This book definitely has trigger warnings-be prepared and look into what they are before reading. But the twists were worth getting through the first 25% of the book!

CW: human trafficking, rape, sexual assault, abduction, kidnapping, confinement, physical abuse, murder, torture

The premise of this book sounded very intriguing, but unfortunately it just wasn't for me. At 390 pages, this book could have been condensed to create a compelling mystery about two victims solving their own kidnappings. Instead, the first 25% of this book is a pure horror novel with vivid and graphic details of human trafficking, including rape, sexual assault, physical assault, and confinement in cages. This book was so much more disturbing than I had anticipated, and it was very difficult to get through. The next 25% of the book was more of a romance, which felt too unbelievable and forced. Fortunately, I found the second half of the book much more captivating and enjoyed how Noelle and Evan worked together to solve their case, although it was still quite dark and twisted. Fans of "Verity" and "Local Woman Missing" will likely enjoy this book, but it was too gruesome for my taste.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
