I almost didn't download this after reading the one/two star reviews.  However, since it was free, and I didn't have another book on tap, I decided to check it out.  I loved it!  Very intriguing premise (see other reviews for more on that) that was done well.  Kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering if Wes and Becca would be able to save Chad. I liked Chad's interior dialogue with Faria. Wallace wove the bits of the story together well, though at times I was wondering why something was important to the story.  I started to get a bit lost in the middle, but Wallace had made me care about Chad, so I kept reading.  As couple of chapters after that point, I couldn't put it down.I especially liked the character of Becca, no wimp or simpering girlfriend.  I appreciated the way Wallace drew her character-- she just DID things, no little asides indicating any surprise that a WOMAN was capable of doing them.  She was smart, confident, and competent.  There was definitely a smattering (or more) of Spanish, but it was all in context and easy enough to figure out. Not sure what the complaints about that were from some reviewers. I didn't find an overuse of profanity or sexual situations, either, as some did. All in all, a great start to what is a series.  On to the next one!
