This book was great! I won an ARC of this novel from Bookish First, in exchange for an honest review. All opinions of this book are my own.

We met Alice Vega and Max Caplan in book 1 of this series working on a missing person's case. This time around, Vega was hired by California Police Department and the FBI to help identify two Jane Does and to determine if they were involved in a human trafficking ring. Vega takes the case and immediately secures the help of Caplan, who flies out to CA to join her. What ensues is a masterful race to identify the girls and to figure out where they came from, who they are, and why they were killed.

I'm giving this book 4 stars. I think it was overly complicated towards the end and a little bit hard to follow at times. So many people and places! However the actual ending was excellent. I really enjoyed (most of) this book and I can't wait for the next one!

3.5. A solid “hunt the bad people down” story about human trafficking with a strong female lead.

I wish I could remember what person, podcast, or website suggested this book. Whoever it was deserves a BIG thanks from me. I totally enjoyed this book and am going to go back and read the first book in this series. Best crime-drama I’ve read in a long time.
