After reading the preview of this I was really excited and had some high expectations. At points this story was good and confirmed my excitement however there were things that also lacked. For instance there is almost 3 different storylines and one just disappears for chapters in the middle of the book. It almost made me forget what was going on during this timeline. The whole terrorism timeline, which is one of the main ones during the entire book takes a major backseat near the end of the book and is wrapped up in just a few paragraphs. I did like the incorporation of the online lifestyle that most younger generations now take part in. It was almost 2 different but very true senarios that probably happen more often then we think. It shows just how easily people can be catfished online and how everything is not always real on the internet. I did really like Cole, the father in the story but other than that many of the characters seemed to be almost stereotypes. I don’t want to go into much regarding each character though. I just could not get into this one as much as I tried. There was one point where Amanda wanted to do outdoors activities and I did like that as it balanced out her character nicely. The narration was very well done and at this point I expect nothing less from Kevin Pierce. I have listened to many of his performances and he does bring the words to life. It was easy to tell which character was speaking throughout the book. He used lots of pauses and added urgency to his voice in those scenes that needed it. It was a job well done. Overall, I just thought that there could have been more to this book. Some parts were just getting interesting and then fell off the map part way through the book. I would have liked to see more randomness turn into coincidences and chaos. I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review VIA Audiobook Boom. This in no way affected my opinion.
