This book is hard to review. It’s very plot driven without much else. It lacks imagery, characterization, the things that add depth and complexity to novels. Though, the plot did drag me in. I also haven’t read the two books prior as it was marketed as being able to be read as a stand alone. Maybe these things are in the first two, but I can’t help but think they’re also lacking these elements since truly every book should have more then just plot. I do plan to try book 1 and see, but ultimately this was just an okay read for me.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The setting and main character of this book were intriguing and I would read more from the author (there are two previous books in this series). Recommended for mystery/suspense lovers. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

The fact that this was part of a series didn't deter me from reading it. If you go into this book having read nothing else in the series, be aware that there could be instances where some background would've been helpful, or you're left a little confused. However, it is not dire to read the previous books, as this is still enjoyable on its own.

I am surprised at the lower number of reviews, considering the content, it should be higher. This was an enjoyable read for me.

I’m shocked only 12 people have read this book on Good Reads, it has a well developed plot with some great characters.

It is also a hard to put down book, it gave me Virgin River vibes but with more grit.

Well I didn’t realize it was a third in a series and I was definitely missing a bit of background however it was still a solid mystery/thriller I’ll have to pick up the other books in this series.

Thank you NetGalley and Trevor Wiltzen for the eARC all opinions are my own.

Out April 16.

Haunting Pasts

I am guessing the book was a continuation of book one. I missed a bit and pieces. I did finally just roll with it, and it became a wild mystery and trafficking and a serial killer. I was soon trying hard to get the who,and why.
