I’ll admit I’ve had this one on my kindle for awhile. I started reading it, then paused it because I found the first 50% of the book while intriguing also a little boring. The last 50% is a roller coaster ride. And hold onto the safety bar because just when you think the ride is over, there is one more twist and hill to go!

Jenny has been missing since she’s six. Twelve years later she’s come home. Parents, Laurie and Jake seem surprised and not as excited as you would expect. Brother Ben has never recovered was her from disappearance. Oh and he doesn’t believe it’s actually Jenny!

Thriller reviews are so hard to write because I don’t want to give anything away! This one has a bit of everything: missing person, liars, con-artist, murderers, deceit, and sexual assault.

3.75⭐️s rounded up to 4.

Thank you Netgalley and Dutton for this eARC in exchange for my honest opinion. I know my review is late but this is the perfect October read!

MC was so uninterested in everything and gave the FBI agents some serious sass. But I’m not gonna take anything too seriously. It was an intriguing book that I enjoyed reading. It fulfilled its purpose.
