Super intense, way more so than her other series but it was so twisty and suspenseful that I loved it.

I would give this one a 3.5 rating. I found the book to flow at a snails pace and rather underwhelming.

The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson was such an incredible read! From the very beginning, it kept me hooked, and every time I thought I had the mystery figured out, another twist completely changed everything. The suspense kept building, and I found myself constantly saying, “Just one more chapter!” Holly Jackson does an amazing job of creating believable characters and weaving together a story that’s full of unexpected turns without ever feeling confusing. The ending completely caught me off guard in the best way. If you love fast-paced mystery thrillers with plenty of twists, suspense, and shocking reveals, I highly recommend this book. It’s definitely one of those stories that keeps you guessing until the very end!

I genuinely enjoyed this book! A lot of thrillers are really predictable or try to make a bunch of twisted turns that don’t make sense, but I think this one was a great one. You kind of sense what’s happening but also get thrown off a lot. I think it was pretty unpredicted and a really fun read!
