Review

Leo and Paris Hollings are sisters who live in Las Vegas with their mother who is constantly on the move with one boyfriend after another. Paris and Leo regularly eat pie at their local favorite diner and are doing just that when, one day, Paris suddenly disappears. Paris has the car, all the money they have including Leo's college money that she has removed from the savings account.

Max, a stranger who Leo and Paris had struck up a conversation just prior to Paris' disappearance, over pie, notices that Leo has been left stranded at the diner. Max offers to help as he has a car, money and does not appear to be a "serial killer," and after reading a cryptic note from Paris they begin the search for her through Las Vegas all the way to California.

Stay calm, Leo.This is the only way. He's making me. You have to find me. Paris.

You need to leave this house, Leo. You need to find me. Now.

And they do.

Once the sister's reunite, Leo is forced to face something that has been happening in their home to both of them. As sisters who love one another they finally are able to face the truth.

Overall Book Score: excellent
