A well-written romantic-suspense novel. Although, the love story most common in Ms. Sala's books took a bit of a back seat in this story it was still a page-turner. I found some points in it a little gruesome but it made the plot more realistic in a sense.Ms. Sala's characters are more believable. She presents the human nature at its best and worst as shown in Wes and Ally. Both have major physical and emotional flaws, but at the same time Ms. Sala shows that flaws could be surmounted with endurance.
