I loved this book! I have been a fan of Harlan Coben's writing for a long time so I went into this book with some really high expectations. This book easily met every one of those expectations. It was one of those books that grabbed me from the very first page and didn't let go until the very end. I had a fantastic time reading this story.

It was one of those books that grabbed me from the very first page and didn't let go until the very end. I had a fantastic time reading this story.

When I pick up a book written by Harlan Coben, I expect a lot of twists and turns and always hope for a few jaw-dropping moments. This book kept me guessing until the very end. There were times that I thought I had everything figured out but then something would be revealed and I would realize that I knew so much less than I thought I did. There were some turns in the book that seemed to come out of nowhere because I wasn't expecting them but they made perfect sense once they took place. I love the way Mr. Coben is able to craft a story that is almost impossible to put down.

This is the story of a family. A story of a family that has been torn apart by drug abuse. Simon's daughter, Paige, is an addict who is no longer living with the family. Simon is willing to do anything to help his daughter and get her back. When he sees her signing in a local park, he tries to reach her but things go wrong in a very big way. Simon becomes even more determined to get to his daughter and his journey to find her will take him on an adventure he doesn't expect.

When I read a thriller like this, I always think about what I would do if I were in the character's position. I think that Simon's willingness to do whatever it took to save his daughter rang true and I found his character easy to relate to. I felt that all of the characters felt really authentic even when they were up to no good. I think that it takes a lot of talent to create a story with some many complex layers and realistic characters.

I would highly recommend this book to others. This was a thriller filled with twists and turns that I found impossible to put down. I cannot wait to read more of Harlan Coben's work in the future!

I received a review copy of this book from Grand Central Publishing.

Initial Thoughts
I loved this book! Once I started reading this book, I was hooked and didn't want to put it down. I couldn't guess which direction the story would take at any given time and I was really eager to see how things would work out. There were a lot of twists and turns that were expertly executed as I have come to expect from Harlan Coben. ...more

Coben is a craftsman. Like all of his books that I have read, this one is as immaculately engineered and smooth as a Mercedes. No unnecessary description or digression: each line is there for a reason, although that reason may not become apparent until later in the book. Well paced: once you climb aboard the roller coaster it just keeps going with unstoppable momentum until you get to the end. It switches back and forth between apparently unconnected story lines, but this is Harlan Coben so you ...more
