2.5

This book was very similar to The Push, and though I didn’t love The Push, I liked it much better than this. I didn’t find the characters relatable and had a hard time feeling sympathetic towards them despite the struggles they went through. The plot was mostly frustrating and the ending? Well, there wasn’t really an ending at all. 
Overall, a tense thriller, but felt like I had read it before and the ending is what brought it down to a 2.5 for me.
