Every Missing Girl by Leanne Kale Sparks
4.0

Every Missing Girl takes you on a journey in FBI Agent Kendall Becks viewpoint, who is actively between two investigations: one that includes a double homicide and a potential kidnapping, and another that includes her oldest friend's niece Frankie going missing. Investigations that will reveal secrets that NOBODY was expecting. Investigations that will end up twirling together to form a jaw dropping end that will make you audibly gasp! (like me)

I absolutely loved Sparks' writing of Kendall's character, even without reading the first book in the Kendall Beck series, I felt like you knew who she was and even got a glimpse into her past trauma with her best friend's untimely death. Kendall is another one of those STRONG female characters that I can't rave enough about! She is gritty when she needs to be, and especially in her field, but she has a softness about her that absolutely shines through and you just know she ended up in the exact line of work the world needed her to be in. I don't know that Adam could have made it through this without her, and even though he clearly SHOULD NOT have been included in his niece's investigation-I love how much she thought of him during the process.

Without mentioning too much and giving away potential spoilers, my heart literally broke for Poppy. Unfortunately, I pre-judged her and ended up being completely wrong. Thank you Leanne Sparks for that, I truly love when books prove me wrong!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and plan to follow along the Kendall Beck series now. I would encourage anyone who loves the thriller/mystery genre to look into this book and this author.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for the digital advance copy of this book.
