I had a chance to review the e-book for this story, and it was a good story that kept me engaged and wanting to read more. There are several characters to follow and several conflicts to resolve throughout the course of the book, and they are all handled in a way that is satisfying, but not simplified. It was a good read over the course of a weekend!
