Another great read by Alex Sanchez!

Normally I read just at night or on by breaks at work, but I found myself putting aside my laptop to read more of this. Which didn't last long because it is a very quick read, despite being 240-ish pages.

I enjoyed the characters, though I would have preferred to not have Vidas' 'secret' revealed in the chapter that we first meet him. I would have loved to have found out with Diego. Because I knew about it, I was braced for the whole book, just waiting for Diego to find out and the explosion, so it didn't have as much of an impact as it could have. The only thing that kept this from 5 stars was that and the double team that happened with Diego's mom toward the end, when Diego came clean to her. That was so uncomfortable and didn't seem quite right.

I could easily see this as a movie. The part with Diego facing his demons at sea. It was so realistic!

And I am glad that there was a hug! Another thing I had been expecting for half the book ;)
