A twisting and satisfying thriller. Andy might just be my favorite Slaughter character yet— painfully real and disarmingly funny. I already know the Netflix adaptation will let me down, but I’m gonna give it a shot anyways.

It had a great start, I was really invested in what was going on but around 60%, the story was becoming quite far fetched and certain characters really got on my nerves. To be honest, I liked the sequel better. Which can be read as a standalone, you don't need to read this one first.

Wow!  This book was a wild ride from start to finish.  I won't get into too many details, but the story kept me glued to the edge of my seat the entire time.  I accidentally read spoilers from another review, but I was so engrossed in how the pieces of the spoilers would fit together with the rest of the story.

I love books that involve Witness Protection! With some reflection, I think I enjoy reading about people on the lam and thinking about how I would act in those situations as well.
