I could feel the nerves in my stomach when he was opening the crypt and knew it wouldn’t be there. I literally felt emotion.Nervousness. I hate that I feel for the guy. I do.

Paullina is so smart and makes everything so interesting and not like she’s an author but like she’s retelling a true story. I truly believe in her characters. She creates people as opposed to describing them. Again the questions the people ask I want to ask! The Saints spit is amazing and what it consists of “kaolin clay,sphagnum moss,wood ash,dried oxblood,copper sulphate,saltpeter” amazing!

Oh it’s good! I’m invested in the team, the men, the mission, the plot and the story so far.

So far it’s like watching a great action war movie. Not much love or romance but it’s so entertaining. Her characters are so cool and real and adult.
