Not one I'd have picked but am racing through it. I've predicted the baddies, let's see if I'm correct!
Just started this book and it is timely…a school shooting where no one comes to help…for three hours. This book was written in 2020😳
A gripping thriller which gave me strong feelings throughout it. 3.75/5 Read for #whateveryouwantathon also as a patreon buddy read.
A good read, kept me reading right to the end. So many twists and different turns. A school is under siege!!!!
Next up on kindle. I love a good thriller and this one has great reviews so I‘m hoping for the best!
As a thriller I enjoyed it this; the story of a school under siege told from the different perspectives of those involved. It‘s timely and plays into issues currently making headlines. One the one hand it‘s a fast paced page turner, on the other you are watching things unfold in awful slow motion. However given the subject, and current times making me feel a bit fragile, I nearly had to stop a couple of times, yet it kept reeling me back in.
Having read other reviews I‘m definitely an outlier in hating this book. For me it was the most middle class, goodies and baddies, polite book of school shootings. I wish the author had been brave enough to reflect the very likely casualties and not gone for a happily ever after, all getting their comeuppance type story.
