Just wow!
Great read, worth more than the .99 I paid. I love to read and I will read almost anything I can get my hands on. Sometimes that leaves me with big disappointment, but NOT this time! I really enjoyed this book, the characters are well developed, and it kept me on the edge of my seat, couldn't put it down! I can't wait for the next one to come out!
