This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

M.V. Ellis Hi Kristina,

Thanks so much for your message - I'm so sorry I didn't see this before. I know it's been a while, but I somehow managed to miss it.

It's a great question, but it's not as simple as it would seem to answer it, I'm afraid, for a few reasons. Firstly, if I can't really answer it without giving away spoilers, which obviously I can't do!

Secondly, this is Arlo Jones we're talking about. He's one complicated mofo, and as such, things are never black and white with him. This is a good example of that fact. The best way to understand him and what motivates him is to read the first three books in this series that tell Arlo and London's story - Catching London, Cold, Hard & Heartless, and Pushing Arlo.

I hope that helps, and again, huge apologies for the delayed response.
