Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a great first book by an indie author about people who are thrust into a very bad situation and how they handle it and themselves. I liked the story line, it flowed smoothly and moved forward at a nice pace. It definitely made me wonder what I would do in that kind of situation; I'd probably do the same thing.I feel this book could have been a bit longer, the characters fleshed out a bit more. I wasn't sure who the main characters were out of -- Michael, Chet, Sara, Dogan, Jimmy and Frankie -- I cared about Michael, Sara and Chet though he was the kind of person most people hate and for good reason, but the book should have been longer for me to really care and see how the others grew from the bad situation they were put in. I wanted to care more for Michael and know what happened to him at the end. I didn't get a sense of how Dogan grew from the experience of having his girlfriend kidnapped and what he went through. How did it really affect him? Though I cared for Sara and felt for what she was going through, I really wanted to know about how she felt about what she had to do at the end.There were some very small, minor grammar/editing issues that beta readers could probably have caught, but overall I give this book 4.5 stars for a first book that did keep my attention and I wanted to know what happened all the way to the end.
