What a book! What a ride! Up and down I don't know how many times, I thought for sure that things were going to turn out one way when they turned out very different.
Great characters as always, I feel Mr. Box writes pretty accurately what broad range of people you encounter on a day-to-day basis all with different beliefs, hopes and dreams. Governor Rulon I can never be sure about book to book but the guy certainly has grown on me and become one of my favorites up there with the Picketts and Nate.

When, through the whole book, they're looking for and hoping that April is alive and will be with them again only to reveal that the girl they thought was April all along was someone else entirely. OOOOH! Then to reveal that April is in fact alive and has been for years! And to reunite them right at the very end, what a payoff and cliff-hanger all in one!Great characters as always, I feel Mr. Box writes pretty accurately what broad range of people you encounter on a day-to-day basis all with different beliefs, hopes and dreams.
