Reviews with content warning for Kidnapping - The Reappearance of Rachel Price

The number of gasps I gasped while reading this book! It's been a long time since I've read a book with so many thrils. This book is over 400 pages but it felt like 200, because I flew through it. The characters and their dynamics were interesting, and I never really got a hold on all of them, which is exactly how I think Bel starts to feel throughout the book. While Bel wasn't terribly relatable to me at first, as the book progressed, I started to feel what she was. I liked how some of the plot twists I was able to anticipate partially, but not figure out exactly what happened. When you can see some of the clues leading up to a reveal, it makes it feel more real and more thrilling, although this book had its fair share of completely blindsiding twists as well!

Also, side note, I love Ash as a character so so much.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book but the ending fell short for me.

SPOILERS ———-
I saw some of the twists coming - Carter being Bel’s sister, Charlie being involved, Rachel holding him hostage, even Charlie (and Jeff) falling as soon as the cliff was mentioned. What I didn’t like was the cover up of their fall. I understand why the author chose this route but it reminded me a lot of the third book in the AGGGTM series and it just felt so unrealistic (I thought it felt unrealistic in As Good as Dead too). I loved every second until this happened though so I’m keeping it as a four star read.

Trigger warnings: Kidnapping, childhood loss of parents, gaslighting, emotional abuse.

I can honestly say I didn't see the end of this book coming, and I ended up siding with characters I sort of hated throughout most of the book and vice versa. This felt very much like watching a movie and while it wasn't always necessarily realistic or terribly intricate, it was entertaining as hell and I didn't really want it to end. This author never disappoints.
