This had a lot of promise but ended up being extremely meh by the end. I definitely enjoyed elements of the story, but there were quite a few plot points I could have done without. I feel like it's common for thriller authors to try to pack in as many conflicts as possible when it justĀ doesn't have to be that deep.
Graphic: Injury/Injury detail, Death, and Drug abuse
Moderate: Death of parent and Pregnancy
