2.25.2023 - What Have We Don

What Have We Done by Alex Finlay

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, Minotaur Books, and MacMillan Audio for gifting me a digital and audio ARC of the new thriller by Alex Finlay and narrated by Brittany Pressley; James Patrick Cronin; Jon Lindstrom; Maggie Thompson - 4 stars!

A group of teens meet at Savior House, a group home for those who have lost their parents.  But it definitely isn't a savior for them - there is rampant bullying and abuse along with several girls who go missing.  One night in the woods changes everything for the group.  Decades later, the group reunites because someone is trying to kill them.  

I'm a big fan of Alex Finlay and loved his first two novels.  This one gets 4 stars instead of 5 for those because it seemed a bit over the top and I couldn't quite get into the characters as much.  But it's non-stop action with plenty of twists to keep you turning the pages.  I was lucky enough to be able to switch between the digital and audio versions and the narration of the different characters was great.  The book is told from the POVs of three of the now-grown teens.  Definitely escapism reading and I'll be anxiously awaiting the next book from Finlay!
