A missing girl on a journey of revenge. A Serial―like podcast following the clues she’s left behind. And an ending you won’t be able to stop talking about.

Sadie hasn’t had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she’s been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water.

But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie’s entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister’s killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him.

When West McCray―a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America―overhears Sadie’s story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie’s journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it’s too late.

I kept hearing about how good this audio was. And it was good! I think for me it just didn’t quite live up to the hype.

Thanks, giphy!

What I Liked:

I loved the set up of the audio! I kept hearing people rave about it and I absolutely loved the podcasts! It was a full cast audio, which is also a huge plus in my book. It was a great mystery. There were a lot of twists. I didn’t figure out whodunnit – but honestly, I never do.

What I Didn’t Like:

Honestly, I think this book was just too hyped up for me. It was good, but just kind of eh at parts. I didn’t love Sadie’s story. I enjoyed the podcasts much much more and honestly just wanted a book full of the podcasts and interviews. Also the ending wasn’t great to me – but I won’t give anything away!

Would I Recommend?

I mean, yeah, I guess. It’s a good mystery and full cast audio, which always lifts them up a notch to me. I honestly think this was just too hyped and I had my hopes up way too high.
