"Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything's possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment, you take it all one day at a time."

This book was so good, I read it all in one sitting. Initially found this book because of Dylan is in Trouble, and I'm so glad I picked it up. The book is flawed but still, it's good. I love a good cat and mouse chase. I love Day, I love John, I love Metias. The action, the suspense, the politics... I loved it.

I found the story hard to get into until Day gets arrested. I liked it once it picked up, but not enough to continue the series.

I didn’t like that most of the book takes place with Day imprisoned. I just didn’t find it entertaining

Great read! I found a couple of select scenes were too gory for me but overall it was an enjoyable and intriguing story and likeable characters.
