For one thing, Jimmy Garcia the main baddie in this story has a soft spot for his sister; I'm more used to villains that are so bad that they seem inhuman. But this book manages to create a villain that is a drug lord, but as I now and then feel for because how much he loves his sister and how much she loves him. And, that my friends make it hard to read because at the same time he is the evil drug lord that killed Superstition Davis husband in cold blood. And, let's face it he isn't a good man. It's just while I read I could see other sides of him that showed him to be a caring brother. And, that makes him so human, he has chosen a path in life with violence and death and that will in the end as it usually does claim him too. That felt real. I dislike reading about villains that are so flat when it comes to their characters that they seem to be molded at out the same mold at the villain factory. They are not human, they are a cliché.
But anyway, then we have Superchick Superstition Davis and I liked her, she is a tough woman, who is hell bent on revenging her husband. But she is the one in the story that seems a bit too perfect, to touch to good with fighting. She is the James Bond of the story, whatever you throw at her, she will come out victorious. That can be too much sometimes, even for me. And, also it took 80% of the book to know what happened to her twins, they are mentioned through the book several times and frankly, it became a bit annoying to wait for it to be revealed why they died. I'm all for holding in information but come one. Sooner or later the waiting just becomes a bit too much.
The story is fast-paced as I wrote before, just as an action book should be. Short chapters and everything that makes you read on because “you know just one more chapter”. But I found it a bit confusing in the beginning because every short chapter introduced some new characters and it felt that they were quite many and as the chapters are short you really didn't have the time to get to know anyone before it was time to shift to the next character or let's jump to the past. It took a while for me to really get a hang on it, but I still had a bit of a problem reading the book because of all the abrupt character changes. I love short chapters, but sometimes it just gets a bit too much and the flow of the story gets interrupted a bit too often.
But it's not at all bad, these are just the things that I had problems with and made me not being able to give a higher rating. I still found the book to be enjoyable to read and I would like to read more about Superstition “Sue” Davis especially after that particularly ending.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher for a blog tour at TLC Book Tours.… (plus d'informations)
