Throughout this journey, Jesse uncovers his shocking past, a past that he has tried so hard to escape.

I was lucky enough to be sent a ARC copy of this book from readers first. This is the first Marc Raabe book that I have read and I do like his writing style. The book is split into chapters regarding the past and the present day which I did enjoy. However, this book just did not keep me gripped. I struggled to form a relationship with any of the characters which meant that I could not invest may interest in the story line. This makes me sad because I did really like the idea of the progressive story and I really wanted to love this book but it just did not draw me in like many other crime thrillers similar do. Also, through finishing the book I have so many unanswered questions that I do not feel were addressed throughout the book.
