I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this one...the writing is promising and I look forward to reading future books by Casey Barrett. But this one felt a little flat. it wasn't as edge of my seat as I had hoped and there seemed to be a lot of excessive details that pulled away from my enjoyment of the story.

Overall the style and premise is good and I look forward to reading more.

The main character, Duck, reminds me of a somewhat degenerate version of Harlan Coben's character, Myron Bolitar. Duck isn't especially likable and yet I found him oddly sympathetic. The author's use of description is excellent - in fact I could easily picture this book as a movie. The descriptions of violence were almost TOO easily pictured - they were cringe-worthy. The characters are all well-defined and well described and the story is compelling with plenty of twists. I'll be very surprised if the author doesn't follow up this book with further adventures of Duck!

I loved the characters, the main plot was in genius. Kept me guessing till the last chapter.

An interesting read for sure. Not as punchy as my usual crime reads but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Great characters and a gripping plot made this an easy read. I’ll definitely read more from this author!
