Thirteen-year-old Lainey Emerson is the middle child in a home police are already familiar with: her mother works too much and her stepfather favors his own blood over another man’s problems—namely Lainey and her wild older sister, Liza. So when Lainey does not come home from a Friday night out with her friends, it is dismissed by the Coral Springs P.D. as just another disillusioned South Florida teen running away from suburban drama and an unhappy home life.
My Thoughts: Jilliane Hoffman does a good job of writing from the perspectives of many different characters with plenty of style - her talent for this really adds depth to the book and draws you into the stories of the different characters. Other than this, there is nothing really too memorable about the plot - although I did find it tricky to put down at the time of reading. It is a good and easy read that doesn't go too much into intricate details or gore and has enough suspense to keep you happy.
Recommendations: Crime fans looking for something that has pace and grit but doesn't go too far into gory details will love Hoffman's debut.
I RATED THIS 5/10
