Well, did this surprise me...
It started strong - interesting plot, high tension right away. And being that it's a fairly short read there was pretty much no downtime, without jamming too much action.
But what demolished me was the ending. Brutal and gripping! I loved every moment of it! I read the book in a day and the only reason I'm sorry I did, is that I now want to read more of this story and there isn't.
I am giving it 4 stars because I did find some of the writing lacking. I am no expert in writing in any way, but I could identify lack of fluidity with the dialogues in particular, and some of the exchanges left me a bit confused. Given this is the author's first book, I have no doubt we will see a lot of improvement in future works.
I highly recommend! Though I feel compelled to mention that there is a lot of graphic violence. So if that is something that bothers you, you might want to consider it before reading. Otherwise, plow ahead boldly!
