Another thriller that I genuinely couldn’t put down. It left me guessing and really made me question how powerful something like a real like chain letter can be. And the inspiration behind the character that started the chain was actually hilarious to me. I really really liked this book.

2nd book club pick for my Barnes & Noble book club.

Stressful from the get-go and barely lets you breathe until the last chapter, but SUCH a fun read! i definitely get what people are saying about part 2 being unnecessary and such, but the big reveal in that part saved it for me and I still enjoyed it! There was a lot of info about guns that I didnt really care about, and the beginning of part 2 was kinda slow, mostly because I knew going into it that that's where it kinda goes downhill, but otherwise I still think it's def worth the read!

Once again I write a review wishing GoodReads would let us do half stars. This is closer to a 3.5 for me. The first half of this book was excellent. I did not want to put it down. It was constant action. The second part was still good, but felt unnecessarily long.

If I were being very picky, the plot was unrealistic. Something like this would have unraveled early on. There’s no way that many people can successfully kidnap that many children without someone getting caught.

Popcorn thriller solid and straightforward. The first part was perfect and gripping grow on my nerves but the second part get boring and destroyed by the mathematics and technology data analysis explanation it became unfathomable for some parts book became more targeted to some tech wizard who knows all the regression and analysis how the new technology and dark Web works but overall fast pacing good predictable thriller minus the math part
