I really enjoyed this book. Yes I did get lost a few times where the story sort of slowed down but it then picked up again each time. There has been a few people complain about the
storm that takes place saying it went on for too many chapters, but honestly I feel it was just enough or maybe just a little more could have been said
I love the result at the end I did have my guesses. I won't spoil this on you. I would have loved to have seen a little bit more chemistry between Arent and Sara but at the author says in the end of the book  letter from the author he didn't want it to turn into a story all about them, or Arent being the sexy bodyguard kind of character. But has said that if you wish to do so then that is what you shall have.  
All in all I do recommend this book a adventure to read, there are a few gruesome scenes taking place in the book. But nothing over the top.
