I did NOT want to put this book down! I participated in a buddy read with some wonderful ladies and without their support to stay on track, I’d have finished this one in a day!🅂🅈🄽🄾🄿🅂🄸🅂Dr. Anna Jones is a world class heart surgeon.

They kill her son. A life for a life. She has spent weeks preparing for this surgery and now she has to figure out a way to sabotage it. Her son’s life is worth more to her than her Hippocratic Oath…isn’t it?🅃🄷🄾🅄🄶🄷🅃🅂Y’all, Jack Jordan can WRITE. He kept me on the edge of my seat with the short chapters and multiple points of view.The ending felt a bit rushed but I hope that was to leave the possibility of a prequel or sequel. Maybe both?I highly recommend picking up a copy of this psychological thriller ASAP!

La trama es genial

Wow. Wow. Wow.🥳Finally a thriller I can give all 5 stars too, without feeling too generous.This was the most ants-in-pants, nail-biting and almost painfully suspenseful thriller, if I’ve ever seen one. I had the fortune to buddy read this with some fab bookstas and our conjectures were all over the place. When you can’t wait to chat about a book, just so you can go back and continue reading it is always a good sign.😉Brilliantly written and researched, with characters you’ll love to hate, angsty scenes that will have your heart pounding in your throat, short and snappy chapters that leave you with a cliffhanger of sorts so you  can’t wait to dive into the next chapter, desperate situations where you’re sure there is no way out, this book has everything you could want in a thriller and trust me, it will consume you until the very last page.Anna is a high-profile surgeon facing a difficult divorce while trying to balance her career with being a good mother. Who can’t relate? But that’s where the empathy ends. She also has an obsessive-compulsive stress disorder which causes her to pluck out her eyelashes or hair.When she is assigned to perform routine heart surgery on a local MP, her life begins to unravel. Her 8 year old boy is kidnapped and she is ordered to either kill the patient on the operating table or never see her son again.Need I say more?I can’t say there were any likeable characters in this book, but while it usually bugs me, I actually enjoyed how mean and selfish some of them were. You can’t really side with anyone in this story, but I thought that was quite brilliant.It’s just one of those books you need to jump in blind, sit back with some pop-corn and read like you’re watching ‘Mission Impossible’!😆

All you have to do is complete one simple task and you will get him back unharmed…. You just kill Ahmed Shamir in the operating table in two days time….if you fail to kill the patient, your son will die in his place.”Book overview:It follows the story of Anna, a heart doctor that has to kill a high profile patient in order to get her abducted son back. If she doesn’t…bad thing will happen.You will love it if you enjoy:👥 Multiple POVs💊 Medical based books🌪️ Multiple twists and turns⏳ Dual TimelinesMy review:Fun, thrilling and full of great surprises! This was such a wonderful read and an easy 4.5 stars for me and definitely won’t be my last Jack Jordan book.If the book summary doesn’t hook you enough, through the story, we also see multiple POVs on the same timeline which was so unique and fun. This book was medically interesting, had a great plot line and kept my attention. My heart was POUNDING through a couple of scenes. It very much gives me vibes of “The Chain” by Adrian McKinty, so if you loved that one, check this out. I will say there were a few characters that missed the mark for me, but overall this is such a must read in my opinion! I loved it! I feel like anyone that has children would have a hard time being in Anna’s position. What would and wouldn’t we do for our kids? What would YOU do?

One of my favorite authors. He always has you on the edge of your seat. Thrilling stories and great characters!
