Synopsis:
Emlyn is living a simple life. She barely talks to her best friend Janessa, or Tyler, the previous love of her life.
Now she has an airstream trailer, and her closest friends are the makeshift reverend and a handsome forest service ranger.
But when Tyler resurfaces and says Janessa is missing. Emlyn is pulled back in and sets off with Tyler to find her. But the deeper into the wilderness to find Janessa, the more she begins to suspect that a darker secret lie in the woods, and Janessa isn’t the only one in danger.
Thoughts:
This book was great! I loved the outdoorsy setting. It was absolutely picturesque. I felt like I was transported right there next to the characters in the great outdoors. I found the plot of this one to be on the slower, more suspenseful side, but I knew it was more of a suspense versus a fast-paced thriller going in so I expected that. I really enjoyed the character development as well. I thought that the main character, Emlyn was really well done. Getting to know her was like peeling the layers on an onion, information on her was doled out in small amounts, and I ate it up. I especially loved the past and present timelines, and I couldn’t wait to figure out what exactly had happened in the past to lead everyone where they were today.
Overall, this was a really fun suspense read and I enjoyed the atmospheric setting.
