I loved how this book started out, it was so deep, intense, and exciting to me. I kept wanting more and couldn’t stop reading. I love how the dad is the hero in this story. I just really didn’t like nor understand the reasoning of why what happened, and why this person did what they did. Didn’t make very much sense to me. But all in all I did really like this book.

I absolutely loved this! From beginning to end I was captivated!! I loved how I could envision everything! I felt like I was watching it play out in real time! Which I don’t have to tell you, is not easy to do especially with thrillers!
The sad part about this book for me was finding out the who done it. And unfortunately things like this actually happen, which again made me love the book, but scared me on a different level.
Over all a VERY much loved book!! Thank you to the author for sending this to me for an unbiased review!! I truly did love it!

What in the wanna be American hero dad fan fiction is this? It's clear the Author has never been to the USA. Or Australia. Or wherever this book was supposed to take place. No really, I can't figure it out. I'm guessing America based on context clues but again, no one here talks like this.

There were a lot of factually inaccuracies, weird poop obsessions, and too much use of a thesaurus when not needed.

If you have daddy issues and think the real threat is apparently lesbianism, this is for you!

This book for me was utterly fabulous. Had to read it in a day as needed to see how it ended. Never have I been so happy with a second half of a book as I was with this one.
