An exciting and fast-paced mystery thriller that went in a direction I wasn't anticipating.
Twenty-five years ago, Ben, Jenna, Nico, and Donnie, survived their time as orphans in the horrible Savior House. After several other teens suddenly vanished from the home with no explanation, they made a grave decision and then escaped to go their separate ways. The kids put their abusive pasts behind them and went on to different lives, some more successful than others.
They come back together now because someone is trying to kill them after all these years. Who wants them dead, and why now. No spoilers.
This was action-packed and very entertaining. The narrative shifts in time from then to now and between the main characters in alternating points of view. As I listened to the audiobook while following along in the e-book, the story came alive with the various voices. A fine multicast performance that really enhanced the book. Each character has a strong persona and the details of their lives were interesting -- one an aging rock star, another a reality television show producer, a housewife with a surprising kick butt past, and the other a judge. The twins as described will give you a few chills. In other words, lots of the unusual. The novel has some good twists and is surprisingly also sentimental and heartrending as well.
Thank you to the publisher for the e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend. I'd also highly suggest listening to the audiobook as well.
This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
