Review :
I really enjoyed this story and was very surprised at how well the author has written the reaction of Pedro. I love how author brings the side characters ( esp. Maria ) into the story and make you want to find out more about them instead of them just being filler. The story is engrossing and I couldnot stop reading. Story had it's flaws but was an enjoyable tale with an engaging lead and some supporting characters. The book is easy to follow and very fast paced. The language of the book is simple and cover of the book is apt to the story. Definitely a good read. Highly recommend.
