Finn and Ellen have put the past behind them—namely that Layla vanished without a trace ten years ago. Layla was Finn’s former girlfriend and he was madly in love with her. Layla was also Ellen’s sister. Through Layla’s disappearance, and ultimately her suspected death, Finn and Ellen found strength in one another. Now they’re engaged to be wed.
All is well until Russian dolls, mysterious emails, and sightings of Layla start appearing. Is Layla still out there or is someone messing with them?
The book started out strong. It was suspenseful, it had me guessing, but then part two came along. The twist was a bit too obvious, too implausible. I was able to guess the ending, which is normally fun! But this one had me asking, “really?”
