This is one of those books that needs a second read to really absorb it all. Rivers does a wonderful job of approaching complex and sensitive topics and the trauma they cause. Kate's journey through her own trauma while being thrust into a thrilling and traumatizing rollercoaster of a mystery pulls you in and doesn't let you go. The characters are compelling, strong, and incredibly realistic.
There are questions left unanswered, but as this is the first in a series, I do feel hopeful that we will get more answers in the future. This intense and compelling read is difficult to put down. It will certainly be getting a re-read when the next book is released.
Thank you to NetGalley, Amy Rivers, and Compathy Press for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
