You're Next by Gregg Hurwitz is a thriller about a man named Mike Wingate. Mike is a man with a troubled past. Trouble is, he can't remember what it is. Having been abandoned at age four, Mike grew up in foster care. Although he and his foster brother, Shep, got into a bit of trouble in their adolescence, Mike has worked hard and finally achieved the life he always dreamed of. He has a beautiful wife, an 8-year-old daughter, and owns his own construction company, which is about to finish a job that will give them a financially secure future. But things suddenly take a turn for the worst. Some unknown force is coming after him. And this force is somehow connected to a past that he doesn't even remember. When the police prove to be of no help, he turns to his foster brother Shep, who chose an alternate route in life. Shep promises to help Mike, his wife, Annabel, and his daughter, Kat, to find out who is after his family, and why. As the mystery slowly unravels, Mike starts finding out who he is and where he came from. And why his past is coming back to haunt him.
Full of twists with plenty of suspense, You're Next is a great read. Although a little slow at times, this book is definitely worth reading. With characters everyone can relate to and wonderfully written details, this book is a great addition to the thriller/suspense genre.
