Synopsis:
The chilling story of the abduction of two teenagers, their escape, and the dark secrets that, years later, bring them back to the scene of the crime.
It’s senior-year spring break, and Noelle Meyer and Evan Sinclair have been kidnapped. Neither knows why they were chosen, only that they share a tragic past: Evan’s father got away with killing Noelle’s mother, effectively ruining her family when the death was ruled an accident.
Despite the connection that should have made them enemies, the teens instead unite to face their other common denominator—their abductors. Noelle and Evan survive one sadistic circumstance after another, eventually making a harrowing escape. But every happy ending comes at a price…
Years later, Evan, now a private investigator, revisits the crime when he learns it may be ongoing. He reaches out to Noelle for help, and they discover that the answers lie with a man known only as the Collector. To close their case and solve the ones that followed Noelle and Evan must unmask this mysterious spectator—the only man who knows enough secrets to take their captors down.
I cannot even convey how much I loved this book! I like to say that thrillers aren't my type of book because you can usually find me hiding in the world of fantasy, but I've found that a great thriller will almost always find its way onto my ever-growing TBR. I can't continually read them because I freak myself out too much, but they always scratch the itch when I need it!
Mia Sheridan did such a great job hiding the antagonists in this book. Every new character that was introduced, and even a best friend thrown in there was under my suspicion. But when it all came to blows, I really wasn't expecting it. In fact, if you were to see my Kindle notes, you will see an 'oh shit, oh shit, oh fuuuuuck' when you finally find out one of the key players. I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves these types of books. However, as a warning, I very rarely get triggered on subjects, but I recommend checking the warnings on this one because if you do get triggered easily you might want to stay away from this one.
Plot- or character-driven? Plot
Strong character development? Yes
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
