Three Hours is an incredible novel that grabs you from the first page, keeps you on the edge of your seat until the last page, and sends you on an emotional roller coaster.

Three Hours brings one of the worst nightmares for parents, teachers, students, and their families by going through a school shooting from beginning to end.

The author really does a fantastic job creating that perfect atmosphere with so much tension that I ended up biting my nails until they bleed. I loved seeing events unfold through the various groups of students, parents, and cops because each added a unique experience and had you going through all the different moments of terror, helplessness, and heartbreak.

I loved how the author took very relevant and difficult subjects like school shootings and handled them so well that you weren't overwhelmed by it all but were still able to experience each aspect. I definitely cried a few times on this one.

I will be keeping an eye on this author because this was a fantastic book that delivered on all aspects!
