This novel has so many of the things I
look for in a book—mysterious disappearances, dark and suspenseful secrets, and
compelling, realistic characters that I care about.
But it also had some things
I wasn’t expecting…an eerie setting that felt like its own character and a
timeframe in the past that brought me back to my own childhood. The accuracy
and nostalgia surrounding the 1977 setting pulled me right in, and the mystery
heightened as the teenage characters’ friend becomes one of the missing.
Reading this book was like finding treasure, and I quickly purchased all of
this author’s other books.

Another thriller involving a group of
friends with a dark shared history made this debut a must-read for me. While
I started with the e-book, I also had to purchase the audiobook because I
needed to be immersed in the mystery at every moment possible!
This book had
dual timelines, which I love as a way to weave together the secrets of the past
with the current timeline, in which a stranger insinuates her way into a main
character’s life, and odd occurrences and dangerous lies begin stacking up.
This
person is not who she pretends to be…who is she, and what does she want?
