This book pulls you in from the first word and does not let go until the end leaving you in desperate need of more. Along the way you are met with characters so well constructed that you could swear they were all real and right there with you. It is non-stop but not in a such a way as to leave you exhausted by constant action or angst. Bracken is evidently a talented story teller and she has forged a story with the perfect amount of mystery, suspense, emotion, and adventure. You will not regret trying this book out.
