Thank you to Macmillan Audio, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for the review copies of this mystery thriller.

I was intrigued from page one since a ghost/spirit narrates the prologue. Set in rural British Columbia, Canada, the novel was written to draw attention to real unsolved disappearances/murders of First Nation women in the area.

The novel features two main characters, Hailey and Beth, young women who have experienced great loss in their lives. Given their ages, this felt a bit YA at times. I didn't anticipate the 'outdoorsy" lifestyles of the characters, although I should have, given the setting. It was great to have a dog as an important character in the story!

I always appreciate audiobooks with multiple narrators when done well and enjoyed the performances of Isabella Star LaBlanc, Angela Dawe, and Brittany Pressley.

This was my first Chevy Stevens novel but it won't be the last.
