There's just something about receiving a new book from an admired writer.
Kimi Cunningham Grant's previous book, These Silent Woods, is on my top favourites list.
So I was thrilled to receive her newest, The Nature of Disappearing - thank you to Minotaur Books for my gifted copy!
This is the suspenseful story of longtime friends Emlyn and Janessa. Chapters go from present-day, back to when they met, and the years going forward.
Their relationship has been complicated. But when Janessa, a van life social media influencer, appears to be missing, Emlyn sets out with former boyfriend Tyler to find her.
The Nature of Disappearing makes excellent use of setting - the forests of Idaho - and slow-burn tension.
The second half of the book picks up with reveals of the secrets held within relationships.
If you're not yet familiar with this author's writing, I highly recommend checking out her work.
For release on June 18.
