DESCRIPTION:

The last girl went missing…
Someone doesn’t want her to be found.

When Sloane takes a job at the infamous whitewater rafting camp, Widow Falls, she quickly learns that the camp has a reputation for more than just summer fun.

People go missing at Widow Falls.

The guide she’s replacing was just one of many. As Sloane settles into her new home—a one-room apartment she’ll be sharing with the five other guides—she can’t help asking questions and digging into the disappearances she’s heard about. Her new roommates tell her stories of dark legends and dangerous folklore surrounding the secluded camp but assure her there’s nothing to worry about. It’s all just superstition.

When Sloane stumbles upon a clue and a secret message hidden beneath the floorboards of their loft, she begins to realize there may be more to the myths than she’s been told.

The message gets her attention: Don’t trust anyone at Widow Falls.

As she follows clues to better understand the missing guide she replaced, Sloane can’t help noticing the similarities between the two of them.

What happened to the other girl?
Why won’t the others help her search?
Are they all in danger?

Whatever’s happening at Widow Falls, it’s clear someone doesn’t want her digging into it. As the seams of her reality are torn apart, making her question everything she sees, feels, and believes, Sloane will have to uncover the truth about the camp—and its occupants—before someone else goes missing.

Because this time…it might be her.


MY THOUGHTS:
 
It’s not just a job for Sloane. She’s replacing someone that was a guide for an upcoming rafting trip. It doesn’t take her long to realize that there are a lot of rumors, perhaps myths, or folklore even, that are being spread about and she soon finds her self embroiled in an impossible situation.

One simple clue that includes a secret message begins a roller coaster of events that pull Sloane into a direction that she has no control over. One of the things that she wonders is who is it that she is replacing on this rafting trip? Why did that individual disappear and what is all the whispering and plotting that is going on every time she turns? Simply because Sloane wants answers does not mean that she’s going to get them. In fact, the more she pushes, the more danger she faces.

In this fast-paced story, the reader will be left guessing. Every time you think you have the answer, think again, because the tide literally turns quickly leading to a complicated web of activity, danger and suspense. 

Many thanks to Kiersten Modglin and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
