I love multi-POV stories……you get little bits of the story from various sources and get to watch it all come together into one fantastic story, and Parents Weekend was no exception to this. Each family has their secrets and lies to protect, but all is revealed when their children go missing, whether they want it to be or not. There were twists I didn't see coming, drawing me deeper into the story.

I love a campus thriller but this one will unfortunately be forgettable. Easy, one sitting type read.

Parents Weekend is a suspenseful, entertaining read about 5 college students who go missing on Parents Weekend. I love Alex Finlay’s books, and his writing is so fast paced and addicting. I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews on this, but I personally enjoyed it. It’s in multiple POVs and kept me drawn in the entire time with the binge worthy plot. The characters all have secrets and issues, and there is a lot going on, but it never got too confusing for me.

I love Alex Finlay’s books. Always a wild ride. I’m never sure where the story is going to take me. This was a fun one. I tend to love thriller tropes that have some sort of college scandal. Never gets old for me, and this was a different twist from what I usually read

When the bad person is revealed, I definitely understand how they got to this point and did what they did. This was a twisty thriller that kept me guessing to the end. I look forward to reading more of Alex Finlay's work in the future.
Brittany Pressley did a great job narrating this story.
