It takes a lot for me to follow a series after the first book. I probably only continue on about 20% of the time. This one falls into the small minority.
The book is relentlessly paced, using the built-in countdown to sustain and build the tension throughout the course of the story. It often requires the same suspension of belief that the show 24 needed, so the reader doesn't start questioning the lapse of time, but as a lover of that show, this worked for me on more than one level. I was intrigued enough by all the unanswered questions to continue on with Evy in search of them, and I admired her strength to merit investing in her as a heroine. While not perfect - with the focus on the action, the emotional side is often cheated - the author shows definite promise in creating an escapist read. I'm picking up the second book to see if she can sustain it.
