The Chain
by Adrian McKinty
If you have a child, if there is a child in your family who you love, hell, if you've ever met a child - this book will be hard to swallow.
The premise is simple: your child is taken and you face every parents nightmare. To bring your child home, you have to inflict that same hell on another family. We say we will do anything to protect our kids, this book will show you exactly how far that could go.
Within a few short minutes it had my full attention. Victim, accomplice, criminal, victim, round and round. Just when you think one thing is over, it strikes back in another form. Taking a child isn't just about the kidnapping part and criminals aren't always the bad guys.
I absolutely devoured this. From start to finish in maybe 6 hours, split up through a 24 hour stretch. Knowing that my babies were near me at all times while I was reading made it a bit easier to breathe as I flipped pages. Had I taken longer to read this, I'm not sure my psyche could have handled it.
It has already been suggested to a couple of people and is on a purchase list at my library. No doubt it will become a discussion piece.
I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchamge for my honest review.
