From the first page of Parents Weekend, I was hooked—and Alex Finlay never let go. This is everything I love in a thriller: an ominous setting, complex characters, and secrets that unravel at just the right pace. The college campus backdrop layered with the emotional stakes of missing students and panicked parents adds an intense and relatable urgency.

The alternating points of view kept me on my toes, and just when I thought I had it figured out… plot twist! Finlay knows how to weave suspense and emotion masterfully, giving us characters we care about while pulling us deeper into the mystery.

It’s chilling, timely, and impossible to put down. Highly recommend for fans of smart, character-driven thrillers that make your heart race and your mind spin.
