Gone Again by Minka Kent

3.0

Celia spends her fortieth birthday surrounded by friends and her loving husband, but after finding an upsetting note mixed in with her birthday cards, she leaves home in the middle of the night to clear her head and then vanishes. Her estranged sister launches her own investigation to find out what happened to Celia.

GONE AGAIN is my first book by Minka Kent and, I’ve gotta say, the beginning chapters had me hooked! I love religious culty ish!

This book utilized multiple timelines and POVs (loved!) to piece together our main character, Celia’s, past and how it led to where she is now.

The investigative aspect was great because I just love hearing all the tea from fictional characters! However, that’s also where this book started to fall apart for me. A lot of statements that were brought up were just brushed under the rug, never to be brought up again.

The ending also felt rushed and didn’t seem to fully connect compared to where the story appeared to be going…

Overall, a quick read with a lot of very intriguing moments!

Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
