Hey! I just read desperado and from what I've seen so far it's a great start! You've laid out the foundation quite well, and the story line is strong. The atmosphere you've set is really well. The semi-cliffhanger at the end of chapter 2 really makes the reader want to continue, especially from my perspective I was expecting you dive into a redemption arc but to see him aggressive and immoral was brilliant and unexpected and pulls me in to see where this story will be going further!
