The Return of Ellie Black by Emiko Jean
4.0
Thank you so much, Simon and Schuster Canada and NetGalley, for sending me this ARC. It has been a while since I read thrillers, but this one hit all the right chords.
The Return of Elli Black is a well paced dark psychological thriller that'll make you question our society, get angry about how women are still treated in some places, and it's about the monsters who prey on women.
I loved Chelsey. Getting to know her personal side of the story while investigating Ellie's case was the perfect personal touch I needed from the story.
The way the author portrayed the character's fear and traumatic experiences were palpable. She catches your attention from the very first page and holds it throughout the story. It may not be an easy read (certainly some parts of it), but it definitely was gripping. The twists and turns will ensure you cannot put the book down, yet you still may need to take a break from the trauma. And the ending? I did not see it coming at all.
