I wonder how Selina would feel about Isley’s behavior in this book?

[Steven Shinder · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bloody in places. And not surprised that Kevin and Walt incorporated Ivy in the story.

[Lirio Dendron · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hard and bloody right from the start, but okay. BUT whenever americans don't know what to write, they write about Nazis. Quite pathetic.
