When FBI agent Tori Hunter is drawn back to her hometown after a teenage girl goes missing in a manner eerily similar to her sister’s disappearance, she knows it’s time to uncover the person responsible for taking these girls. Along the way, she'll have to confront painful truths and face difficult challenges, all while working alongside the charming local detective. As tensions rise, so do Tori’s emotions and attraction. Will she be able to overcome her past and the obstacles in her way to find the person behind the abductions?

The opening chapter instantly drew me in, but as the story progressed, I struggled to stay engaged with the characters and the plot. The narrative seemed to linger too much on the romance angle, which distracted from the mystery. The ending also felt predictable and clichéd. Despite this, I’m still curious to see how Agent Tori develops throughout the series and whether she can navigate the path she ultimately chooses.

*Thank you to Roger Stelljes, Bookouture Audio and Netgalley for the ARC copy. I am freely leaving my honest review.

Silenced Girls is the first book in the new Agent Tori Hunter series and it is told through the eyes of a third person narrator. It follows FBI Special Agent Tori Hunter who returns to her hometown 20 years after a tragic event that changed her life forever.

This is the first book by Roger Stelljes that I have read and it did not disappoint. I liked Tori because she is strong, intelligent and never gives up. I found that a tragedy from her past drives her to help people. I also really liked watching how Tori and detective Braddock interacted with each other.

This book has suspense, mystery, a good amount of action, strong characters, twists and turns which will keep you guessing until the end. I think that all of these things are what a great thriller should have. I definitely cannot wait until the next book in the series.

I recieved an advanced copy for free, and this is my honest opinion.

Agent Tori Hunter returns to her hometown to investigate the case of a missing woman. This case is a painful reminder for her as it's similar to how her twin went missing twenty years ago. This time will Tori finally be able to stop the serial killer and find out the truth about what happened to her sister all these years ago .

The Silenced Girls by Roger Stelljes is the first instalment in the FBI Agent Tori Hunter series. An interesting police procedural with great in depth characters but just a tad bit too long . Will look forward to reading the next one in the series

I would like to thank Bookouture & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

I absolutely love this book. I for sure thought I knew the ending several times but nope.. It keeps you hooked till the end! I loved how we had a strong yet vulnerable FMC! We need more of those ;)
I cannot wait to dive into the next part!

Thank you NetGalley for the ALC! ✨
