Ratings and reviews

I really loved it. As good as her others. A young lad swept into the underworld, making a big name for himself at the cost of his emotions and feelings. He becomes cold blooded and has no conscience, a rare breed of "faces".

I always really enjoy Martina's books but this is the first one, I haven't been on the edge of my seat. I found it really repetitive, going over the same issues all the time. sorry.

Martina Coles style of writing is awesome and icant get enough of her books. This is the first book of hers iread years ago, and i have now read it 5 times, plus all of her other ones. Fantastic and addictive!
