I liked this story, but I didn't love it.... Harper Fox is an amazing writer, some of her books have been absolutely fantastic. This one was good, but something wasn't quite there. It was short I guess, maybe I didn't have chance to get to know Rory and Kestrel like I should. I didn't really care that much about them. I wanted to like them, I liked Rory more, Kestrel was just kind of an ass for most of the book. To Rory and to other people as well. The whole test just didn't work for me either, seemed very unrealistic. Up until that point I felt the book seemed well researched, not that I know anything about mountain rescue, but is worked for me. Until the test, then I didn't believe it anymore.Even though I had issues with the plot, I still enjoyed the book. Harper's writing is so descriptive and beautiful, I felt like I was there, in the mountains, in Kestrel's nasty home, and in the back alley, right there with them. I liked the other characters and the "world" they all lived in.Anyway, I liked the book, it's worth reading, but after some of her other strong stories it's just a bit of a let down. Won't stop me at all from reading her next book!
