I had zero expectations for this book. It’s one of those ones that’s just been sitting on my shelf for years that I’ve never touched but I am so glad I finally picked it up. Was a perfect mix of everything, a good pace but so much detail. Got very intense at certain parts which kept me turning page after page. I had no idea where the plot was headed until it was being described, in the best way possible. It wasn’t an unrealistic plot twist at all, it made perfect sense it was just so unexpected. I’m shocked that I enjoyed this as much as I did. I loved Quinns character and how the plot involved both his mentor and who he was mentoring which almost made him the man in the middle which I throughly enjoyed.
