This book will keep your attention. There are twists and turns throughout. The five main characters are complex. Their shared background binds them together, as does an act they perform together (as told in the beginning of the novel). . Was it worthy of all “the hype?” Not in my opinion. Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for Sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. #WhatHaveWeDone, #NetGalley,

Thank you to NetGalley and Alex Finlay for my honest feedback and review.

Unfortunately this book did not hit as a mystery or thriller. In the very beginning we're told what happened. None of the characters had any real depth to them. It felt like I was reading an abridged version of someone's character line ups for their future books. I wish I could give this more stars but this was just not the book for me.

Secrets from the past never seem to stay buried and for the characters in this book, someone is now trying to kill them. It's 25 years later and these friends who grew up with a traumatic childhood and survived a group home for parentless teens, it has become a life-or-death situation because of something they did in the past. This book is intense with nonstop action. I felt for each of the characters even though I didn't necessarily agree with their choices. This one will keep you on the edge of your seat turning pages as fast as you can read.

Wow!! I loved this book. Alex Finlay is an auto buy author for me and this one didn't disappoint. I couldn't put it down. It kept me guessing the whole time.

This fast paced thriller kept me guessing to the very end. I got hooked immediately and couldn’t put it down. I liked how each of the different characters’ stories came together at the end. I enjoyed the fact that I didn’t figure out the ending ahead of time. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

This was a highly anticipated book release from an author I always enjoyed. Told in three voices.. well, I guess four if I count the twins’ little excerpts here and there.

Main characters, Jenna, Donnie and Nico had secrets they tried to forget from when they were young. Yet, it seems like that secret has come back from the dead to haunt them.

I love this fast paced, who-dunnit vibe with highly psychotic troubling thoughts of some killer! But, coming from this author, it felt a little short and shallow and forced. Readers might hate me for this and I believe its because I have expected a bit much. Don’t get me wrong, this thriller still make you stop and think and look behind your back. If you are reading in a dark room, you will get up and turn the lights on. I just wanted something more intense towards the end, revelation wise.

I do love Jenna! I feel like she is the heart and muscles of this book. Thank you Minotaur Nooks via Netgalley for the advance ecopy in exchange of my honest review.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for my audio review copy in exchange for an honest review! I really enjoy Alex Finlay’s thrillers! They are always fast paced, full of twists that you don’t see coming, and hard to guess the ending! His one was no exception! The chapters were short, which adds to the overall atmosphere of the story, and is perfect for thrillers. My only drawback, was there were many POV’s which made it hard to keep track of what was going on

4.5 stars rounded up to 5 for this incredible mystery/thriller! I am a big fan of Alex Finlay's previous books: The Night Shift and Every Last Fear. He is an autobuy author for me, and I was excited to get this one. It doesn't disappoint.

The story focuses on three characters: Jenna, Donnie, and Nico. They were together when they were kids in a foster home called Saviour House. They endured things that no child should. Make sure that you check this story for trigger warnings. They each got out, and grew up to become adults with careers. As this book begins, they are each separately attacked. This sets up an inevitable meeting that brings old memories and new characters into the story. This is a fast-paced thriller that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. It also has a great epilogue.

This book really develops all of the characters. Their backstories are interesting, and the reader really becomes invested in each of their outcomes. There is also a set of frightening twins, but I will let you find out about them on your own.

As I have said before, Alex Finlay is an autobuy author for me. However, I was lucky to get an advanced reader copy of this book. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this book - I really appreciate it! I highly recommend this book as well as The Night Shift and Every Last Fear!

I’m a thriller fanatic, and this book definitely met my standards! This book grabs your attention right from the beginning which I absolutely love. The author thoroughly keeps the reader engaged and I loved the twist at the end.

Thank you so much @minotaur_books @netgalley for my complimentary digital book. I was thrilled to receive this!
My thoughts are my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed this intense thriller!

One summer, a group of teenagers does something terrible, but it is something that they believe is necessary; and then they vow never to talk about it.

Twenty-five years later, Jenna, Donnie, and Nico have each moved on to live productive lives. But they have never forgotten their troubled youths. They are no longer in touch, but suddenly, someone is trying to kill them and they reunite to find out what is going on. Soon, they find themselves in a deadly situation involving blackmail, murder, assassins, and deception. Could the killer be one of them, or someone who knows the truth?

The main characters were vulnerable and likable! I did not want any one of them to be the killer! The action was nonstop. The chapters alternated viewpoints and I was equally invested in each storyline. The conclusion was perfect and what I have come to expect from this author.

I truly could not put this book down!

Read this if you enjoy thrillers that keep you turning the pages to see what happens next!

This book was certainly nothing if not action packed!

- This book pulls you in right from the start by dropping you into a murder scene, we then flash to years later, and certainly are intrigued and wondering what happened. Mystery!
- Donnie's character was probably the most developed of the bunch and what we did get to know of him was well written.
- This was so fast paced that it keeps your interest throughout, lots going on.
- I do wish Donnie had more of a self-realization/redemption arc, but there's something to be said for the fact that he changed through the experience but is still himself (even if that is a total rockstar persona that'll never get clean) that works.

Overall, I love Alex's writing and complex ideas and will continue to check out titles from this author.

Short synopsis: A stay at home mom, reality TV star, and a cruise ship singer all have a shared past. When they are all targeted by someone trying to murder them, 25 years later they’ve realized their past has come to haunt them.

My thoughts: This was very bingeable, the writing was done in such a way I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next, and I loved the short chapters.

It started out strong, and I enjoyed Jenna’s character being a stay at home mom with a past in assassination. I think out of the different perspectives hers was my favorite.

I didn’t see the twist coming, but I felt like the beginning grabbed my attention so fast and towards the end I was less interested. I did feel like the flashbacks could have been done better, I found myself struggling to figure out if i was in the current timeframe or the past.

That being said, I will definitely continue to read books by this author because I have enjoyed them so far.

Read if you love:
* Bingable thrillers
* Orphan stories
* Adults with a past
* Short chapters
* Multiple stories converging

3.5/5 stars
TW: Bullying, human trafficking

25 years ago, a group of best friends living at a group home for parentless teens, committed a crime leading to a secret they all swore would never come to light. Eventually when the home shut down due to the disappearance of several teens, Jenna, Artemis, Benny, Nico, and Donnie all went their separate ways in life: Jenna is now a housewife stepmother to two girls, Donnie a down on his luck rockstar, Benny a judge, Nico a reality TV star and Artemis a billionaire inventor. After all these years their worst fear is now reality: someone knows what they did, and is coming for them one by one.

This story is told in three POV’s: Jenna’s, Nico’s, and Donnie’s. Out of the three, I was the most invested in Jenna. I really enjoyed that the majority of this story took place in Washington, D.C. it was VERY fast paced and action packed giving me Taylor Adams vibes in the way it was written. I had previously read “The Night Shift” by Alex Finlay and this story felt very different plot and writing style wise. The story was easy to follow however at some times during a particular character’s POV, they would have flashbacks and it was a little difficult to determine when it was a flashback or in the present due to the sudden jump. I did predict the main twist but there are more throughout the story did surprise me. Realistic wise, the plot was a little far-fetched but it is a work of fiction and kept me invested throughout. I also wish we could have seen a little more character development, it was a little tough trying to connect with these characters. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This title is now available to purchase!

This is a story about a group of troubled teenagers in a foster home - the damage from your past that can linger, and the power of long lasting connections forged in childhood.
Two of my favorite storytelling mechanisms are a non-linear timeline and multiple POVs- this book had both.
The author really led me along in the web he spun. I did not guess where he was going until we got there.

I love books that come out the door running, and don’t stop. What Have We Done is one of those books, and holds you hostage until the end. I dare you to try and not finish it in one sitting!
The book starts off with a murder, then multiple murder attempts, and ends with more murder. Lol. It’s truly a great thriller. All the murders, even the attempted ones, are creative. Finlay has some fresh ideas that we have been missing in thrillers for a while. Even one of the murder weapons, a cattle prod, is new. I loved it!
I can’t get over the pace of the story. It never let up! It’s been too long since a thriller has actually been this thrilling. I can’t recommend it enough.

What Have We Done is a gripping mystery that twists and turns as it develops the story of its list of characters. The story follows a group of friends who met at Savior House, a foster home for teens. The story jumps between the present, where the friends appear to be hunted by a mysterious killer, and the past that explains their upbringing that lead them to where they are now. The story flows betweens different character perspectives and timelines effortlessly to keep the intensity high. The story does a good job of pacing the story and never allowing you to feel sure who you can trust. However, sometimes the flashbacks felt forced and didn't progress the story effectively. I also felt that even though the stakes of the story were high, sometimes the pacing made it feel less impressive. Overall I enjoyed this book and the twists and various perspectives kept it interesting throughout.

This books has three POVs and jumps between different timelines at times; the way it was executed sometimes made me confused but overall this was a good read and lots of action, excitement and mystery. Thank you #NetGalley for the #ARC!

This was an action-packed, fast-paced, mystery/Thriller that held my attention from start to finish!

This book follows 3 adults who were once friends at the Savior House and dives into a crime they committed 25 years ago.

Someone is out to get them, and someone wants them all dead. Jenna, Nico, and Donnie set out on their own paths to figure out what's going on and who it is. They're reunited in the old town they all met in and think they know who wants them all dead, but do they really?

This book went back and forth between all 3 POVs, with a couple of chapters thrown in from the killers' POV. It did go back and forth between past and present, and that got confusing a couple of times, but nothing to throw me off too much! There wasn't much character development, and I didn't really fall in love with any of them, but the fast pace of the book kept me wanting to know what happened!

There was a little twist at the end. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I didn't!!

If you like action-packed, fast-paced reads, check this one out!

Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the Advanced Readers Copy.

This is my first time reading any of Alex Finlay's work. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this book. The book did seem a little bit too long, as I think some of the plot points could of been shortened, but overall the story was really good. I didn't care for any of the characters, but a lot of them were not lovable anyway so they were written nicely. I thought I had the ending figured out... turns out I was wrong!

Thanks Netgalley!

YES YES YES I love all of Alexs books. When I saw this on here, I immediately requested. Five kids all made it out of a horrendous group-home as teenagers. Although severely scarred mentally from the experience they all became rather successful in their own fields of choice. But now someone is trying to kill each one of them. I am a huge lover of short chapters so this made me love this one even more. I know some people didn't care for this everyone has different likings but for me it was def a 5! Get your hands on it.
