Dark plot and repulsive characters
The writer barely exposes enough detail to keep the reader going until the last page. Great story, with a very realistic but ugly plot. As the antagonists, Brint and Grey were some of the most repulsive characters ever, with their hidden motives.

Ending was confusing at first...
At first, the ending was hard to piece together. Then after thinking about it and reviewing the story, I was able to make sense of this stunning thriller.
