My recommendation is to not read this until book 2 comes out. It's very good, but the ending is deeply frustrating.
Also, Nina is annoyingly stupid at times. It would have been so easy to tell Patrick the truth when she told him about her mother being held hostage but she didn't and her reasoning was extremely flimsy. So much of the conflict of this book was stuff that she could very easily have avoided. Never a fan of making the FMC play stupid in order to forward the plot. You could have still gotten to the same place plot wise with Polly being the traitor without Nina being so infuriatingly short sighted. Really hope she gets better in book 2.
