When i got this book i was not expecting it to be that good. This book turned out to be better than i had expected. I will definitely be reading the next book in this series
Very good book!! Really liked the Vilkov story. I really want to read more about him and Zach. This is my mom's first book and I'm so proud of her.
A very entertaining story. The characters seem real and relatable. It was hard to put down. Teens and adults alike will enjoy this story.
What a great book!! I cannot wait for the 2nd book!
