for me, this one was just okay … and I feel like this is an unpopular booksta opinion 😅

I’m very much in my romantic suspense era - so I’ve been scouring for book recs and this one has been all over booktok and booksta so delaney and I decided to give it a try!! and sadly, it didn’t live up to the hype for us 😭😭

the romance plot was very chaotic and borderline cringey for me. wren had her heart broken 10 years ago by her childhood sweetheart holt, and now that he’s back in town determined to win over her heart, she just … gives in? like where was the groveling? where was the explanation of each other’s feelings and hurt over ten freaking years? 

what really kept me going was the suspense plot, though! I loved super sleuthing the whodunnit, and while the ending wasn’t my favorite conclusion, I was racing through the chapters to figure out what happened next!! however, I do feel that the author threw in elements of surprise just to screw with the readers’ minds too 🤔

overall, I did enjoy reading this one a lot, but it’s not memorable to me. I may or may not continue this series - stay tuned!

“She has my heart. My soul. Everything that’s good in me. She’s where I feel peace.” 🩷🦗🩷🦗🩷🦗

10 years after a tragedy. 10 years after the worst day of Wren’s life. Holt is back and that’s when something dark in this small town awakens…pushing Wren + Holt back together…

This book was SO GOOD. I was on the edge of my
seat 🫣 the mystery, the suspense, and the 🔥 tension. If you love a good romance with a side of crime mystery the. you will love this start to the Lost & Found series 🩵🩵🩵

Did not happen anything 
Both characters are boring 
She is a 9-1-1 dispatcher and gets trigger everytime is a shooting since she is a shooting survivor. Girl you cannot do the job. 

Is a second chance romance but if by near 50% is not romance I am done.
