Another great story by this author hence the 5 stars. Who is chasing who as the twist and turns of the story unfold. Who survived you will have to read the book to find out.
It was a fun read. But I struggled with a plot that never, ever changed. I would have expected it, and tried to track to make sure it would,but failed.
