Synopsis: When Sheriff Yolanda Demetriou receives boxes of notebooks, she has no idea of the horrors that lie ahead. Will she be able to piece together the information and locate the house where childhood dreams become nightmares? Or will she be too late to save an abducted girl?

In this dark psychological thriller, Yolanda and her team embark on a hunt for a monster, following maddeningly sparse clues in a race to solve a heartless crime.

Review: Overall, this was an ok book. The plot was intriguing and the pacing was well done. The author did well at writing it.

However, the book is super short and the heavily impedes the character development, the world building, and eliminates the possible plot twists that could have been used. The book is good, but there’s very little information and I think the book would have been better as a fully fleshed out book about 350-400 pages.

Verdict: It was good, but just too small.
