About this item

Is she following a path of redemption or an enemy’s revenge? A crime reporter’s traumatic past comes back to haunt her in a twisting novel of lies, betrayals, and killer secrets.

Investigative crime journalist Signe Gates’s life became a nightmare the day she was kidnapped and drugged. After forty-eight missing hours, she woke to a blur of unsettling memories and a warning from her unknown abductors: tell anyone what happened and they’ll die. They’ve already proved they will deliver on that threat.

For two years, Signe has been haunted by what she knows she did and terrified of what else could be buried in her memories.

Then an informant tells her two men recently found dead in Yosemite are connected to her missing hours, and more answers await her in the park’s backwoods. But she must hurry. Desperate to know who targeted her and why, she has no choice but to embark on the dangerous journey.

With a seasoned hiker acting as her guide, Signe ventures into the wilderness to solve a crime, get justice for the crimes committed against her, and overcome her demons. If only she could trust the man leading her into the backwoods…

Because with each new suspicion, deliverance is starting to look more and more like a trap.

So many twists, well fleshed out characters, believable dialogue... I loved it & hope for a sequel and/or more R. S. Grant novels on audible. ????????????????????

Great read

After winning this book on a Goodreads give away, I dove right in. It was suspenseful and well written, and also brought light to the world of human trafficking and the disturbing world that goes on behind closed doors that many no nothing about. The book kept me interested, and had many twists and turns. I would recommend reading.

Quick read with numerous plot twists

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2023

This is a quick read with numerous plot twists.
Even though it’s a little predictable, it’s an enjoyable read. As always with Grant’s books, there’s also educational content with archaeology and science. The main character Signe is determined and smart. There are a few typos which can be distracting at times.

Thrilling Read

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023

As usual with Rachel Grant’s (R S Grant) books, I found myself on a thrill ride from beginning to the actual ending. What a great locale for a mystery to unfold. I found myself wanting to visit Yosemite to revisit the book’s suspenseful sites. Signe Gates is the main character in search of the missing 48 hours in her life.
Tackling human trafficking and rape is a difficult enough task , so I personally appreciate the fact that this author took on this tremendous responsibility. Thank you for that!
Thoroughly captivating read. If you read any book, please do yourself a favor and read this one.
I read this book as a part of her ARC team and I am reviewing this book as truthfully and thoughtfully as I can.

i would not consider this a perfect book. i did enjoy it however. there were no real surprises in the story, but the characters were fine. i do appreciate that it was trying to tackle a tough subject with the human trafficking side. i feel that aspect was handled well.

Great story.

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024

I hate human trafficking and this story was a hard read. I wish Cole could have been more honest with Signe because I thought the story would have been better. I wanted her to have someone on her side from the beginning. Also, people are out to get her, and she took too many stupid chances over and over. I thought that was just unrealistic.

Intense, dark, and gritty with great twists and turns!

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2023

Fantastic and intense, loved it all! Absolutely unputdownable read with darker overtones, suspense, mystery, deceit, secrets, and many shocking twists and turns. Good guys, bad guys…who’s really who, and how does everything connect? It’s an adrenaline rush full of questions and shocking discoveries with heartbreaking and terrifying outcomes with a dash of romance and a happy ending.

*I received an ARC from NetGalley via the publisher and/or author and I voluntarily reviewed the book. All thoughts and opinions are solely my own. Thank you for the amazing read!
