I stayed up till three in the morning finishing this book. It is very suspenceful, but also takes time to develop the characters, new and old. I really liked how Walter and Ashley's relashonship matured throughout the book. Walter and Gabe, finally meet, providing some good laughs, and Larry is hilarious as usual. Serious, and a few sad moments also appear. All the plots weave together flawlessly in the end, and many questions are answered. But of course more questions are raised. I am anxiosly awaiting the next installment (which is not good since it won't be comeing out for nearly a year).
