Rating: 3.5/5 stars
Review: I enjoyed reading this book! It’s about a teen girl who goes missing and now her best friend is looking for her. I’m a huge fan of mystery and when I found it that it’s perfect for fans of Karen M. McManus and Natasha Preston, I knew this book was for me. I enjoyed the mystery in this book and how suspenseful it was especially by adding a powerful hurricane. I enjoyed how the setting is in Louisiana which is super neat for a special reason and also I enjoyed how the alligators played a role in it! The pacing was a little slow and hard for me to get into in the beginning but once all the mystery hunting starts, that’s when the story gets better.
I enjoyed the main character, Grey, in this book. Her friendship with Elora shows how much she cares plus she is a brave girl! She had great character development in the book and I would say that she could have been a better person if she didn’t let her crush get in her way. There are also many minor characters that play a role in the book to help find the kidnapper but I do have to say that I easily figured out who it was and I was a little disappointed to know it wasn’t so hard. There is also romance in this book but it’s not the main factor of the story but the theme is mostly family and friends.
The ending was well done for this book and I enjoyed how it was ended. Even though I figured out who the kidnapper was and wasn’t surprised, I still enjoyed this book. I did have some minor problems with this book but overall it was a great read. I will most likely be reading from this author again in the future. I recommend this book to fans of Harrow Lake and I Killed Zoe Spanos.
