Three disparate lives.
One deadly secret.
Twenty five years ago, Jenna, Donnie, and Nico were the best of friends, having forged a bond through the abuse and neglect they endured as residents of Savior House, a 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 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. To survive, the group will have to revisit the nightmares of their childhoods and confront their shared past--a past that holds the secret to why someone wants them dead. It's a reunion none of them asked for . . . or wanted. But it may be the only way to save all their lives. 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.

What Have We Done? A question asked several times by a group of kids that were all residents in a group home during their teenage years. Girls are going missing from the group home and Jenna, Artie, Nico, Benny and Donny think they know who is behind the disappearances... when the cops don't help, they take matters into their own hands. This event is the catalyst to everything else that takes place in this book.
I really really enjoyed this title! I love mystery/thriller type books with multiple POVs. This one definitely had me guessing until the VERY end. Once you think you have something figured out, the rug gets ripped right out from under you!

I LOVE thrillers, but not of this nature. Lots of action scenes, which were fine, but simply not my favorite. I don't regret reading it, but won't be seeking out more by Alex Finlay.
