Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Anonim a dat nota:
It was gripping, intense, suspenseful and it has cost me 2 nights of good sleep. I would've given it 5 stars if not for the really bad ending. It didn't feel as real as the rest of the book and it kinda ruined the whole story for me. It almost felt like the story was going in a different direction but the author insisted to take this path instead, turning it into a bad action movie in which literally everyone knows how to use a gun.
