Hey Kerry, drop us a post just as soon as you finish Chapter 12 and let us know how you liked it. I'm sure you will like it, but Chapter 12 is a very serious (for lack of a better word) chapter. We find out more about Ortiz in chapter 12. We also find out the depth of Hinestroza's cruelty.
I'll stop now because I don't want to post any spoilers. But let us know how you liked it, okay?
I have just finished reading Chapters 12-14, David, and am looking forward to reading more, later this evening. Must scoot along for tea right now, but will certainly be posting more later. There were lots of memorable quotes in those chapters, and the heart-thumping tension created by Amy in Chapter 14 was palpable! When "you know who" was shot (I'm being conscious of spoilers, folks!), I literally yelled "Hooray!" out loud. Actually, I'm being polite there, what I think I actually yelled was, "Fuckin' Beauty!" which is Australian for "Yipee!"
