The Nashville woods hold a killer’s deadly secrets in this cold case thriller by the New York Times bestselling author of You’re Not Safe. Years ago, three Nashville teenagers went into the woods for a hike—and only one came out. While her two friends disappeared without a trace, Amber Ryder was discovered at the bottom of a ravine with a broken arm, head trauma, and zero memory of the horror that put her there. With no leads, the investigation hit a dead end. Now another woman’s body is found it the woods. When the trail leads to the missing teens’ remains, the cold case becomes a fresh hell for forensic technician Georgia Morgan. But while Georgia works with Amber to try and reawaken her memories, her gut tells her the worst is yet to come. Homicide Detective Jake Bishop can’t be sure whether Amber is an expert manipulator or the killer’s next target. Either way, he’s determined to protect Georgia. Because the more she digs into the past, the more deadly secrets emerge. And a nightmare years in the making is about to come to a bloody, terrifying end.

Probably closer to 3.5. Like the other novels from this author, they're very engaging. Like, extremely. This one is right in the middle between straight up mystery and romantic suspense.
The ONLY thing, though, is that the other thing I noticed about this author is that she seems to consistently take the creepy factor a bit too far. We very quickly go from creepy to gross and a new level of disturbing. That definitely and unfortunately takes away from the enjoyment of the story.
I received an ARC from Netgalley.
I enjoyed the storyline, but didn't feel like the ending really explained anything. I did enjoy the forensic aspects of the story, but felt that they weren't fully developed. I wish the book could have just ignored the romantic suspense part and fully developed the mystery and the villain. The ending just left me wanting more, like not enough was explained. Overall not bad though.
