This one is going to be really hard to review without spoilering. Cole's writing is impeccable, and the speed of the story just keeps increasing, accelerating towards a satisfying finale that brings all the threads that have been spun throughout together. Very difficult to put down, do not try to read this when you've got limited time - you will be hugely disappointed whenever you're not buried in this story.
