the writing style is so good, and the character background stories help with so much character development. the dynamics are so easy to follow and enjoyable to read. the book’s a little graphic when it comes to violence so if that’s not your type then this book definitely isn’t for you.

I'm usually hesitant to read Michael Robotham's books when they aren't part of his Joe O'Loughlin series, however, I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I really liked the new main character Cyrus, and Robotham is very talented at writing very real characters, who have very real flaws and weaknesses, as well as strengths. The plot for this one was very interesting, and although somewhat predictable, the writing and the characters more than make up for it, to create a very well worth it read.
