The premise sounds quite interesting. It seems to be a perfect crime fiction.

Thank you for the great review.

Thanks for the Wonderful review. I already liked Gina's character a lot. I can't wait to find out what happens between Gina and Jason. I am also keen to know what happens with Miguel.

Reading the first chapter of this book and then your review both make me curious about reading this book. It sounds like something I'll definitely enjoy so I'm excited that I was able to win it in the giveaway.

What do you do when you find out that the person you are in love with is a convict? And this is the very person who "upgraded" you? I so enjoyed seeing the character of Gina revolving. Thank you for this wonderful read!

I read the sample pages first before your review, and I have to agree that there seemed to be three main characters making up this story, and I thought the author did a good job making them stand on their own and I was easily able to discern who was who. This one might be s but too gritty for me. I did really like Gina’s character though. Thank you for this insightful review as it helped me to determine that maybe this one just isn’t for me.

Gina met her handsome boyfriend at a point when she was very broke not knowing what type of guy he is,at the long run she discovered that the so called boyfriend is a drug dealer. I love this thriller novel

I don't often read thrillers or suspense books, but I'm just so curious about how these three main characters lives are intertwined. Sounds like quite the intense sequence of events. Thanks for your review!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Never judge a book by its cover. Many persons build their relationships based on looks and get disappointed when the persons start showing their true colors. Thank you for your comprehensive review of this book.

I immediately thought of a few people I know who never answer their phones after reading your description. It sounds like you really connected with the book. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks for the review. I am going to add this to my must reads. I love any book that has suspense and involves crime. I can’t wait to read what happens between he three main characters. Even though now I’m going to have to pay extra attention to when no one answers their phones but I’ll have to check it out thank you .

Thank you for a very thorough review, which gives a good feel for the book. After reading the online sample, I don't think I am interested in a book of this type right at the moment. The author does, however, have a very current voice and some interesting facts to convey about the drug trade in the U.S. and the political climate surrounding it at this time.

I'm so happy I won this book on amazon! I love to hear that the process of the DEA and the drug smugglers were accurate and detailed. I love a good book I can connect to! I feel I could relate to Gina in many ways. I can not wait to read the book & share how great it is with friends! The fact it provokes a emotional response it awesome. Your review helped me look past the cover. Thank you!

This seems like an interesting read. I like the idea of meeting someone and not knowing what to expect, only to find out there's a darkness within them like being a ruthless cocaine dealer. And I like that there's character development.
