.
