This book was on my #TBR for a while. I wasn’t sure how I would go, I tend to get a bit nervous about plot lines revolving around kids, but this one just had such an interesting concept. The Chain is a kidnapping ring that goes way back. The idea, you get “chosen” to pay a ransom & kidnap a kid, if successful *your* kidnapped child gets returned alive. 🙍🏻‍♀️ It went against every moral fiber of my being as a person & as a parent… it was one of those books that kept me on an anxious precipice, but I was unable to step away from the edge. 
I didn’t dislike the second part the way some seemed to. It was predictable, but it didn’t take away from the book for me.
