I gave 5 stars for everything. Tom was brilliant in expanding his tones and making the characters thrive and come to life. Each character had a different voice and it was perfect. Story line flowed excellently and when you think one thing was bad it got worse and worse for the characters. The ending made me gag horribly since I have a phobia of people getting sick but this was an outstanding listen during my work hours. I absolutely need to purchase the next book. Like now.
