This was a fantastic read! It pulled me in from beginning to end. It is a gripping story that keeps you glued to the page to figure out what is going to happen next and how Charles Jenkins is going to get out of his current situation. This book has a ton of twists and turns and they are very well done! It didn't get overly confusing, to the point where you couldn't track what was happening  when you were meant to but it will definitely keep you guessing and wondering how he will pull it off this time. I really enjoyed this one. It doesn't quite start off with a bang but I enjoyed getting to know the characters and watching Charles Jenkins being pulled back into this life and the way everything is set up. It gets you engaged with the characters and then keeps you that way the entire time. There are definitely edge of your seat parts of the book and parts where you think, things have to be coming to an end but there is still quite a bit left and here comes this twist that totally works and sends it spinning off in a different direction. This book was thoroughly thought out and well done. It keeps moving forward and keeps the reader engaged and needing to know what is coming next. I absolutely enjoyed it and can't wait to see what is next for Charles Jenkins. 
I listened to the audio book and it was very well done by the narrator. I thought all the Russian pronunciation was on point and great as well as the accents. Narrator did a great job with all the different voices for the characters and adding in that extra touch of emotion and showcasing the action going on in the story. It really brought it to life and added that extra dynamic.
