While the plot to get there felt slow and lacking in action, the twists on twists on twists at the end kept me from putting it down. I had my money on mobsters from the start, and I was delighted to not even be close. The ending felt slight cliche, but I didn’t guess at it at all!

Thank you to @atriathrillers for the copy of HAVE YOU SEEN HER by Catherine McKenzie. This one is out now.
I really enjoyed this book! The atmosphere was absolutely perfect and I really liked these characters. This one is twisty and kept me guessing the entire time. Told through different timelines and including Instagram posts was a nice touch. I highly recommend this one.

Catherine McKenzie returns following Please Join Us with her 14th novel, HAVE YOU SEEN HER —A thrilling and timely novel about three women with dark secrets whose lives intersect in the picturesque and perilous Yosemite National Park.
Cassie Peters (main character) has left her hectic and secretive life in NYC for her hometown of Mammoth Lakes, California, to work for Yosemite Search and Rescue. A case she worked on a decade ago continues to haunt her. She is running from her husband. No matter how often she changes her name, will she be found?
Two other young women's paths intersect:
Petal: lives in a trailer with diary entries of the park, revealing her marital status to an older dangerous woman, Sandy (controlling).
Jada: a recent college graduate on a cross-country road trip with her boyfriend, Jim in an airstream documenting their journey on Instagram, but is their relationship as perfect as their IG posts?
Is there a dark side to these relationships? How do these characters connect? Cassie must confront her past to move on.
Told via two timelines, then and now, with Cassie's POV mixed with journal entries, Instagram posts, news articles, and YouTube transcripts.
A young couple goes missing, bringing back haunting memories from the past for Cassie. Things are not as they appear. All of the main characters are running from something.
From the breathtaking atmospheric setting of Yosemite National Park with a cast of well-developed compelling characters, dark secrets, and numerous jaw-dropping twists, McKenzie CAPTIVATES with this fascinating adventure—keeping you guessing to the conclusion. You know darkness lurks, and the author cleverly keeps you hooked in anticipation in this stunning thriller—HAVE YOU SEEN HER.
I enjoyed the metaphors/parallels with the two sides of the picturesque picture-perfect postcard breathtaking setting (beautiful yet dangerous), much like the characters. Will there be a sequel?
I got the Gabby Petito/Brian Laundrie vibe giving you that true-crime feel. For fans of Joyce Maynard's The Influencers and Rick Monifa's Everything She Feared.
Thank you to Atria Books for an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this book! It's about a woman named Cassie who is trying to start over from her old life, running from a past. She starts working on a Search and Rescue team in Yosemite National Park, when things start to go awry. The setting was beautifully written and the suspense was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this book! Thank you to Netgalley for providing this ARC in return for my honest review!
