I don't typically read crime thrillers but as soon as I hit the 10% mark I was hooked by the plot. I loved the morally gray characters and I couldn't help but root for Roman even as the body count started to add up. The lengths that Roman went to in order to protect Dante and Neveah really made his character stand out. I liked the ending: how for every piece that Roman won, he lost just as much. I wish that we had gotten to see more of Khalil, since he came across as more of a plot device than a fully-fleshed character.
