• This is an older thriller that’s been resurfacing lately because the audiobook was recently released and it had a lot of good reviews so I picked it up because it’s by one of my favorite thriller authors!! I kind of wish I listened to the audiobook because this was pretty slow compared to the other books I’ve read by Jennifer Hillier.
• I was immediately hooked and intrigued because a lot is going on and I loved how this is more investigative. We’re following Vanessa, a deputy chief officer that’s trying to solve the mystery of the missing person.
• This is mainly set at a theme park in a shady small town and the writing perfectly captured the eerie feeling. I felt for the characters that were trying to leave the town and leave behind all the negative energy it has.
• I loved Vanessa and how determined she is to bring justice to the victims and didn’t let anyone, especially the men, tell her what she could or couldn’t do.
• The ending was not my favorite which is why this is a 4⭐️. The first 90% of the book was pretty slow and calculated, a lot was going on and there are a ton of characters introduced. And then the last 10%, everything felt rushed and I felt like there were some loose ends and unanswered questions. The killer was also a bit predictable but I still felt bad for Vanessa when she had to find out.
• By the end of the book, I wasn’t sure whose side I’m on. The characters that I was rooting for turned out to have done questionable things and some of them weren’t brought to justice and I didn’t like how they didn’t get charged for their crimes.
• Check trigger warnings if you’re planning on reading this, it’s pretty heavy with topics like SA and adult-minor relationships.
