A missing child, a distraught mother, and a killer on the loose set the stage for a brutal bloodbath in the Florida Everglades in this thrilling read, perfect for fans of Wendy Walker and Megan Goldin.
When six-year-old Skye disappears from Everglades City, Noa is hesitant to return to her hometown to help with the search effort. Skye is the daughter of Noa’s ex, Zack, and Taylor, the girl he dumped her for. Going home also means facing the townspeople who have always misunderstood Noa’s medical condition, Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, and dealing with more of their ignorant comments.
 
But returning home is just the beginning of Noa's painful journey. When her childhood friend, Jamie, is assaulted by a vagrant, Noa intervenes in a violent counterattack—and the man’s fingerprints are found near Skye’s DNA. As Noa gets closer to the truth of who kidnapped Skye, she starts to uncover secrets about her hometown that she didn’t expect.
 
Nothing and no one are what they seem in this small Florida backwater—and any good friend can quickly become a deadly enemy.

      A public relations manager with a rare malady is called back to the home she put behind her to help someone she never wants to see again. Back in high school, Zack Flynn may have been Noa Romwell's one and only, but she clearly wasn't his, as he showed when he took her virginity and then left her for beautiful Taylor Spells. Now karma has turned on Zack and Taylor, whose 6-year-old daughter, Skye, has disappeared. After leaving Everglades City for Miami specifically to get away from Zack, Noa is in no mood to go back. But her parents, who run the Bramble Rose B&B, wear her down, and soon she's left South Beach for her hometown to help with the search for Skye. Zack's so distracted that it's hard to get close to him, and Taylor is still Taylor. That leaves Jamie Camden, Zack's best friend in high school and more recently Skye's godfather, and Noa finds herself warming to him once again. One big obstacle stands in the way of their renewed friendship, though: Noa's announcement that she's been cured of congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis even though no one ever is cured of CIPA. If it doesn't sound so bad to be unable to weep or sweat or feel pain, rest assured that Finlay has pointed out dozens of ways Noa's disorder will have consequences that range from inconvenient to life-threatening. Be warned: Some of her adventures may be even more trying to her readers, like the second time she gets knocked out and locked up. A so-so mystery upstaged by the determined heroine it's clearly designed to showcase.
