3.0

This book is a serious thriller. From the first line I was shocked. It carries the suspense throughout.  It is one of those books that is plot driven and reads like a movie, so if you enjoy that type of book you would love this. The characters are still very interesting and built out despite how plot focused the book is. This is a quick read, coming in under 300 pages. If you have flight anxiety I would definitely not recommend this for you. 

This book has many POVs, but is about a pilot who is given a choice. His family on the ground has been kidnapped.  Either crash the plane and kill every aboard, or let his family die. It is definitely gripping watching the entire cast of characters from different positions go through this senario. 

Was it perfect? No. It is my favorite book? No. Was it a fun thriller? Yes! Do I recommend it! Absolutely.  It is a milkshake read. You want to get through it and find out what happens.
