This book was dark but soo engaging i couldn't put the bitch down. The villains were so evil and the heros so sympathetic you couldn't help but root for them. There were times I forgot I was reading a book and the main character cant die on page 200 if there's 300 pages left cause then what would the rest of the book be? Lol
