Oh do I wish Rhett was real! Like, yes, he was a bit of a douche at the start, but even then, he was lovable & hilarious.
I will say, one of my favorite parts of this story was seeing both Rhett & Summer learn to not only trust other people again, but also now to let themselves actually live for once, rather than chase approval. Cowboy romances are definitely something I'm going to continue reading because these men are just freaking hot and sweet & everything I'd want in a real man but would be very hard pressed to find in real life.
I was a little hesitant at first to read this book as well as this author in general, just because her books are so hyped & loved, but I can see why now, and am definitely jumping on that bandwagon. Seriously, this was amazing, and I'm so happy that I've discovered this new author to put on my "immediate read” list!

Ooo this book made me really reconsider whether I was going crazy. I kid you not, I thought I was imagining things for a moment there while reading it.
This was a bit easy to predict in terms of the twists/plot points, but I still did really enjoy this book. It was an interesting take on a true crime/mystery, and overall, was well-written.
Favorite Quotes:
- Shes alwasy on the lookout for demons
- Only some deaths matter
- She was used to not being believed
- Do the good guys want to hurt you too
- There are just so many ways for a girl to disappear
- Those girls who could never give uo on huim, no matter the terrible things he did
- There is responsibility in being the one who didn’t die
- Because the girl you once were can never be fully left behind
- But she never forgest what America really looks like. It is a landscape of the lost
- There is no crime of which I do not deem myself capable
- Not all good deeds go unpunished
