It started out good but towards the middle a loving and very present mom and wife makes some mistakes with her family's safety that are just completely unbelievable. It kinda loses the intrigue when I know an intelligent person, like we have with Alex, makes this kind of mistake. A mother like her in real life, I don't believe, would ever put her family at risk the way the author had her do in this novel. I know this is fiction but to completely enjoy the read I need to relate actions to how a character has been built.
