I’ve read other mysteries by Mary Keliikoa so I was excited to see that there was a new Misty Pines book out by her.

This was a twisty thriller that kept me guessing right until the end. I will say that I felt like I was figuring out things faster than the protagonists, but then I ended up being wrong! While reading this, I was thinking that it would make a good movie.

Thanks for my copy and for making me part of the tour!
