My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I picked up the book because the blurb intrigued me. Unfortunately, the story wasn’t what I hoped it would be. It starts out right in the middle of the action and then it sort of fizzles out in the middle, causing the story to drag. I felt like there were too many pieces of storyline going and none of them wrapped up with a bang the way you would expect in a thriller.

You want to feel bad for Troy because of what he’s gone through, but the more you read about how he handles things, the less you like him. Really, none of the characters in this book are likable at all… maybe that’s the point, but usually in a dark story, I can find one character that I at least feel something for. I guess there was really no contrast between the main characters. They’re all dark and have issues, so they all feel the same. It’s very heavy with nothing to break it up.

However, if you like a myriad of heavily detailed story lines and a cast of only dark characters, this might be the read for you.
