Ok. I liked most of this book, but what didn't work really took me out of the story, and nearly ruined it. I live in the area this book is set in, and it has some glaring mistakes. There are no almond orchards in Washington. The Keystone ferry doesn't go to Everett. You don't drive through Monroe while driving up I-5. This is a known issue for me, I try so hard not to let it bother me, but it does. I understand making up locations, as the author does in this book, but if you are going to use a real location it needs to be accurate. I'm sorry, but that is my opinion. It try so hard not to let it affect my liking of a book, but it does.Ignoring those issues and trying to be unbiased, I mostly liked the story. I love Luki and Sonny, they are great characters with lots of depth to them. Most of the story worked for me, although I'm not sure why folks from the peninsula would be heading to Bellingham so much...But anyway! It's a good book, not great, but I'm reading more of them to see how it goes!
