Parent’s Weekend at College should be a bonding weekend for parents to come see what their kids are up to, meet their friends, and see how messy their dorm rooms are. This year, the excitement quickly turns into a terrifying situation when five students go missing. 

FBI agent Sarah Kellar is brought in to support when one of the missing students is found to be the son of a government official. Using her investigative skills, Kellar makes connections between the missing students and uncovers a complex web of friendship, secrets, and serious accusations. 

The author expertly wove so many twists and turns into this narrative. Every new bit of information created even more questions as the narrative progressed and the story depended. Every time I thought I had it figured out, there was a new twist. The ending was skillfully crafted and brought the story to a satisfying conclusion. I highly recommend this book!

Thank you NetGalley, the author Alex Finlay and St. Martin’s Press for allowing me the chance to read this ARC novel in exchange for my honest opinion.
