This was an easy story to get hooked on. After reading the ending I felt like I should have seen it coming, but I truthfully did not!

This book was read in one sitting, addictive reading.  There were a couple of things that niggled me and I guessed the ending at around the 70% mark, but still a thrill of a ride :)
