I picked this book up a few years ago on sale at B&N and never got around to reading it. I finally picked it up last night and in glad I did! Solid twist, interesting plot and story. 

It got a little bit confusing at times (especially after the twist) so I had to go back and make sure I was understanding things right but it was good and worth the read!
