feelinnocane 's review for:

Portrait of a Shadow by Meriam Metoui
2.0

Warning: This story does end on a cliffhanger. The main character in this tale is Mae; her sister Inez went missing five years ago, and just about everyone has given up the search. Mae is desperate to find her, perhaps to help ease the tension with her parents, and starts retracing her steps to get answers. Amidst all this mystery stands a single white painting. The author does an excellent job of pulling you into the story, and just when you think you have it all figured out, she drops a twist. The narrative starts slowly but is a compelling ride and I can not wait to see how the story ends.
