I enjoyed this book and it moved at a good pace. I figured some parts out but not others. Overall it was good but it just didn't have the extra cherry on top to make it 5 stars.

Thank you for the eArc in exchange for an honest review. 

This book is a solid 4 stars. The story was almost broken up into two parts. The first 60% was a thriller with multi POV and ambiguity on how things were connected. The last 40% was a simple action story. I enjoyed the first 60% much better.  I was able to get the connections between characters fairly early on, but that didn't take away from it for me.  I did not see the final twist until right before. 

I did feel like some elements were not overly realistic, such as a barely 22 year old Sherriff. The dialog was awkward at times. 
All in all, I enjoyed and read it very fast. Alex Finlay is an auto read author for me.
