Review: Holly Jackson has done it again!! This was an AMAZING mystery!! The writing was SPOT-ON. This was another edge-of-the-seat mystery. The plot was fast paced at the end, but a little slower near the start. The characters were well described, but I didn’t actually love the main character near the beginning either. The ending though!! It was amazing!! It wrapped up all the little details perfectly without any plot holes!!
Main Characters:
Anabel Price- Bel is the daughter of a famous missing person. She’s a senior in high school and has a rough, harsh, exterior. In reality though, she really isn’t mean. She loves her family and can be very passionate.
Rachel Price- Rachel is Bel’s mom. She went missing 16 years ago and only just showed back up. She also loves her family, but stays mysterious.
Carter Price- Carter is a few years younger than Bel, and is her cousin. Though, she and Bel are always spending time together. She loves to dance.
Character Rating: 7.1/10
Setting:
Bel and her family live in a small town in New Hampshire. At the beginning of the book, Bel and her dad live on the same street as Carter and her parents.
Setting Rating: 8.2/10
