Great First Novel

I don't normally review books and you'll see by the quality of this review, but don't let that reflect on the author.

Story: The story progression in the book was well formed and didn't have any gaps. I didn't find myself in a position of how did I get here.

Character Development: I think the character development was great. The primary characters were well developed and the author didn't go overboard on the secondary characters. I also think the perspective changes were well done. That comment needs explaining, I didn't find my self in a position were I had to bear through it.

Predictability: I found this book had just the right amount of plot twists without going overboard. It kept me interested to the very end.

Ok that was the clinical, here's the the down an dirty. I really liked the it, it's one of those books that has you rooting for the bad guy. I can't wait for the next one.

In Depth Details and Smart Story...

From start to end. Great story, different take, narration grew on me...Worth a credit. I gave 4 stars because the whole time you invest rooting for this guy and...well you read let me know if I am wrong!
