What Have We Done

Product Information

Twenty-five years ago 5 teenagers buried a secret in the grounds of Saviour House – a foster home for homeless teenagers – a place that was supposed to be a safe haven for children who were orphans or wards of the State but was not quite so. After all these years one of them is murdered and there have been attempts on the lives of the remaining four. It seems that someone knows what they did all those years ago. Five kids fighting against a monster storyline reminded me of Stephen King’s “IT” ! Their reunion after two decades later after one of them dies also the similar storyline! Tonight, after the show, you all have a choice to make,” Tom says. He spins around and fixes his gaze on Donnie. “It’s him or me.” I received AREs of What Have We Done from Minotaur Books in return for a fair review. Now, would you please tell that person who keeps following me to go away. Thanks, folks, and thanks to NetGalley for facilitating.

The lasting psychological, biological, spiritual, and social impact of perpetrating, failing to prevent, or bearing witness to acts that transgress deeply held moral beliefs and expectations. Good morning,” Jenna says with exaggerated cheeriness that would give even Simon a run for his money. Also interspersed through all this is a history of the “therapy” used to “help” returning troops readjust – from World War I, to Vietnam, and our current era.

The thumping continues and he manages to climb to his feet. Wearing only tighty-whities, he opens the door, and the light from the hallway sends another bullet through his skull. There’s my girl,” Simon says in his chipper morning voice. It’s one of the things Jenna adores about her husband, his unrelenting cheerfulness.

For me, my own recovery has followed a very specific structure - at each stage, informed by the books in my canon. The first stage was physical recovery from my wounds, and stabilizing my physical condition. During this time, I first became acquainted with Shays' Odysseus in America. That basically gave me a map for what to expect in my own homecoming journey. 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. That is until she meets the nerdy taxman, Simon, and became Stepmom to teenage Willow and five year old Lulu. 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.

Reviews

It’s a reunion none of them asked for or wanted. But one that may be the only way to save all their lives. Finlay’s novels] have earned him a reputation for producing suspenseful, fast-paced thrillers. As usual, his characters are well drawn, his writing is tight and vivid, and he keeps readers guessing with a series of twists and red herrings.” —Associated Press it was like ‘Okay, here are your papers, grab your stuff and get on the bus and go home,’” he said. “I was sitting there with my duffel bag, thinking that yesterday I was a battalion commander. Now I’m just another joe on the bus.” Other examples include healthcare professionals who have to make life and death treatment decisions based on administrative or financially oriented criteria rather than based on best practices. What Have We Done is a question with an answer that is known by at least three people, Jenna, Donnie, and Nico, forever bound together because of shared adolescent trauma. Twenty five years ago, they lived at Savior House in rural Chestertown, Pennsylvania. Albeit a comforting name but Savior House, “a group home for parentless teens,” was a hell-hole.

Donnie rushes into the ship’s performance hall and is greeted by several exasperated expressions, the most prominent from their singer, Tom Kipling. I’m married to an action-thriller movie buff, so even if I prefer my stories a little calmer, the occasional blood-pumping, edge-of-your-seat film can be fun. I think that’s why this book worked for me. It’s a straight-to-screen type of book. It’s got action, chills, thrills, peril, cat-and-mouse chases, threats, violence, corruption, characters overcoming the odds, contract killers, diverse characters, and once again some serious badass female energy! What Have We Done is both an edge-of-your-seat thriller and a gut-wrenching coming-of-age story. And it cements Alex Finlay as one of the new leading voices in thrillers today. Jenna- trained as an assassin as a teen (we don’t get that full story unfortunately) but has left that life behind, trying to build a normal family now This distinction is helpful in differentiating the complex experience of combat veterans (and the like) from people who suffer other kinds of crisis, trauma and disaster.
