I wasn't sure I was going to make it through this one in the first half  but I'm glad I didn't put it down in the stack of, "maaaybe I'll come back to you" books. The final 3rd had me on edge and staying up late to finish it. 

For a debut, I'm not mad at it, I'm very interested to see where the author goes with this series.
