“If there’s one thing fear can do, it’s make a beast out of a shadow. It turns us all into monsters.” 

QUICK SUMMARY

Except, during the wedding, Caroline, the friends daughter disappears and the only thing left behind is a piece of her dress covered in blood. Liz frantic to help her friend find their missing child will stop at nothing, but unfortunatley that means digging up the past.. Which people want to keep hidden.

FINAL THOUGHTS
It honeslty took me a hot minute to gather my thoughts. This book is so much more than the surface level story. I honestly am still having trouble voicing my opinions, the story brought real world issues into a fantastical story. So much so that people might not realize. Missing Black girl? Who is going to look for her? After reading other reviews, I fully believe that people have missed the point. Or maybe I am reading too much into it?
