Gripping from beginning to end. This action packed thriller had me on the end of my seat and gasping for air. Despite the constant state of panic this book had me in, j didn't want it to end. I can't wait to read more of T. J. Newman's work.

I think those book would work better as a movie. I had a hard time paying attention and had to restart the book several times before I felt hooked enough to keep going.

Phenomenal book. This had me enthralled from the first to last page. The characters, the writing, the plot, all amazing. I loved it so much and it made me feel so anxious and made me cry.

4.25

I laughed, I cried (I’m still crying after finishing the book) I was on the edge of my seat and I felt all the emotions humans can experience 

This is so much better than TJ Newman’s other book falling.
