Wainwright makes clear that those seeking to stop the drugs trade fail due to their insistence on treating it like a war, when they should treat it like a market manipulation. Such a clever book.

I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did a great job to put some 'life' into what could have been a bland story that could easily come across as a text book. The author has clearly done his research and there is a lot of information to digest.
Overall, a very interesting overview of the seedy and dangerous world of the drug trade and my thanks go to Arcturus Digital Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of El Chapo.

This book starts out quickly and never lets up. We are always getting a twist or clue to keep us turning the pages. The characters are wonderful, and we meet some new ones I hope stick around as well. The book was over all too quickly, leaving me waiting for the next.
NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I found this easy to read. Human Trafficking can be found anywhere, as evidenced in the final story of this trio of stories.
All of these women are some of the strongest women I've read about and I applaud them, but they are just a very very small portion of those who are suffering and have suffered from human sex trafficking.
This will open your eyes.

I had a rough start in life, losing both my parents before I was even a week old. Thankfully, Ray took me in and taught me his trade. I grew used to death, just another part of life.
I enjoyed being the caretaker of the old mountain cemetery, and one day while I was ...
This is a hard book for me to rate. At first I struggled with the way it was written and the whole story. I never try to leave a bad review and I didn't think I would continue with this book. But I pushed through and I'm so glad I did!!! I really ended up enjoying it. It's certainly a different spin on being dead and I really came to enjoy the book enough to give the second book a try to! My advice if you're struggling stick with it.
