Equipped with a burner phone and a new job, Cassie Peters has left her hectic and secretive life in New York City for the refuge of her hometown of Mammoth Lakes, California. There, she begins working again with Yosemite Search and Rescue, where a case she worked a decade ago continues to haunt her.
She quickly falls into old patterns, joining a group of fellow seasonal workers and young adventurers who have made Yosemite their home during the summer. There, she meets Petal, a young woman living in a trailer with her much older wife, keeping a detailed diary of the goings on of the park, and Jada, a recent college graduate on a cross-country road trip with her boyfriend, documenting their journey on Instagram.
When these three women cross paths, Cassie’s past catches up with her, and the shocking consequences ripple out far beyond what any could have imagined in this unputdownable thriller from an author who “never fails to impress”.

REVIEW:
A new book from one of my favorite Canadian authors, how could I pass it up?!
A new book from one of my favorite Canadian authors, how could I pass it up?!
It was a decent read too. It wasn't my favorite though. I hate dual timelines. The bounce from past to present, never been a fan of that style of writing. I'm a more straightforward kind of girl. So right away it was taking me longer to read because of that. Once I got into the story it was better for me, and the timelines didn't bother me so much.
I wasn't a huge fan of the ending either, but more because it felt rushed. Like you took all that time to lead to the build up and it kind of fizzled out for me. A great middle part, plot twist and all that kept you reading with intrigue. I felt like the end just didn't do the story justice.
Still, as a whole, I liked the book. The plot was interesting. The twist was ferocious but I ate it up.
As always, I look forward to whatever else the author writes.
3.5/5
