Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.
When Effie ran away from the New Zealand bush when she was 15, she cut all ties and vowed never to return. But when a girl who looks just like her appears in town, she’s drawn back to help the girl and understand what happened to her.
Effie left an abusive, neglected past, and this girl seems to have survived something similar. Because their family’s home was so remote, only Effie knows how to navigate to it to discover what happened. This book was a great thriller with excellent twists. I can’t say I’ve ever read a book set in the NZ bush, so this was a fascinating dive into the flora and fauna. I definitely recommend this book.
Pleasant Nights
