“I had never wanted to return to Breaux Bridge, never wanted to walk the halls of that house. Never wanted to revisit the memories I had tried to keep stranded in that tiny town. But the memories didn’t stay there, I know that now. My past has been haunting me for my entire life, like a phantom that was never laid to rest, just like those girls.”Plot Summary: When Chloe Davis was twelve years old, six teenage girls went missing in her small town. By the end of the summer, her father was arrested for the murders and was sent to prison. Her family was left to deal with the aftermath.
20 years later, Chloe owns a private psychology practice an hour away from her hometown in Baton Rouge and she's preparing for her wedding. She finally feels happy and content with her life, but it all starts to fall apart when girls start to go missing again. Is she just paranoid? But all of those feelings from that summer start bubbling up to the surface and it is difficult to cope. For the second time, she may be the one to unmask the killer.
My verdict: I thought this book was just okay. It was nothing new and it was pretty predictable. There's also some weird inconsistencies. I listened to the audiobook and was pretty entertained. There are better thrillers that do the same thing!
