I rarely rate a book 5 stars, but what can I say, I really, really liked this book.  I was hooked on it from the very start and never found it dull or boring or slow.  It totally drew me into the story, as I found the subject fascinating and scary.For those of you that do not like gore and violence, this might not be the book for you, but as far as I am concerned, it is just the nature of the beast because of the subject we are dealing with and I believe that in order for this author to write a story that is believeable and authentic, he needs to write in this manner and with these types of scenes.  They just can't be left out.Just a good story that was well told and well thought out.  I loved how the author was able to make everything come together in the last major scene - I was in awe of the amount of thought and planning to make it happen.My only complaint is that when it ended, I was caught totally by surprise because I was reading  it on my Kindle which was telling me that I was at 84% complete.  What I did not realize was that there was a sample of another book by this author contained within this book.  The ending was appropriate, but you know that there is another book to come as you know it's not over yet.For those interested in this book.  I suggest that you read the "prequel" to this series "Night of the Assassin" so you can get some background on El Rey.  I'm about 25% into the prequel right now and am enjoying getting to know how the assassin came to be.
