The book starts with a punch and I was immediately hooked… for the first chapter. I found beyond that initial opener, it was a slow starter. It picks up pace after about chapter 15 and the end chapters really do grip you: it’s definitely a ‘just-one-more-chapter’ book towards the end and I couldn’t put it down!
Overall I thought the storyline was fairly average. I wasn’t blown away in all honesty and at times it was quite predictable. I think by the nature of the setting, there’s only so much possibility around the plot.
The characters were a great ensemble but you never really get in to any depth with them. There just isn’t the time. But given it’s a hostage situation, I found this an odd choice as it’s hard to get emotionally invested in any of the characters.
Overall I did still really enjoy the book, and I would recommend it to anyone keen on a thriller. I can absolutely see it as a movie and it’s one I would watch. An enjoyable read and (just about) a 4 star read from me.

The story and writing style of this book was maxing and i would love to read some more from this author. The reason why i give this book a lower ranking is because it took me a while to get through, despite it being short. I just did not find myself excited to read this book. There were some unexpected twists, but most things played out as expected.
