This is one of those audiobooks you can listen to at 1.75 or even 2x speed and not be annoyed with it which was good because I desperately wanted to know what the twist would be.

I liked this book and look forward to continuing with the series. This story had many twists and turns and I could not really predict the outcome. My major gripe in the story was there was not one likable character. Not. One.  I also felt the ending was a bit rushed and seemed pretty unrealistic.
