Synopsis:
A young, street-savvy runaway looking for a place to call home realizes he might have conned his way into the wrong family in this fast-paced and thrilling novel from award-winning author Cristin Terrill. When ten-year-old Daniel Tate went missing from one of California's most elite communities, he left no trace. He simply vanished. Six years later, when he resurfaces on a snowy street in Vancouver, he's no longer the same boy. His sandy hair is darker, the freckles are gone, and he's initially too traumatized to speak, but he's alive. His overjoyed family brings him home to a world of luxury and comfort he can barely remember. In time, they assure him, he'll recover his memories; all that matters now is they're together again. It's perfect. A miracle. Except for one thing. He isn't Daniel Tate. He's a petty con artist who accidentally stumbled into the scam of a lifetime, and he soon learns he's not the only one in the Tate household with something to hide. The family has as many secrets as they have millions in the bank, and one of them might be ready to kill to keep the worst one buried.
Shannon's Review:
This book was a whirlwind of twists and turns but I throughly enjoyed it. The mystery in this story continues to build from beginning to end and I loved seeing it all unfold. I really enjoyed the family in this story who at first is seemingly normal but who you realize doesn't actually have it all together. The ending of this story was phenomenal.
Sarah's Review:
I love an unreliable narrator, and Daniel Tate fits the bill. He remains unreliable right up to the end, and it made my head spin. The Tate family is very dysfunctional (understandably), and that made the mystery that much better. I predicted some things, but definitely not all. I really hope the author continues to write, because I already want to read more of her work.
