A review by jessicamap
Follow Me Down by Sherri Smith

4.0

I had been anticipating this release for awhile and was so excited to get my hands on a copy! This was a great quick read and it kept a good pace. I found myself sucked into the story of Mia and her struggle to find her missing twin brother, Lucas.

The story follows Mia, a pharmacist living in Chicago, when one day she gets a phone call from her hometown sheriff. She immediately has to come back to her hometown in North Dakota to help find her missing brother. A teenage girl is found murdered and her brother is the prime person of interest. Mia sticks firmly with her belief in her brother's innocence, but there's that nagging question, if he was innocent, why did he run? I feel that Smith did a great job of developing the characters - especially Mia. While she had a rough childhood and hasn't completely come to terms with it, she puts that all aside to help her brother. Loyal to fault, flawed, and strong. What's not to love about her?

The book kept a good pace, the writing style made it flow well and you didn't really realize that you were already halfway through, but it really picked up at the end. Did not see that ending coming! I love when a thriller does that. You're keeping interested throughout the story, kind of a leisurely pace, and then BAM! Out of left field! If you're in the mood for a thriller, but want one on the lighter side, then I'd highly recommend this.

Thank you to Tor/Forge for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
