Extremely well-written and intriguing story.

When I started reading - no, even before I bought this book, I was fascinated by the plot, so I had high expectations for this one. Well, maybe since it took me so long to buy the book and start it, I wasn't interested anymore.

This is how I felt while reading this.

While the characters are interesting and the initial setting (a prison) was alluring, once Carter and Kat start getting closer it became very predict ...more
