What you may enjoy:

Good writing with an exciting story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. There is not a dull moment in the book. Equal parts thrilling and horrifying.  

What you may NOT enjoy:

There is an unnecessarily large amount of language throughout the book. Some of the violence is disgustingly graphic. Littered with typos.
