Out of the Ashes by Kara Thomas

3.0

Out of the Ashes was a slight miss for me. I did enjoy the story and completed reading it so I could find out what happened the night that Samantha Newsom’s family was murdered in a house fire. I found myself having to go back to review who a character was and how they were involved with the story as there were quite a few to keep track of. It felt as though there could have been more character development and the story could have a spinoff related to other missing persons from the same town. Overall the story was interesting but I wasn’t as hooked as I have been with other Kara Thomas stories. This is an emotional story that I would recommend to those who are looking for a longer mystery with a few twists with a lot of miscommunications, secrets and “how did that just happen?” moments.
Thank you to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest opinion.
