My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Twenty years ago, three girls went missing after a tragic accident. Jenna is a journalist researching the strange goings-on in a rural town that has a history of suspected supernatural events and rumors of cult activity dating back to the town’s founding.
The perfect investigative thriller! I love the investigative style of mystery. We get to learn bits and pieces about what happened throughout the story and try to slot all the information into place ourselves, which is always a fun experience. I definitely didn’t see the reveals coming.
There’s also new crimes occurring in the present as well, and Jenna is trying to make the connections between what happened twenty years ago and what is happening today.
I loved the multiple timelines and points of view, giving the story more depth and suspense.
This book has an eerie atmosphere, with mysterious stone structures said to be the place of human sacrifices in the past. All of the ominous, foreboding events culminate and come together spectacularly.
There’s a wide array of suspects, but with no obvious motives, and it makes for a delightful puzzle.
The story is full of toxic relationships, dark secrets, and a twisty plot. It is definitely a page turner!
