I know I said the third book was my favorite, but I can’t leave my absolute favorite character—Brandon Eddison—in the dust.

For 25 years, his sister has been missing, and now they’re connecting the dots to her disappearance, alongside discovering the disappearance of many other girls, who took the place of a daughter who died to leukemia. A deranged father, taking and sickening these girls every two years, killing, burying, moving on…

I was crying a lot in this book, especially because while we were saying goodbye to

Faith Eddison

we were also, saying goodbye to our beloved FBI team. This book series has been genuinely amazing, and I am so upset for it to have come to an end. These characters and the found family, it is all so amazing and wholesome.

A great addition to the series. Closed out all the agents stories. The plot was heartbreaking as most of these are, but it had a good flow and interesting twists.
