I liked book 1, but thought this one was better. I know it is a novella, but it so helped to explain a few things. The sad thing is that I really liked Oscar, yet we knew he was not going to be around long term as we learned that in book 1, and I wished he could be.This book is told from Oscar's viewpoint, but you not only get what happened with the escape, but also a look into his life before he met the girls and what shaped his life and the decisions he made before he died. He was a young man in college when he lost his parents, his only family, and yet he thankfully had Sara and Reyes to help fill the gap. He met them while going to school in NY. They didn't lead a charmed life so spent a great deal of it with Oscar. When tragedy strikes again and he loses his second family, Oscar makes the decision to work for Dorian. One that he realizes didn't make his life better and that he was not the man Sara would be proud of. His hope for redemption was to get Pierce and Mia away from Dorian and on to a better life. Even one that meant they were running for a long time.I enjoyed being able to know Oscar and getting to know Reyes. I hope to hear more of him in future books. This book also confirmed what I guessed was the deal with Pierce's drugs :)
