Manik by Amo Jones

I wasn't sure if I would like this book but I bought it anyway and did in fact enjoy it immensely.  The book is well written and full of different twists that are completely unexpected and completely loved. 

I did have problems with the book though. 

I know not all authors use the same terms but in this book I had a hard time with the Russian Mob part of the book, the terms used and pretty much everything else.  Pakhan is a title and in this book it seems like it is used as the persons name, is one example.  Another is the Pen, it just seems a little random.  Besides those two things there are terms used for the Russian Bratva in this book like 'capo' is not a Russian term but is used for the Russian mob.  It was the small things like that that I had issues with but the small details are important to the story too so they should be correct.  There is the term 'Vor' that is never really described and then the fact that the one person has about three or four different names that he is called or referred to as.
