What Have We Done by Alex Finlay
4.0

Many thanks to my partners at @macmillan.audio and minotaur_books for the #gifted copies.  
 
Pop that corn and get ready to be entertained. The past seeks its revenge in Finlay’s newest thriller. 
 
Years ago, friends at an orphanage did the unthinkable  Now, all this time later, a contract killer is hunting each one down.  But who hired the hitman?  And who, if any, will survive?
 
There’s no doubt Finlay can pen a binge-worthy popcorn thriller.  I was captivated from the beginning and couldn’t stop reading until I knew!  His writing is faced paced and electrifying.  
 
Out of all the characters, Jenna was my favorite.  I loved the juxtaposition between her past and present.  I found myself racing through other POVs to get back to hers.  I’d have loved an entire story based off of her alone. 
 
As the tension builds, so does the need to suspend belief.  And as action packed as the book is, the ending fell a bit flat to me.  
 
Because of that, I didn’t love this one as much as I have Finlay’s previous works.  But I’ll still be the first to grab his next release.  
 
🎧 I love a good full cast narration, and this one did not disappoint!  Brittany Pressley (a fav), James Patrick Cronin, Jon Lindstrom, and Maggie Thomas made this already explosive storyline even more dynamic.  Definitely grab the audio for this one.
