I was glad to see that the story picked back up and ran quickly. I was worried that when I started it, it wouldn't have as many twists. It was fairly quick with the action and the cast of characters were awesome. One of the really good things about this book is, it brings a cause to light that's not always talked about. When people think of the word/action "rape" it's usually where a victim is a woman. In this case, it didn't. It can take any psychopath to be that way. With Roth being an "un-likely" victim so to speak, it shows a vulnerability that may not have been. Yes, here's this strong, brave man, but he suffered at the hands of another. He had to overcome so much. Just as much as she did. I'll be honest and say some of it bothered me, and it can be a trigger for some. Each character has such a strong presence as well. I loved how it ended though. It left it open for the next one to come on through. I would read it again.

Warning: If you have triggers set off by violence, sex, and blood, be cautionary if you choose to read it.
