Ratings and reviews

Good read. I am not sure who the man in the bar was demanding money. Who was he? I needed more detail on the ending. Angela walked out of the bar but did she meet up with Max at the bar or...? This book left me with some questions with no answers. The characters had depth and background stories with the exception of Dillion and Angela. I will read the 2nd and 3rd books to this story and see how they read.
