As children, sisters Holly and Vivian played hide and seek as a method of escape from their abusive parents. Now adults, Holly rushes to Vivian’s side when her sister calls for help, saying someone is coming for her, but when Holly arrives, all she finds is her sister’s abandoned car. Using Vivian’s journals as a guide into her troubled life, Holly sets out to do what she couldn’t do when she was little, save her sister.

I loved this character driven novel. It’s voicey, surprising as atmospheric. I really felt for Holly. She’s a complex character, emotionally layered in a way you don’t often see in thrillers. I also liked that the men in this novel got what they deserved. Well done! Thank you to author Cara Reinard, netgalley, and the publisher for the e-galley!!
