It's one of those books that you can't stop thinking about if something made you drop it midway. Each chapter ends with a suspense that makes you want to read the next chapter immediately.

I couldn't stop reading it from the moment I started with chapter one, everything I've read so far is actually happening in Nigeria and I'm curious to see what happens at the end of this story.
