About the Book
When her favorite true crime podcast host goes missing, an adrift young woman sets out to investigate and plunges headfirst into the wild backcountry of Northern California and her own dangerous obsession.
Sera loves true crime podcasts. They give her a sense of control in a world where women just like her disappear daily. She’s sure they are preparing her for something. So when Rachel, her favorite podcast host, goes missing, Sera knows it’s time to act. Rachel has always taught her to trust her instincts.
Sera follows the clues hidden in the episodes to an isolated ranch outside Rachel’s small hometown to begin her search. She’s convinced her investigation will make Rachel so proud. But the more Sera digs into this unfamiliar world, the more off things start to feel. Because Rachel is not the first woman to vanish from the ranch, and she won’t be the last…
Rachel did try to warn her.
My Review
While I thought this book would be right up my alley, I really struggled to enjoy it. The premise sounded interesting but unfortunately each chapter fell flat for me and it was very hard to stay invested. None of the characters are likeable and the setting just felt off the entire time. There wasn’t much that seemed believable in the story and I sloughed my way through hoping the ending would give the book a save, but this one is simply a no for me.
1 star
I struggled with this book and gave it one star as there was no option for a lower rating. This fell completely flat for me.
Oh no! I just bought this! I’ll still try it, since $ right? But I trust your opinion. Bummer! Thanks for all that you do, and have done this year Samantha. You have inspired me in ways you don’t even know.
