3.0

I went into this book blind and the beginning was slow. I didn't mind the time jumps (I actually enjoyed them), but by a quarter through the book, I had an idea of the twist at the end. It was quite obvious which characters were the 'villains' and I was expecting more of a shock factor from the twist. The author built the twist up as something dark and brutal but it was pretty normal for a thriller.
