Chloe Davis is a psychologist. She understands trauma. She is on a first name basis with it. When she was twelve years old, her father was arrested for the murders of six young women. Chloe, her mother, and brother were left to pick up the pieces and move on.
As she prepares for her wedding, a local girl goes missing. It brings back memories, then another girl goes missing and the past comes barreling full blast into her present. Is this a sick blast from the past? Everything feels and looks similar. But is it?
While reading, I did my own super sleuthing. I didn’t find it too hard to do. While wondering “what if” and “hmm, I wonder” I guessed early on, one of big twists/reveals. I think most readers will. I enjoy when I can figure things out, but I love when I am shocked. I would have loved to have been shocked here. But there were more twists and reveals along the way -not as big as the one I figured out. But they are there. While I enjoyed this book, I wasn’t as wowed as other readers. For me the pacing was a little off and I hope to not read the word “flicker” for quite some time!
Again, I enjoyed this book but I wasn’t as wowed as I had hoped to be. This was a debut book and I see great promise and I will be reading what she writes next.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press/Minotaur Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
