Detective Chelsey Calhoun receives a phone call informing her that Ellie Black, a missing teen, has been found. Chelsey jumps into action but can’t help but think about her sister who went missing years ago. Ellie isn’t giving up any information and Chelsey leaves no stone unturned in search of answers. This was a gripping tale of depravity, captivity, manipulation, trauma.

It is not an easy tale to read and I felt for so many of the characters. Some of the scenes do not make for easy reading – you’ve been warned. There are some twists and a shocking reveal at the end. I did not see it coming at all.

This is my first book by the author, and I look forward to reading more of this author’s books in the future.

Gripping, dark, heartbreaking, and dark.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster and Edelweiss who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
