Bus No. 7 by Mary J. Nestor was fascinating and complex. The storyline was filled with tension and emotional depth, and was interwoven with desperation, secrets, and surprising connections. From start to finish, it was a fast-paced and action-packed read. I found myself flipping the pages as quickly as possible, eager to discover what would happen next. The suspense kept me anxious, anticipating each new twist and turn. The writing style was captivating, exploring themes of trust, betrayal, and secrets. The characters were well-crafted and genuine. They felt so real that I easily identified my favorites and those I did not care for at all. The story was skillfully written and held my attention throughout. I truly enjoyed reading this book, and it highlights how a single moment can alter the lives of strangers forever.
