*MY THOUGHTS*

I said I wasn’t going to write a review about this because I wasn’t sure what to say. I basically was just going to be like: READ IT. But definitely not if you’re traveling anytime soon. lol I’m not kidding, this book stressed me tf out. In other words, I loved it.

It’s just like any other day when you’re traveling. You’ve just boarded a plane to New York. What you don’t know is this flight is different than any other flight you’ve ever been on. Because the captain’s family was kidnapped 30 minutes before the flight started and in order for them to live, everyone on the flight must die. The pilot must crash the plane. What do you think he would choose? Good luck.

This book was AMAZING. I heard there were many different books that talk about planes being hi-jacked, but I’ve never read them. So this was my first one to read and when I tell you I couldn’t stop! OMG. I could have read this in one day if I had had the time. It was just that good. I was STUCK in this book and I’m not even ashamed. This book is nonstop action and you’ll have no choice but to push through and finish it. Because if you’re like me, you’ll be thinking of this whenever you’re not reading it.

I really liked the way she did her storytelling. Like us being able to see what was happening on the ground and what was happening in the air as well. It was definitely cool. We didn’t miss out on anything. And considering we had characters in all areas of this book? I really enjoyed being able to see how every part was being played out. Yeah it may have been a plot point, but whatever. I enjoyed it.

And then there was the plot. THERE ARE NO BREAKS. Like I said, make sure you have some time when you’re reading this because you won’t want to stop. I didn’t even fall asleep when my son did because I wanted to stay up tp finish it. And you know what they say as a new mom, “sleep when the baby does.” So basically, make sure you have nothing else to do when you read this. There are no breaks in the plot until the end.

The only thing I didn’t care for was the narrator. They weren’t that great. They weren’t bad, but they didn’t do anything at all to stand out either. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t boring by any means, but I still think in the end it was just ok. Luckily it didn’t really take away from the experience.

This book was ALOT. And it was worth all the time I spent reading it. I really hope anyone that’s on the fence with this one just goes ahead and reads it! You won’t be sorry!

Overall, I give this
