Molly Rourke is on a path to avenge her son's death. However, first with the bank threatening to foreclose their farm and then an FBI Agent on her track, Molly has a difficult time ahead. Will she be able to pull off her ingenious plan?

The characters were okay and I did like the complexity of the plot given the length of the book.

Interesting and engaging.

Story was good. I missed understand the meaning of "a story in real time". Story takes place over 1.5 years not 113 minutes. However each chapter is a timing for the action in the chapter. I guess they add up to the 113 minutes. Wonder if Patterson added them up?

This was an awesome read. Patterson continues to pump out great fiction including this one with a surprise ending.

I just don't know what to say. I'll start with the negative, the numbers-- I'm sure they have a reason but got a little annoying as the story went on. Molly gets her family turnt up when her son winds up od'ing. Agent Mason is on the hunt for some robbers. I thought a thought of how this book should go, but I thought nah, it won't go that way... but then it did and I was still shocked. A very fast fun read.

Actual Rating: 3.5

This was an interesting read. This is one of the BookShot books that James Patterson writes. The story was enjoyable, yet sometimes a bit confusing. Molly Rourke is a woman who wants to seek revenge after her son, Alex, was sold crystal meth and died. He was fifteen at the time. She creates a plan of revenge against the men who had a role in his death. As stated before, I did like the storyline, but I thought that there were some parts that could have been explained more. Mason was an interesting character. He was beautiful, smart, and just interesting. His interaction with Molly was sweet, but I thought there could have been more of an explanation of how they got together. Also, I thought Molly and her brothers were great characters too. In this book, it demonstrates the undying love a mother has for her child. We should never doubt the love a mother has for a child because as Molly demonstrated in this book, they will do whatever it takes to bring justice to their kids. I thought the ending was sweet, but could have been longer. Overall, a great read.

Yet another Patterson money grab book.

A quick exciting read. Read it in two hours.
