I listened to this on audiobook, and absolutely loved the production of it! It sounded like you were listening to a movie. Highly recommend if you like audiobooks!

This storyline was unique, about a chain of kidnappings. To get your loved one back, you must pay a ransom, and kidnap another person before your loved one is returned. Rachel is the Mother of a kidnapped child, who fights with herself and her morals on of how to get her back safely.

The plot kept me engaged the entire time, I was so curious about who was running the chain and why, and the reasoning behind it all was fulfilling and interesting. Definitely an entertaining read with a unique plot line, which I feel like can be hard with thriller these days!

Loved the concept. First part was a lot better than the second part which I felt dragged a bit more than the first. Did enjoy the whole thing but some aspects were a bit predictable.

I definitely enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to get into thrillers. If you don't do what you are told by the previous person you may not see your child again. This book was a good one that shows what people will do to ensure they get their child back. This was an interesting read that I know I will continue to talk about and recommend to others.
