This was my first read by this author but it will definitely NOT be my last. The book got off to a really "busy" start. There were lots of characters and then the author did an excellent job of alternating back and forth between the character's real names and their chat line handles. This further added to my confusion.Toward the middle of the book, the plot thickened so much that I got used to the characters and even when I wasn't 100% sure who was with who half the time, the story got so good that it didn't matter. I actually would have enjoyed seeing this story as a movie. The authors painted such clear images in my mind that I felt as if I was watching it as opposed to reading.As I read the book, I wondered how would HOOD bring everything together. Well, he did NOT disappoint me. I hate to read spoilers in reviews so I won't give anything away. I will say that this is an excellent read and I can appreciate the thought and attention to details the writer put into the book. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because there were so many characters and so many names and I had to keep double-checking myself and that slowed me down a bit. This book was entertaining, original and kept me on edge.I'll be reading the next book in the Black Love series soon.
