After reading Sins & Needles I was so disenchanted I put this one on the back burner for a few months, even though unlike both Cam & Ellie, Javier intrigued me. I'm glad I decided to finally indulge that intrigue, because I totally fell in love with the suave assassin and liked "Eden" much better than the bitter and wishy-washy Ellie. 
 Even with the ending I still like Javier better than any other character in this series, and because of that I will be reading Shooting Scars and be FIRMLY Team Javier.
