This was interesting - I liked it more than most thrillers I read, but it's really not my genre. However, I can't say I was satisfied by the end....the whole reveal of May at the end, the reveal about what happened, how things come together with the friends, a vague reference to something that isn't really explained.....I don't know, maybe I missed some obvious things because it's not my thing but it just felt very haphazard to me. 

That said, I was engaged and it was an easy read - I wasn't anxious to get back to it, but I didn't dread reading it either. It was quick and simple and held my attention. 

I'm sure this is a fantastic book for those that love the genre - it just isn't for me.
