A woman on the run. She is wanted dead. Only because she unwisely took some money, a lot of money. Now, the man she once called lover is ready to be her executioner. It doesn't help she is in a foreign country. Mexico is not the best location when a drug lord is after you.This is a very short book. You could easily read it in an afternoon and might even get the others in, too. But the pace is fast. There are some slow scenes, but they are still fast compared to most books. You could put the book down, but you will be back soon because so much is happening. After all, the woman is on the run and the ones after her are not ones to lolly-gag about.The storyline is extremely interesting and slowly revealed over the course of the book. You know a woman is on the run. A man wants her dead. I like the fact that it is revealed little by little as the story develops. Being in first person, we can see into the mind of the fugitive which helps speed the plot along.The characters in this story are well developed with good supporting action and dialogue. The main character gives us insight into her actions. You see her conflicts and struggles to make decisions. You don't get too familiar with many other characters as most of them are brief, but even they are well done.The writing style is easy to follow. Scenes flow well from one to the other. There is violence in the book and strong language. F-bombs are dropped quite frequently.I did enjoy this book. I loved the fact that it kept me interested and wanting to read more. The language didn't bother me as it was not crude or over the top. It fit the characters and the situations. If you're looking for a thriller that is a short read, I do recommend this book.Note: I received this book from a book tour with no expectation of a positive review.
