Thanks so much to NetGalley and Julia Heaberlin and especially to Random House/Ballantine Books for granting my wish to read and review it! 5 stars for a beautifully written book!
The story is told from three character's points of view - Wyatt, a loner who has a bad reputation in town because his sister, Trumanell, disappeared years ago. Wyatt still talks to her and the townspeople are convinced he killed her. He's out one night when he sees an injured young girl at the side of the road that he takes home with him. Odette was Trumanell's best friend and is now a police officer in town and friends with Wyatt. On the night Trumanell disappeared, Odette was in an accident and lost her leg. She's driven to find out what happened to Trumanell and the mystery of Angel, the young girl that Wyatt found, who is the third point of view.
This is a slower moving mystery but the writing drew me in and I was glued to the pages to find out all of the twists and turns. The writer so beautifully told the stories of these people who all felt flawed (aren't we all?) but showed such resilience and courage in living their lives, no matter what their pasts did to them. You will feel the tense atmosphere throughout this book - I held my breath too many times to count! It's creepy and beautiful with characters you will love and cheer for.
