This is an intense read, but I could not put it down. It is the gripping story of an abducted girl who is found and of the cop trying to solve it all. The author is a talented writer and the characters feel very real.

If you love Law and Order SVU, you’re sure to love this book. Chelsey gave me such Olivia Benson vibes.

For the most part, I could not predict where this book was going next and thoroughly enjoyed the journey it took me on. I was hooked, and Ellie and Chelsey were both very interesting characters.
