This book was definitely a good quick thriller. Although I didn't LOVE LOVE it, there were some good things about it.
What I liked: I loved the characters in this book. Cam was a great husband and father, despite his many flaws. Jade was a kick ass mom who packed a punch when it came down to protecting her kids. Beatrix was a little firecracker and very protective and smart, and Baxter was just so cute and innocent, even in danger. Even Sebastian (who was holding them hostage), who was a good Dad behind the mask who just wanted to help his daughter. The chapters were quick which is always great, and they were alternating POV between Jade, Cam and Sebastian. I also loved she added the Interview with Cam post invasion. I loved the overall message of the book too... how far would you go to save the ones you love??
What I didn't like: the ending left me sooo frustrated. I wanted to know more. The whole book was super quick and like edgy, and then the end just felt cut off... like there should have been more !! I want more !!! What happened after the home invasion? what happened to both families ? are they still together? what happened to Cam's restaurants... I just wish there was a LITTLE more to end the story.
Overall, a quick thriller. Good story, just wanted more at the end. This book would be perfect for readers who don't like all the intense, gory thrillers... easy domestic thriller.
