Read in 6 hours via audio. Fast paced, 2 POVs, interesting plot.  Would recommend for a quick fun read. I do feel like the ending was rushed and I can't realistically see it happening in real life.

Fastest paced. Multiple POVs thought different timelines. 

I enjoyed it but at times the character made very dumb decisions in the name of protecting family.
