Wow! I did not see the revelation of who the mastermind was coming! I had to rush through the house to get the next book in the series as I had to know what was going to happen next and how they would uncover the identity of the mastermind! On top of that Alex had to deal with a sick daughter and his relationship breaking down completely!
This story was just okay. I wasn't excited about it at all. I felt a little deja vu and like I knew what was coming at the end. I wasn't sure exactly who the Mastermind was but I figured it would be from a certain group and it was. I was annoyed because something similar was done before in earlier books and that's why I knew where it was going. Another thing was expected too but I won't say because I don't want to spoil the story.
