Welcome to another #BuddyReads. What's a Buddy Read? Fellow book nerd co-host Classy (friend, book lover, audiobook listener, and Shelf Addiction reviewer) and I select a stand alone title that we'll either read, listen to, or a combination of both. Afterwards we come together to chat about it on the podcast! This is a candid and spoiler-filled convo.
​​
In this episode, we're discussing The Chain, by Adrian McKinty​. Both Classy and I listened to the audiobook version. Be sure to listen to the end because we share why we picked who we did for the fantasy casting!

Synopsis: You just dropped off your child at the bus stop. A panicked stranger calls your phone. Your child has been kidnapped, and the stranger explains that their child has also been kidnapped, by a completely different stranger. The only way to get your child back is to kidnap another child within 24 hours. Your child will be released only when the next victim's parents kidnap yet another child, and most importantly, the stranger explains, if you don't kidnap a child, or if the next parents don't kidnap a child, your child will be murdered. You are now part of The Chain.​
