Over the years many young women have gone missing from along the Cold Creek Highway. Hailey McBride calls Cold Creek home. She knows the stories and rumors that swirl around those missing girls well. But her father taught her how to survive along the highway and in nature. But her father has passed away and now she's stuck living with her aunt and her bully of a police officer husband. When Hailey goes missing, it's just assumed that she's the latest victim of the highway killer.
The summer after Hailey disappears, Beth shows up in Cold Creek to hopefully get some closure on her sister Amber's murder. As Beth digs for answers, she finds more than just information about Amber, but Hailey as well. And all may not be as it seems.
Once I was into the story of this one I was swept away and had to know what happened. Divided into three parts: Hailey pre-disappearance, Hailey's disappearance, and Beth's search for answers, this book starts as a slow burn, but ramps up the speed as you proceed through the sections. By the end I was consuming this book as quickly as possible to get to the resolution. The narration of this one really brought the tension of this story to life. If you are looking for a quick, immersive and skin tingly thriller, pick this one up.
