Wow. That was the first word that came out of my mouth when I finished this book yesterday evening on my evening break. The second phrase was "Holy Toledo that was intense!" Both of which are dead-on accurate.
This was a pretty great read! I fell in love with the characters almost immediately. Chase is a great guy. He's well-rounded and complex. He's had a lot of crap happen in his life, but he seems fairly well-adjusted. Especially for suddenly having to deal with the fact that his mother wasn't really dead, but now she is; his father's alive and apparently in trouble; and his grandmother doesn't seem to be in a hurry to tell him anything about these things.
This story moved along at a pace between steady and fast. It was fast-paced, but not so fast that you couldn't follow the story line and/or got lost in the details. I think I described it to my mom as "a cliff-hanger on every other page". That was a slight exaggeration, but not by much! The action in this book really keeps the story hopping!
I thought the ending was terrific. Things worked out the way they were supposed to and you got the feeling that all the major players were going to be alright after their run-in with the villains.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good suspenseful thriller that doesn't have a lot of gruesome, violent scenes! Buy it. Read it. Enjoy it!
