The book also includes letters written by Aulus during his captivity; The Elizabeth Letters. He writes about the condition in which the June Boys are kept.

I enjoyed the audiobook and it's a good YA mystery thriller. I had some issues with it though.. The story is confusing and I had a hard time getting into it. The characters feel quite one-dimensional and lack depth, which made it difficult to connect with them. The FBI agent working the Gemini Thief case is sharing information with the underaged and highly involved group of friends who are investigating the case for themselves. The ending came out of nowhere. There are a lot of questions unanswered at the end.

Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for sharing this audiobook ARC in exchange my honest review.
