Week 41 Review: The Safest Lies

From Goodreads:

Can fear be inherited?

Kelsey has lived most of her life in a shadow of fear, raised to see danger everywhere. Her mother hasn't set foot outside their front door in seventeen years, since she escaped from her kidnappers with nothing but her attacker's baby growing inside her—Kelsey.

Kelsey knows she's supposed to keep a low profile for their own protection, but that plan is shattered when she drives off a cliff and is rescued by volunteer firefighter and classmate Ryan Baker.

A few days later, she arrives home to face her greatest fear: her mother is missing. She and her mother have drilled for all contingencies—except this one. Luckily, Ryan is as skilled at emergency rescues as Kelsey is at escape and evasion.

To have a chance at a future, Kelsey will have to face all her darkest fears. Because someone is coming for her.

And the truth about the past may end up being the most dangerous thing of all.

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading these books! I'm glad that I'm getting to these backlist Megan Miranda books, I missed them when they came out, but I've really fallen in love with her adult mysteries, that I had to read all of her books, and I'm enjoying them all so much!

Kelsey hasn't had it easy growing up-she's the product of rape that happened while her mom was held captive, and her mom has raised her to fear the outside world, basically. But when she comes home and her mom's gone, well, that's not a good situation!

This was a fantastic read, and I'm one book closer to catching up with all the books that Megan Miranda has published!
