4.5

I really enjoyed this book; it wasn't predictable for the most part. I never did trust Jack, but I doubt any reader would. I loved Max, Pari, Waverly, and Caroline. Ashley, I'm on the fence about her. I wish we'd gotten more of the book after the disaster. Maybe a sequel? Overall, a good and not super predictable edge-of-your-seat thriller.
