If you’re looking for a quick and engaging psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, then pick up this book! 
 
The great writing style, fast pace, and intriguing characters make this book hard to put down! 
I was hooked right from the start and eager to uncover the truth of what happened that night 12 years ago. 
I thoroughly enjoyed the dual timeline, which provides insight into the events leading up to Ellie’s disappearance and the present-day investigation. 
 
There’s a couple of red herrings, making it challenging to figure out the truth before the big reveal at the end. 
 
However, I must say the way this book ends wasn’t to my liking; I was expecting more but the book concluded rather abruptly. 
 
Overall, it’s an entertaining, enjoyable and gripping story to read! 
 The world-building is vivid, making me feel like I’m walking down the street in New Orleans, and the unexpected twists kept me engrossed throughout the story. 
I’m looking forward to read more books by this author in the future! 
 
I received an advanced review copy through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
