Could already tell that Id enjoy this book from the get go. A fast-paced thriller that feels like a roller coaster ride until the very end. I love how detailed this novel is. Most chapters are quite short probably because we get to see things from different povs (which makes it more interesting).
Another point that I love is how they didn’t portray Mel (the daughter) as a weak girl who’d just accept her situation. She’s smart and strong-willed, and I think it’s important for us to have that kind of character.
Overall it’s a good novel. A thick, but an enjoyable read. It’s a perfect mix of political (thriller) and procedural dramas. Finishing this novel leaves me wanting for more especially after reading Matt’s letter to Pamela, but I wont get my hopes up by waiting for a sequel.

James Patterson will NEVER fail me. I have loved each of his books that I have read. I was scared to read this book only because I was not sure how I would like it being more on the political side as I dont like politics. BUT this book was AMAZING, I cried halfway through the book and it broke my heart! Once the book continued though, I could not stop reading. I love how each chapter is short and if I needed to stop I could and pick right back up super easy. The ending also broke my heart and I was also just so happy at the same time. This book made me feel so many emotions that I thought I would not get, due to the nature of the book. Like I said James Patterson has never let me down yet.

A fun time pass, a great alternative to a cheesy action movie.
