3.5 starsVery nice response to the prompt. Well written, atmospheric and evocative. Fully engaging until the guard, Scar, became the savior. The heavy, mood of horror set up in the excellent beginning - my favorite section - was somewhat diminished. Inevitable, but a bit disappointing since the HEA was not requisite. Definitely want to explore more of this author's work ([b:Gravitational Attraction|13406392|Gravitational Attraction|Angel Martinez|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1330839061s/13406392.jpg|18638515] being at the top of the list)
