I love the way this book was written. Atakora does a fantastic job building the suspense and tension while establishing the relationship between characters using different timelines. The characters are unique and personable. I was both intrigued and disturbed by the plot development- in fact, I would describe this book as an emotional rollercoaster. I can’t wait to read more by this author!
