This is the story of Hailey, who lost both of her parents and has to move in with her aunt and her husband, a local cop who locals not-so-lovingly call the Iceman.
Cold Creek, where they live, is infamous for the women that have disappeared along the highway, and Hailey's uncle trying to "keep her safe" is seriously impeding her teenage life. Until she realizes that he is keeping some big secrets and she runs away.
Then, the story follows Beth, a woman who lost her sister to the highway killer. Beth is now suffering from addiction and has given up her dreams and is hoping to figure out what happened.
While I will say that there were some minor plot points that seem oversimplified, I really enjoyed this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Thank you to the author and netgalley for a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
