Elin Warner is on vacation with her brother Isaac in a nation park in Portugal, the last place a missing woman has been seen. It's a time for the siblings to reconnect and strengthen their bond, but when the final map of the missing woman, Kier, is found, it seems that the clues are falling into place the deeper they get into the forest. After a huge discovery, Elin finds out that the disappearance is more personal to her. Always seeking the truth, she is trying to find out what else the wilderness is hiding.

Kier Templer lives life on the road simply trying to outrun her mother's infamous crimes. Kier has left her home and twin brother behind. Even with him behind she has always designed and drawn distinctive maps of everywhere she has been. When the maps stop, her brother Penn, knows something seriously must be wrong.

This book knocked the absolute wind out of me. Once again Sarah Pearse did it again, the third installment of the Elin Warner series is hands down my favorite novel of the year. Its twists and turns, keep you captivated, and you never see where the story is going. The entire premise of the camp was lovely, and I think a needed place for Elin to visit, especially with what has happened to her in the last year. The entire twist with Steed was out of the blue, frightening, and so realistic in this day and age that it was scary. What excited me most about this story is the final outcome and also that Elin and Issac are finally repairing their relationship and it's beautifully done.
