4.0

Such a terrifying, yet fascinating premise for a book. This is a unique thriller and one that I won’t forget about anytime soon. The second half of the book drug on a little for me but once I understood why it was set up the way it was, the pace picked up again. It didn’t take me long to identify the bad guy once the second part of the book started but it was gratifying to be right in the end.

This was super fast paced and a fun time. It’s a really interesting concept that kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn’t love the last 150 pages because of the direction it took, but it was still thrilling. I liked the characters and I liked the romance what can I say. Also the fact that this had 77 chapters made me happy( if you know you know). If you want a fast paced entertaining thriller I would recommend this.

I really didn’t like this book. the writing was not my favorite, the characters felt illegitimate, and the ending/reveal was cheap and obvious in my opinion. after reading the back i was so incredibly excited to read and love this but it just felt like a first draft :(

3.25

This book had such an interesting premise to it, having a loved one kidnapping forcing you to kidnap someone to get them back and keeping that going on and on and on, but i think in the end it was kind of fumbled. There was far too much information when it came to describing the guns in the book and the military background of one of the characters. On top of that, the first heroin scene was completely out of nowhere and it again was too much information, and that was also brought up many times. I feel like it should have focused more on other things. The reveal was sort of underwhelming a little bit and the small romance subplot seemed very forced. I think the first part of the book was much better than the second part. the first part seemed well thought out and interesting while the second part felt… like the author didn’t know where to go. I gave it a 3.25 because while there were a lot of flaws with it, i did find it enjoyable.
