I jokingly remember commented on my blog in early January that it looked like 2020 was going to be the year of the thrillers. Little did I know how right I was because I've read so many good one this year and Safe is no exception.

When Jenny was six years old, she left her home to walk two houses down the street to play with a friend. However, Jenny never made it. For years her family searched for her but eventually, everyone gave up hope that Jenny would ever be found. Now it's 12 years later and Jenny shows up back in town. Her parents are thrilled and her brother seems to wish that she had stayed gone. Jenny is trying to readjust to life while her parents, as well as the police, are trying to put together the pieces of her time away. But it seems like everyone has secrets that they would much rather stay buried.

I loved this book. It was compelling and exciting and held a few twists I didn't quite see coming. I could not imagine the pain Jenny's parents experienced and I it was hard to see Jenny trying so hard to reconnect with her family. I feel this is a book that's best gone into blindly and I have to admit, it's hard to say much more without giving anything away. My only real issue with it is that the plot was just a tad predictable, but I think if someone reads a lot of the genre, they sort of have an idea where things are headed. Yet I will add the author throws enough twists in to keep everything fresh and just as exciting. If you are in the mood for a solid thriller, this is one you should consider picking up.
