I don't know how I feel about this one. It goes to some dark places. The set up was enthralling and hard to put down. But somewhere along the way it kind of lost me. I don't mind reading about morally grey characters, but every single person in this book is terrible. I was interested in reading about them, but it was hard to connect to ANY of them - except maybe the PI or the other parents in the missing child group.
By the time we got to the reveal with Sal, I thought the plot had gotten a little weak. I knew J.R. had to be some kind of twist because he was such a random side character. But I was still a little disappointed when it all got revealed how I thought it would. Still, I wanted to know the answers, and it wrapped up satisfyingly enough. And I was so, so glad that Sebastian ended up okay (though I wasn't convinced at any point that he was actually dead). Also, I don't like how easy Marin got off in the end - she hired a hit man to kill someone! She shouldn't be completely let off the hook! Anyway, I did enjoy the ride, but it didn't captivate me like some other thrillers had.
