LOVED! Alex Finlay never goes wrong. Want a book that will keep you reading? This is the one! Highly recommend to anyone

I enjoyed this book. I finished it in 2 or 3 days. I wasn't sure in the beginning how the characters were connected. It took a bit for all the pieces to come together. Once I knew that they were all in the same foster care home then I was trying to figure out who was behind all of it. I never figured it out. I was surprised by the ending. It ended on a cliff-hanger. There could be a sequel, but  I think it is a good ending just the way it is.

I really liked Jenna. She was my favorite character in the whole book. She was a freakin' bad ass. She gave me Reacher vibes, and I enjoyed the books and show.  Actually, if I remember correctly, she was inspired by Reacher among a few other awesome characters.

This book would be a great movie or mini series. Thank you @alexfinlayauthor , @minotaur_books & @netgalley. The book is out now and has been forever. I'm the worst bookstagrammer 😆 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you for the advanced copy of this book! I will be posting my review on social media, to include Instagram, Amazon, Goodreads, and Instagram!

I am a big Alex Finlay fan, but I feel like some of this was a bit confusing on the character plots too much back-and-forth, but it still was a good read for it to five

I read one book by this author that I liked and have subsequently read others like this one and I’m not much of a fan. This just was not for me which I k ew halfway through it was a bit much. Maybe for some just not me.

A gripping mystery thriller that explores the dark secrets and intertwined fates of five former residents of Savior House, a troubled group home. The novel weaves multiple perspectives and backstories, offering a suspenseful and fast-paced plot filled with twists and emotional depth, leading to a shocking and satisfying conclusion​.

This book was good from the beginning until the end, and when I got to the end I was still surprised as to who the killer was, as with the other crimes. The story begins when the characters are all in a group home and a crime is committed while they are there. Now as adults, they are all being brought back to the same town and same place but why? Slowly things are revealed chapter by chapter and when you think you know who it is you are wrong. It is an excellent book with excellent characters and very much worth the read.

3 people who are leading very different lives all share a deadly secret. The book starts out with what this deadly secret is.. But who is it?

Next thing you know, Jenna, Nico and Donnie are all being targeted. Jenna is threatened by a mystery women to take out a high profile target. If she doesn't do it her family will be killed.

Donnie is a wash up rock star on cruise with his band. But he is approached by a good looking woman and next thing you know his life is threatened.

Nico is working as a producer of a miner show. He was asked to meet one of the miners in the mine. But who is that coming off the elevator?

This was so well written that you have no idea who did it or the reasoning behind the 3 plus who Jenna tried to kill is being targeted. The characted development was spot on. The only character I felt we needed more from was Jenna. I wanted more of the time from the Savior house to present day. Like how was her life previous to all these events. Her character needs her own book. The twists at the end got me and I truly did not see that coming. Thank you Minotaur Books for the Advance Copy.

Jenna's story was by far the most interesting, but the other two were crazy too! This was a very fast paced read, it felt like a movie at times. Although the story can seem like it's a little bit out there at times it's fun to pretend it's plausible. I think the story was wrapped up too quickly but otherwise it was a quick and fun read!

As someone who recently read The Night Shift, I felt this book didn't quite hit the same way.

The main characters have stories that connect well and connect to their time at the group home in a way that creates emotion - but I felt not all the characters shared this.

The pacing was good and the ending was great!

A few years ago, I received Alex's Finlay's debut novel Every Last Fear which was absolutely amazing. I literally couldn't put it down; it was the actual definition of an "edge of my seat" thriller. So, when I picked this book up, I was a bit let down. For one: it felt far-fetched. I felt like I was on the set of a spy movie or something and it didn't have that raw real edge of thrillers I enjoy that make you feel like this could really happen.

The writing was good and easy to follow but the story was just a little too out there for my tastes. If you enjoy larger than life action stories, then you could probably really get into this one. It was easy to get lost in and I do recommend if you're looking for a little excitement to spice up your reading hour.

Unfortunately I tried and failed several times to get into this one. I wanted more from it than what we got.

An exciting and fast-paced mystery thriller that went in a direction I wasn't anticipating.

Twenty-five years ago, Ben, Jenna, Nico, and Donnie, survived their time as orphans in the horrible Savior House. After several other teens suddenly vanished from the home with no explanation, they made a grave decision and then escaped to go their separate ways. The kids put their abusive pasts behind them and went on to different lives, some more successful than others.

They come back together now because someone is trying to kill them after all these years. Who wants them dead, and why now. No spoilers.

This was action-packed and very entertaining. The narrative shifts in time from then to now and between the main characters in alternating points of view. As I listened to the audiobook while following along in the e-book, the story came alive with the various voices. A fine multicast performance that really enhanced the book. Each character has a strong persona and the details of their lives were interesting -- one an aging rock star, another a reality television show producer, a housewife with a surprising kick butt past, and the other a judge. The twins as described will give you a few chills. In other words, lots of the unusual. The novel has some good twists and is surprisingly also sentimental and heartrending as well.

Thank you to the publisher for the e=book ARC to read, review, and recommend. I'd also highly suggest listening to the audiobook as well.

Another twisty, action packed thriller from Finlay! I love his unique ability to pull you in right from the start, and giving a perfect amount of suspense in each chapter to keep you flying through the pages. Overall, I really enjoyed the story, the unique characters, and the twists, but I will say that I had a harder time following along with this one vs his other books. There were so many extra characters to keep track of, and it made me lose some steam trying to remember or figure out how they fit. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.

Thank you NetGalley and st. Martins press for my ARC in exchange for my honest feedback

Dnf. I tried to get into it but this was not my type of book. The premise sounded good and the opening held my attention but it ended up not being for me. Th writing was good though and I feel like a lot of people would like it.

Why have I waited so long to read novels by Alex Finlay? What Have We Done is a masterful cat and mouse thriller that keeps the reader on the edge of his or her seat the entire time.

Jenna, Benny, Nico, Donnie and Arty all grew up and moved away from a toxic foster care home, but it seems their past is catching up with them when out of the blue a mysterious woman is out to kill them all. Can they come together and figure out just what is happening before the hit woman takes them out one at a time?

One aspect of this novel that I loved was that while it was told from alternating character perspectives, the reader was pulled in to each story equally. It was not a situation where you skipped certain chapters, just so you could get back to another character's voice. Finlay kept the plot quick and the suspense high. I will definitely be reading more of his thrillers soon! Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for this opportunity to read What Have We Done.

This had a lot of characters and a lot of twists and turns. Kept me guessing most of the time even though none of the twists were too shocking. Sometimes it was hard to keep all of the characters straight but overall I thought it was average. If I could give half stars I would give it 3.5 but I’m rounding up to 4 for this review.

This book, like Finlay’s other titles, has a real cinematic feel. From page one, you’re sucked in, and you can’t stop turning the pages until you reach the conclusion. Loved the various characters and their secrets.

I had a hard time getting into the book. I have enjoyed other Alex Finlay books, but this did not match up for me.

I enjoy a lot of what Alex Finlay writes however this book missed the mark for me.

Twenty five years ago, Jenna, Donnie, and Nico were the best of friends, having forged a bond through the abuse and neglect they endured as residents of Savior House, a group home for parentless teens. When the home was shut down―after the disappearance of several kids―the three were split up.

Though the trauma of their childhood has never left them, each went on to live accomplished―if troubled―lives. They haven’t seen one another since they were teens but now are reunited for a single haunting reason: someone is trying to kill them.

To survive, the group will have to revisit the nightmares of their childhoods and confront their shared past―a past that holds the secret to why someone wants them dead.

While I liked some of the characters most of them were super unlikeable and I just couldn't connect with them. I think the story was good overall and pretty well plotted but ultimately I just didn't find myself super into the story and I didn't love the ending it just went a bit too off the rails for me.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for providing me a digital copy of this book in exchange for this honest review.
