There's still so much to learn about who Charley is exactly, what she can do, and what the others can do as well.

There are so many crime aspects to it, and mystery upon mustery to unveil, after all. I fairly enjoyed the ride because this is really well written and the plot keeps you real entertained and attached to the book. I didn't know you could pack a book with that many snarky comments and so much banter before, to be honest.
