Enjoyable, fast read. I wanted to know how the story turned out, but sometimes was annoyed by the storylines shifting so much at the climax of one of the stories. It was a bit predictable, and could have been scarier. I liked how the main characters each had a bit more depth than they needed (i.e. knowing the agent’s family, knowing a bit of the sister’s backstory, the mom’s). I wish we knew more about the dad.

The writing wasn’t the best, and I think the story will be forgettable. But, I had an easy time reading it and being pulled along for the story. I don’t think I love realistic stories that have scarier themes
(the hitman)
so this wasn’t quite for me.
