As promised by the Goodreads list, this did have an abrupt ending. This is why I immediately picked up the second book in the duology and started reading. I need to know how Kaz and Company solve the problems facing their little criminal crew.

I will also say that this does not read like your typical Young Adult book, even though I'm pretty sure it's marketed that way because of the characters' ages. These, though, are old souls who have seen the world's roughest edges and survived horrors to be where they are now.
