This wasn't what I expected at all but overall a good read and everything wrapped up well at the end

I was really excited about this one and couldn't wait to read it. To start with, I struggled to get into it. The story was quite confusing, and a little way into it, it changed to start telling us the backstory of one of the characters. It didn't really seem to make any sense and seemed to have no real connection to what was currently happening. The story continued for a bit, only to then go back and give the backstory of another of the characters. Again, it didn't really make any sense as to why it was needed. By the time we got to the backstory of the third character, things started to click into place and finally started to make a little sense. By the end of the book, everything came together with a pretty cool twist that I hadn't seen coming. I had figured out the twist was related to two of the characters, but I was wrong about how it was going to play out. 
I actually ended up really enjoying this one and look forward to reading more from this author, as I have a couple more on my kindle.

Great overall story, took a long time to come together though.

Serviceable yarn with a few twists and turns - think the Saw movie franchise, but with a lot more character backstory. Great airplane barn burner type book, if not exactly super original. I'd recommend this as an easy read.

Loved it!

This is the type of book that never lets down and keeps taking you along for the ride. I’m going to look for more of his books right now, especially since they are on sale!

What a great idea for a book. It’s full of twist and turns; some you’ll see coming, others you won’t. Well worth the read!

Wow! What a great book! Imagine waking up in a white room with people you don’t know. Then imagine you have to play a game, a scavenger hunt to be exact. You have an exploding collar around your neck, a “watch” communicating instructions and clues given one at a time. And oh if you separate or fail to get to the next point, BOOM. Oh and by the way. No cars, police or telling anyone.

Scavenger hunt was a bloody, wild ride with a big twist at the end and I highly recommend it.

Thank you to the author for the review copy!
