Great, fast paced story with lots of twists and turns. Hooked from page 1. Definitely add this to your 2023 TBR list.

Thank you#netgalley and #stmartinspress #minatour books for the eARC.

Yet again Alex Finlay has written something I love. What have we done was a twist and turn book that I will deff get to put on my shelf.

Lots of twists and turns in this one! The former residents of the Savior House children's home are all grown up, but none of them has forgotten their terrible experiences there. A group of them did something terrible one night and while they have all kept their silence about what happened, someone is attempting to kill the members of the group who were involved. Even though 25 years have passed, someone is apparently not willing to let them get away with what they did.

Jenna is now a suburban soccer mom, but she has a shadowy past as an assassin for an organization called The Corporation. She's been "retired" for a while, so she is confused when she is contacted by someone with an order to do a new job. While carrying out the instructions, she realizes that she herself might be the target. Nick is now a TV presenter with a severe gambling addiction that has him indebted to some organized crime figures. Donnie, who found success with a rock band, is an alcoholic and drug addict whose life was spiraling out of control even before someone attempts to kill him. Then there's Ben, Donnie's best friend and now a judge, who recently was murdered. Arty, the oddball of this group, has become one of the richest men on the planet due to his tech wizardry, so when he attempts to get everyone together to figure out what's going on, the rest of the group is only too eager to agree.

The chapters are very short and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep us guessing! The chapters alternate points of view among the various characters and there is a final unexpected twist at the end. Great fun!

I have enjoyed two of Alex Finlay's recently published books and this third one was no exception. Three very different people share a past and a deep, dark secret. Someone else knows and is haunting the three main characters. Who is it? You may guess right but I sure didn't. Full of twists and turns you won't expect, I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes twisty thrillers. A another fast paced, interesting read by Finlay.

This is my 3rd book by this author and while I am sure people will say it is predictable, I absolutely love the way the story unfolds. I love the then and now perspectives told from multiple point of views in order to piece together the story.

While I liked this book just fine, unfortunately I just didn't find myself connecting to the main characters. It just didn't feel like there was much character development happening. The short chapters made it super easy to get through this book though. Another thing was that this book was pretty predictable, but it's also very action-packed. The beginning of this story was the strongest point in my opinion. It slowed down in the middle, but towards the end it picked back up. Overall I give this book 3.5 stars & I'm looking forward to reading more of Alex Finlay's work.

This was fast-paced and full of action. It starts off with a group of teens from the same foster home shooting into a shallow grave. Fast forward 25 years, and three of them come together because someone is out to kill them.

Is this the most believable story? No, but it's interesting enough that you want to find out what happened and who's behind it all. A couple of parts were predictable and the story seemed to drag for just a tiny bit, but it was still good and I could not put it down.

This was my first Alex Finlay book and I'm excited to read more by this author.

CW: death, addiction, child abuse

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Such a great book!
Raw and thrilling!
I thoroughly enjoyed!
I'll definitely be recommending this one to friends!

I loved Alex Finlay's NIGHT SHIFT and EVERY LAST FEAR. This book was my least favorite because I felt it had too many characters and the pace dragged in some areas.
The book follows a group of adults that shared the same foster house in the past.
The story changes between what happened in their youth to their current predicaments.

What a twisty little gem of chaos this is!

So many shady characters throughout this story. It took me awhile to even fully comprehend what actually went down and who did what. If I’m honest, I’m still trying to wrap my head around most of it.

Overall, a good fast read. It kept me intrigued and needing to know what happened next.

Eh. That's how I feel after reading this. Eh.

Five friends who met at a house for orphaned children are finding themselves hunted by ruthless assassins.
One is a stay at home mom trying to get out of the violent life, one is a former washed up rock star, one is a tv producer and another is a tech billionaire. The last is a judge who has recently been murdered.

For whatever reason, I started getting bored with the storyline. It just seemed really drawn out and to keep dragging on. There were also a lot of characters to keep track of.

I've heard great things about this author so I will check out some of his other work. But this one was not for me.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

One sentence synopsis: Four friends from a abusive childhood group home having suddenly become targets of an assassination attempt and have to reunite and re-live their traumatic past to save their lives.
OK, Wow! This book starts off with a BANG! Quite literally! 😆
It's extremely fast=paced, with extremely short chapters, so it makes you fly through the book! Fast-paced and short chapters are my thing so I adored this from the beginning.
When I was 8% into the book, my mind was reeling from the non-stop action! I felt as if I was watch an action-packed movie-and that's exactly what this book reminded me of.
If you're a fan of action and adventure movies, you will love this book. However, this book does tend to be a little far-fetched sometimes, so keep that in mind.
Hence why I hacked off a star. Some things were just SO out-there, almost comical, and there was barely a plot, just a heck of a lot of action.
So if you're looking for a thriller with a great twist or scandal, skip this. However, if you're a fan of James Patterson and Alex Cross, pick this up! You'll love it.

Alex Finlay does it again with his latest thriller, "What Have We Done." While it didn't quite live up to his two previous works, I still enjoyed this novel, which had a touch more of a action packed plot. Without giving too much away, three previous residents of a group home are now adults, and are being hunted down for reasons unknown to them. Our three main characters, Jenna, Donnie, and Nico must fight for their lives as they hide secrets from their past and figure out who is after them.

I really enjoyed the pacing of the book, it was always pushing me to squeeze in one more chapter to try and figure out the mystery. The book was told from a few different perspectives, and would sometimes flip between present and past within a chapter itself. I really enjoyed chapters from Jenna's perspective, however other characters chapters were a bit slower for me and not as exciting. I also wish there had been a bit more of build-up with their past from the Savior House to have a better reference points for other characters, and to understand why our main characters are the way they are. Overall it was a win for me, and I look forward what Alex Finlay has in store for us in the future!

Wow this thriller really starts off with a bang! Zero to sixty in like, 12 pages. And it doesn't let up! I devoured it. I won't give away too much in my synopsis, because I always prefer to go into thrillers without a lot of background info...

The story follows three main characters who haven't seen one another in 25 years, each with very different paths through life. But someone, apparently, is trying to kill them all, and they'll need to come together to figure out how to fend off these attacks before it's too late.

Like I said before, this one is fast-paced from the very beginning, with short chapters from each character's perspective. I can't say I was super surprised by the reveal of the killer, but I enjoyed the ride and think the ending was satisfying. A great quick read! And I always appreciate reading about my hometown/area (DC metro) written by an author who actually lives there.

Thank you to Alex Finlay, Minotaur / St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC!

What Have We Done is about a group of adults, who are being targeted due to something they did in their past.

This was a fast paced thriller but for some reason I had a hard time keeping track of what was going on. It felt a little mismatched. There were some twists and turns I didn’t see coming but it wasn’t overly shocking.

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martins Press for the advance copy of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

Everything about this book was fantastic. I couldn't put it down. I read waaaaay past my bedtime. But the characters were the best part. Excellent. A must read.

Are you kidding me?!? This was so good. I didn't think the last novel from Alex finlay could be topped but I loved this story even more. The characters had me flying through the story to see what happened. Loved the back and forth plots, so damn good! Highly highly recommend! Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

This was a very exciting book and quite a page turner. I found I could not wait to get back to it to find out what would happen next. The insights into the lives of the characters were developed very well and it was a wonderful plot! I will be recommending this book to readers when it is published!!

Wow this is unlike Alex Finlay’s other novels! What Have We Done follows Jenna, Nico, & Donnie friends from childhood. There’s mention of the tv show Nikita and yes it’s so fitting - it is action packed from the start! Thanks to Minotaur Books and NetGalley for a copy!

Fantastic mystery. I always enjoy these as they have multiple points of view and short chapters. I flew through this one and highly recommended if you enjoy Alex Finlay.
