I was surprised that I did think about this book when I put it down, but is was easy to put down and pick up…my guess is because the cadence is a bit slower.

I don’t know if I’ll remember the name of this book in a year, but I will remember that four girls disappeared during a music festival. I liked the parallelism between Taggart’s and Sloane’s investigations. I wasn’t sure what to do with Grant. It was his farm, but so what? I feel like he was just used to give Sloane some human qualities as the story progressed. I wish he had more of a connection to one of the disappeared or if he had seen something, even as a child.

I’ve never read a Mary Burton novel before, but I found myself looking her up in Goodreads. I’d recommend this book for someone that is just getting into thrillers or someone that also likes Megan Miranda.

Burton always delivers! Twisty and complex mystery weaving between past and present with interesting characters and plenty or red herrings to keep you guessing. You will want to get comfy, you won't put this down until the last page.

A great mystery story. I was instantly hooked.

Sloane was a great lead. I really admired her determination and strength. She was easy to root for.

The writing itself is addictive. I couldn't put this down. I had to know whodunnit. Plus this has plenty was red herrings and twists to keep the mystery intriguing.

Very enjoyable!

This book had me hooked from the first page. Sloane Grayson’s relentless search for the truth is layered with so much grit and heart that I couldn’t help but root for her every step of the way. The atmosphere is deliciously tense, plus, Burton’s writing makes every shadow feel like a threat and every silence scream with unanswered questions. What I loved most was the emotional pull, the way Sloane’s past clings to her, driving her forward even when the stakes grow terrifyingly high. The mystery kept me guessing, but it was the deeply personal journey that made this story unforgettable. It’s the kind of suspense that leaves you breathless, with characters you’ll be thinking about for days!

This was definitely one of those books you can't put down. Forget sleep, finishing the story and figuring out 'who dunnit' was way more important.

Sloane was fabulous. The writing and story lured you in and kept you captive. And I just loved the bit of romance but the focus staying on the mystery.

I enjoyed this one and would highly recommend it!
