This was a fast read, but was just too unbelievable.
Eva Rae is supposed to be an experienced FBI agent but acts like she has no experience and doesn’t know police protocols. She goes busting into one of the suspect’s homes without a warrant and just apologizes afterward, but is allowed to keep doing whatever she wants. She goes around asking questions and inserting herself into the investigation even before she’s asked to consult. She doesn't behave like a seasoned law enforcement agent.
She’s also a terrible parent. She’s going through a divorce and has moved her kids across the country to start over. Her ex-husband was the primary caretaker so there’s some leeway there because she wasn’t as involved with the day to day running of her children’s lives, but she knows absolutely nothing about them. Even when they tell her things she can’t be bothered to remember because she’s so focused on the crimes instead. There’s a killer out there targeting children of divorce and half the time she doesn’t know where her own children are. She gets mad at her daughter for getting in a stranger's car but doesn't take any responsibility herself for forgetting about her daughter's event and not answering the multiple calls and texts from her child. There were a lot of times I wanted to reach through the book and shake her.
The killer was a surprise, but that was more because there was nothing in the story that would have led us to them. There were clues that led us to some of the other suspects, but nothing that pointed to the actual killer. We were given a description of a suspect as well as the car they drove, but those were kind of clues in a void because we weren't given a description of the killer when they were introduced to us in the story, nor were we given any hint about what kind of car they drove. It just seemed like an easy way out for the author.
There were also some twists that played a big role in the story that weren’t directly related to the crimes and a budding relationship between Eva Rae and an old flame. There were just a lot of things thrown into the story. Too much.

This was a fairly intense thriller and detective mystery with former FBI profiler Eva Thomas as the protagonist. The story revolves around the disappearances of children which develops into a gruesome serial murder mystery set in Cocoa Beach, Florida. This was a fun summer thriller. It would have garnered more stars from me had the protagonist not turned me off but that just may be my thing. Simple, easy, fast read.
This is my 1st read by Willow Rose and I could not put it down.
FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas and her children just moved back to her hometown.
Matt Miller, her old flame, is on the local law enforcement team.
Only days into her move back, Eva Rae nearly hits a Woman running down the street screaming with her child. The story begins, it’s full of mystery, crime, and so much more that you will not be able to put this book down.
It’s a fast paced, action thriller, full of suspense and who dun it’s to make you want to know more!
The characters are very relatable and even loveable. I’ve got to read this entire series. This can be read on its own.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Willow Rose for allowing me to read in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed it immensely.

Almost too quick of a read. It felt rushed. I didn’t get a chance to get too surprised because many if the characters lacked development. That being said, I will try another one of her books.
Ending was super abrupt. That’s it? Like no closure for the characters whatsoever. Unrealistic.
I really enjoyed this book right from the beginning. There was always something going on, read well and kept you guessing.
While this book kept my sister and I completely locked in (another sister buddy read), I was super disappointed with the ending. I really, really, really just wanted this book to be more realistic throughout the book, but everyone's reactions were just so unbelievable to me and I just couldn't get past it.
This book was a bit unrealistic but definitely kept my attention
