"Vic is here,” she continues after a minute, “because he has the same fears as most of those parents. Eddison is here because he doesn’t want any other family to have the weight and pain of always wondering. I’m here because I know how hard these crimes are on family and friends, and want to ease that burden where I can. Of course we’re here for the kids. Of course we are. But we also have all those other reasons. You are the only one of us who is here totally and completely for the kids. You’re here for them. To rescue them. To help them. You’ll help everyone else as much as you can because you’re a good person, but the kids are your priority. So of course it’s going to be hardest on you.”

Not as good as the first but much better than the second. Looks like this was originally meant to be a trilogy so I am glad there is a fourth book to read.

3.5 stars. The story was interesting, but I was more disturbed than on the edge of my seat with this one. Not sure if it had to do with Mercedes narrating it. As a Hispanic, a lot of the Spanish interjections didn’t make sense to me.

Really enjoyed this book. It took me a while to get into it but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I really do like this series and how it still talks about characters from previous books so that we know what is still happening with them.
