You ever have one of those books that you keep putting off starting? This is one of those for me. Not because I didn't think I'd like it. To quote Paul from the New Testament, "May it never be!" But because I knew once I started, I wouldn't be able to stop. And I wouldn't be able to read it for the first time again. THAT'S why I kept putting it off. Was I wrong? NOPE. 

I will admit that there was so much tension in the first part of the book that I had to take a LOT of breaks. But then the second part started, and I couldn't. put. it. down. There were a couple of mind-blowing twists and my mouth literally dropped open at one of them. 

Oh, to be able to read this again for the first time!
