I really enjoyed reading this book and finished it in one sitting. It was funny and compelling, and had me tense and unable to stop reading. The suspense builds quickly and I found myself anxious to see how everything would play out at the end. I fell in love with every main character and was really rooting for Daniel the entire time. It was a quick read but very well done.

Easy breezy football season read. It's clear that the author cares so much for Athens and UGA, and that really made me happy. The mystery/thriller aspect is certainly there, but most of the book focuses on the relationships between the characters and the protagonist's life. Nothing fancy, but just what I needed.
