Ratings and reviews

I was not expecting much because of the low price, i was pleasantly surprised. The story is very interesting and well written. I am getting more of Katia's books to try.

Have not finished reading the book yet but it is good. Wanted to complain that, so far, there are 2 places where 3-5 pages are missing. This is the first E-book I have ever purchased and all the missing pages make me want to stick with paperback books and never buy another E-book. Where are the missing pages Google Play?!?!

I really like thriller books. This book had my heart pumping a few times. Once I got to Day Four I could not put it down.
