I liked stories with complex characters even better when they are clever. From reading your review, I think I will like the strategic games. I am interested in seeing the detail the author put into the world of drugs and the criminal justice system. Thank you for a good and detailed review.

What an amazing review. Reviews like this makes you want to read a book in one seating. A crime thriller with a perfect story filled with great characters, action, drugs, excitement, suspense and romance. A must read indeed.

The book seems to the perfect concoction of love and friendship. The plot also talks about drug abuse which is a dark theme. What I liked about the book that it is only 380 pages which means that it must not have dragged unnecessarily. Kudos to the writer!

Oh, so this is a crime/thriller story! Te cover depicts a different story than your review. Like they said, never ever judge a book by its cover. Anyway, the premise of this story is quite interesting so I at least will try to give this a try. Thank you ever so much for your review.

Thank you for your take on this book; my first impression of it was a novel with a fairly thin story line, but after reading the sample on Amazon and then your review, the story clearly evolves into something much deeper. You are full of praise for the plot development and also admit to relating on different levels to the characters which is really what reading is all about. I'm interested in seeing what happens to Gina and so will most likely give this book a try.

This sounds like a really interesting book to read - I like the fact that there is quite a mix of themes in this novel. Thanks for the great review, I think that it is interesting about the fact that you know from the start who the 'baddies' are and who the 'goodies are'. Usually, you have to work this out over time.

From the review, the book seems to be one high on action. Moreover, it is a crime thriller involving suspense. I would love to get into the tales of Bobby, Gina, and Miguel. Thanks for such an insightful review.

Based on the review I don’t think this book is for me. I don’t like to read crime thriller novels. I also don’t enjoy reading about drug usage and physical violence. So while I won’t be reading this book, I think people who want to read about a character who finds their inner strength and like crime thriller will enjoy this book.

I love when an author writes in a deep, knowledgeable manner, due to in depth research. I also appreciate the attention to detail in this book, making it rife with lots of strategically moves. This makes it a ripe choice for analytical minds. How are the lives of Gina, Miguel and Bobby interwoven? I'm itching to find out. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds interesting. I like that it's full of suspense, and keeps you guessing, and a great thriller. The fact that the characters were so entertaining and lively is awesome to hear as well. The thing about the characters not answering their phones is strange to me. It makes me wonder what's behind that. Thanks for your review.
