Star Rating: Three Stars

I’m not sure how to feel about this book. The description of it was really intriguing, but it was also wildly misleading. And because of that, it made the book confusing, or in this case, the audio book.

Basically the book is supposed to be about these two sisters, Nick and Dara who are inseparable until some mysterious accident that happened a few months ago, leaving Dara’s face scarred and their relationship broken.

The story goes back and forth between before the accident and after.

There is also a nine-year-old girl who goes missing, Madeline Snow, that is kind of in the background of the story, but comes up every once and awhile. Then Dara disappears on her birthday, and Nick becomes convinced that the two are connected.

The description makes it seem like the disappearance of her sister and the little girl will be the focus of the book, but Dara doesn’t even disappear until near the end of the book, which at first doesn’t make much sense.

But the twist at the ending, I guess puts it all into perspective. *SPOILER it’s some Sixth Sense shit, and her sister has actually been dead the whole time. Which, looking back at certain scenes and certain chapters, makes it all a little less confusing than when I was reading.

I did enjoy the audio book, but the story was drawn on, and it wasn’t a page turner for me.
