Where They Last Saw Her by Marcie R. Rendon

dark emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.75

A scream rocks Quill to her core on her morning run- she races home wondering what was that? Or more likely, whom?

The story is there but the detail in some of the small daily details, are too much. Complete paragraphs could be left out, as every description didn’t necessarily need to be written. This was very slow start to the story. The three main female characters were written fine, each felt individualized but again, felt like the same conversations during the same setting.  The plot had some really amazing moments that tap into the author’s heritage and then would just get stalled. And those moments just fell into that repetitive feeling.

Still what a great diverse read- some powerful female empowerment moments. About halfway in, it was obvious where the story was going and how the mystery was going to unravel. And it was a little frustrating how long it took Quill to get there herself. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Bantam for an early release copy
