I did not like this book but I must admit it was powerfully written and I could not put it down until I was finished. It was not one of the fast-paced fairly easy young adult reads that I most enjoy but was a poetically written, translated from Spanish, bogged down with emotion, book about a truly disturbing topic. The hero of the story, 22 year old Moises, is a scout for an elite international sex club. He roams the worlds most troubled sites to recruit men, women, and children for the club. Moises tells himself that he is saving them from the disaster of their current lives but the truth of what he is doing really bothers him, and he struggles to come to terms with the truth.
