The scene where she saw a face in the window and they tried to break in, gave me goosebumps… I enjoyed the story, the back and forth telling.
3.5 rounded up. This was an intricate thriller with an original plot. My brain hurts a little but after some predictable fast paced thrillers this was a nice change of pace.
This had great potential, but the timeline is so chaotic and the characters are so flat. Whomp whomp.
I loved The Whisper Man. Why have the last two been so disappointing? This one started out well, then the story lost something. Still worth reading.

Pairs Well With: Getting very distracted, very quickly. Like if you tried to make the parent trap a thriller but had commercials targeted at middle aged house wives playing every five minutes.

Wow! Alex North did it again!
I will say the first 25% of the book was a bit confusing with all the characters, but once I was able to keep them straight this book was intense!
What a philosophical twist to family secrets and fate/human choice.
Basically the Shaws are a brother/sister duo that have been estranged for several years. Now the brother (Chris) is in trouble and needs help.
In addition, there are several evil characters trying to harm both of the Shaws and their respective partners/families. Why? And do they succeed?
A bit of an outlandish plot, but it is a fictional book. However, I really liked the philosophical component to this book which made me think a bit more about fate vs. choice.
I’m not sure this is my favorite AN book, but I really enjoyed it and would recommend to others!

3, 3.5, 4. I am going with 4 because it's December, but it is a generous 4. To be honest this book is a little bit of a mess. The idea is great and I really liked the ending but the journey there is one strange trip. It really feels like something is missing, like something was taken out of the story, maybe to make it shorter. I don't know, it just felt like it was lacking something.
Think Alex North has set his bar quite high and this one falls a bit short of his previous two books.
