This is the definition of a 3 star thriller to me. Fast paced, short chapters, multiple points of view. It was full of action nearly the whole time and I wanted to keep reading to find out how it ends. Unfortunately, the ending was incredibly predictable and wasn't anything new or interesting. I have a strong feeling I will forget what happened in Parents' Weekend by the end of the week. 

This is 100% plot focused, and nothing is really left for the characters. I enjoy reading from Keller's perspective but she is clearly a woman written by a man. I can't put my finger one what it is about her or how her character is written, but its obvious. I just don't think a woman would do or think what she does. I don't really have anything else to say about the other characters because we honestly don't really get to know them. 

If you are in the mood for a quick read and an okay time, pick this one up.

a bit disappointing and dragged on. I really like the previous book by this author and was so excited for this new one.... but it was kind of a dud. I think too many characters and side stories so the flow wasn't great
