When FBI agent Tori Hunter is drawn back to her hometown after a teenage girl goes missing in a manner eerily similar to her sister’s disappearance, she knows it’s time to uncover the person responsible for taking these girls. Along the way, she'll have to confront painful truths and face difficult challenges, all while working alongside the charming local detective. As tensions rise, so do Tori’s emotions and attraction. Will she be able to overcome her past and the obstacles in her way to find the person behind the abductions?

The opening chapter instantly drew me in, but as the story progressed, I struggled to stay engaged with the characters and the plot. The narrative seemed to linger too much on the romance angle, which distracted from the mystery. The ending also felt predictable and clichéd. Despite this, I’m still curious to see how Agent Tori develops throughout the series and whether she can navigate the path she ultimately chooses.
