Alex Finlay has done it again writing such a riveting story. A rollercoaster from the first page ; I ended up reading this al in one sitting. I did not wanna sit my tablet down for a moment. I am so grateful for this ARC and am excited to buy this and put it on my shelf.

I enjoyed this fast-paced novel so much, I read it in one sitting. This is the first novel that I have read by this writer, and it won't be my last. I enjoyed getting to know the three main characters and events told through their POVs. The many plot twists kept me on my toes and kept me guessing. I look forward to reading Alex Finlay's other books.

"Twenty five years ago, Jenna, Donnie, and Nico were the best of friends, a bond forged as residents of Savior House, an abusive 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 successful, 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 save their lives, the group will have to revisit the nightmares of their childhoods and confront their past―a past that holds the secret to why someone wants them dead." Publisher's Excerpt

This book is a wonderful read. I was hooked from the beginning as alternative perspective narrative is my absolute favorite. I thought the characters were well-written, the settings were atmospheric, and the dialogue was engaging. While I did only give it four stars, it's more due to the fact that I really try to give five stars to the VERY BEST books, rather than any negative reflection on Finlay's novel. I recommended it to several other reviewers and have suggested it to other friends to snatch up when it becomes available.

I have to say that the best part of this book was the ending, even though it progressed so fast it was almost a let-down when it occurred. The twists the ending took were actually not even on my radar and so I was pretty impressed with the author's ability to get one over on me! This is a great read and I'm really looking forward to the next work by Alex Finlay.

I was provided an ARC by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review of this work.

My first book by this author and not my last, this was a fun read. This book is twisty& action pack in the best way possible to the point there was never a moment when reading this that I thought I was bored. I would recommend this book to lovers of thrillers, short chapters, and action packed books.

Wow! This was nonstop action from the start! Kept me engaged throughout. Easy to follow different perspectives. Couldn’t put it down. Suspense and mystery, what more could you want? Good twists and a satisfying ending. Highly recommend!

I finished Alex Finlay's [book:What Have We Done|60784578] in one day! This book is labeled as a thriller/suspense and it definitely has MANY twists and turns! My overall rating of the book is a 3.5 leaning towards 4 stars and I will explain below!

First of all, a quick synopsis: 25 years ago, a group of kids in a group home for orphaned teenagers made a decision that would alter not only their lives but those around them. We meet the characters at that 25 year future mark and get a glimpse at the seemingly successful lives. The past comes back to haunt them full force and not all of them make it to the end.

What I liked: Alex Findlay does a wonderful job of choreographing an intricate story that is both complex and easy to follow and remember previously learned details. His writing style and attention to tethering the past and present well makes this such a fluid book to read. When I read a thriller, I hate when plot twists become too obvious either through cliche or an overabundance of foreshadowing. While I was able to predict SOME of the twists, others were able to completely shock me.

What I disliked: Most of the chapters that cut to the twins were over the top in a way that I would equate to a macho action movie. It was 1) a complete vibe shift from the rest of the book and 2) took me out of feeling that seamless weaving that was building with all of the other characters chapters. I also was unable to completely wrap my imagination into every single child growing up to be insanely talented and/or famous. In some ways this detracted from the overall story as it seemed too fantastical.

In the end, I went into this book expecting a thriller and suspense book. While those components were definitely there, I would classify this as more of an action novel. This book gave me more Die Hard type vibes than what I would traditionally consider a thriller or suspense novel.

This book was a complimentary ARC through NetGalley and St. Martin's Press/Minotaur books and Alex Findlay and was provided in exchange for an unbiased review.

This book was a wild, intense ride! I couldn't put the book down because I had to know what would happened at the end. I couldn't help but think of what actually happened to thr missing kids and who was behind it all but I was totally wrong.

Jenna, Nico, and Donnie were in a group home called Savior House when they were children. They were bullied, threatened, and scared for their lives. Then one night they decide to fight back and it ends with the words "what have we done?". Now twenty-five years later, each one is in danger and running for their lives from a sadistic killer. As they fight to survive, they try to find out who knows what and which one of them is next.

From beginning to end, this was a wild, action-packed ride. This was not what I was expecting from this author but it was such a good surprise. It was one of those stories that I pictured as a movie as I read it and an amazing movie at that. Each character had their flaws but they also had more likable, good traits to go along with them. The only thing I didn't care for was the number of times the characters would "tap eyes", it was stated a bit too much for me. Otherwise, I absolutely loved yet another one from this author and cannot wait for the next one.
Four Solid Stars.

4/5 stars - this was a solid thriller with some strong characters. I liked this much better than The Night Shift and would recommend to anyone looking for a well crafted thriller.

I feel like I have whiplash from this book. This is a twisty thrilling page turner that kept me engaged. This was my first book by the author but I will definitely be moving his others up on my TBR. While there were a few clunky moments with the dual timeline, this was action packed read that I will definitely recommend.

Wow another great read by Alex Finlay. Lovced the full and complex characters. I felt like I was a part of the story. Lots of tension twists and turns.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book

Alex Finlay is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I like the way his stories unfold and I always really connect with his characters and find them to be believable.. I can totally see What Have We Done being made into a movie or television series. Fast paced and action packed.
I would like to thank the author, net galley and the publishers for an ARC of What Have We Done in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book was action packed & stressful! It wasn't my favorite Alex Finlay but I still enjoyed it. Thank you for the ARC!

Let me preface this by saying I did not hate it. It wasn’t a bad book, BUT there were some things that really irked me. I was primarily bothered by how the flow of the book went. There was no notation, no indication at all of when a flashback would occur. You just would figure it out half way through the scene. I HATED THAT. I kept having to go back and reread. I would also prefer if the chapters were labeled by the name of the person’s POV we are reading from, but that’s more of a personal preference. Alas, this is an ARC and maybe those things will change in the final copy 🤞🏽

I think this story could have been 3 books, at least! There was a lot of history to unpack but not enough time to truly explore it. It felt a tad rushed. I did enjoy the actual storyline, but it took me a long time to feel invested.

If you like mysteries or thrillers you might enjoy this one!

This is my first book by this author and I loved it. I love the short chapters and multiple POV thanks NetGalley and the publisher for this arc

I received an advance copy from NetGalley. Alex Finlay has done it again! RUN, don’t walk to get this book when it comes out. I loved this book just as much as his 2 other ones. I loved that each chapter was a different character and I loved all the characters. I could not stop reading this book, The twist was crazy good!!

This was a hard one for me. I’m a big fan of The Nigh Shift by Finlay and I also enjoy thrillers. What Have We Done was very different from both of those for me. It was definitely action packed but read more like an action movie than the psychological thrillers I usually enjoy. This isn’t to say the book was bad by any means. The short chapters were great and some of the characters fascinated me. This book will absolutely find its audience, it was unfortunately not me.

Thank you to the author and publisher for the ARC book in exchange for an honest review.

Another wonderful read from Alex Finlay! The characters were all really interesting, and the whodunnit (referencing To Kill a Mockingbird, no less) had me guessing until the end. I really enjoy Alex Finlay’s books and have yet to read one that wasn’t thoroughly enjoyable. What Have We Done was thoroughly suspenseful and addictive and I’m actually quite disappointed that I’ve finished it. I can’t wait for Finlay’s next one.

This book follows 4 adults who are being tracked down and someone is trying to kill them. The only thing that connects them is their past. Can they figure out who is doing this to them and why????

I enjoyed the chapters each following separate characters. The ending was a big twist and I loved it!

What a wild ride! This was my first Alex Finlay book and it won’t be my last. I loved how the book went from present to past through organic memories coming up. The character development was so strong and I felt like I understood where everyone was coming from.
