I loved this book, and would have given it five stars, which I rarely do, if it wasn't for a few things that I will shortly mention. But first, the good parts: the writing was strong and almost seamless. I am saying almost, because it faltered towards the end. And what a great story! Not very sophisticated if I think of it, but combined with the sleek writing, it turned into a delicious cocktail. I am definitely going for the other books in the series.The bads: There were some factual inconsistencies, but not major ones. Enough though to create disappointment. AKM didn't seem to have a purpose. The organization didn't have any job to do throughout the entire novel. It felt like it was there just to create a background filling for the story. So was Sam's husband. He was only there as an excuse for Sam being a pole dancer, and not being able to take Micah to the hospital when she first met him. The husband's appearance at the end of the book seemed contrived, and only planted there to dissipate this feeling of purposeless presence. It failed to do so. There are many other questions that remain unanswered, but I guess that the next books will address that.All in all, a great novel, which I would highly recommend. Well done!
