I really don’t know how to feel about this book as a whole. At the beginning I enjoyed it and I felt that the plot was interesting. However, I felt the end was rushed? <The last 10% of the book is where we meet the villain and honestly is underwhelming. I know this is a set up for another book but I was really ready for Des to meet his match. Not just blow up the guy as if he wasn’t dangerous at all??? > 
Anyway, overall I enjoyed the writing and the initial plot.
