The Lost Girl: A Shelby Day Novel by Holly Kammier


Nice quick read for me and surprisingly I really enjoyed it. At points I started to think it wasn't going to work but I ended up not being able to put it down. I also at end felt that I would love to see if their is more Shelby Novels out or to come in the future. 

This story revolves around the investigative reporter, Shelby, who is the first on the scene at a double murder. She knows this could make her career if she can get details that the other reporters can't. 

However, she also feels connection to the victims and really does want the killer to be caught. It gives an extra incentive for her to dig into what happened that she might not have done otherwise. It also makes it easier to like her as she's not just another journalist looking for a story.

Unfortunately because of this Shelby get herself and others into trouble and has to rush solving the mystery to save them and herself. 

I felt that the characters weren't as in depth as could have been. Part of me felt this was a negative point but after some other more upsetting or in depth stories I also felt this was a lighter quicker read that I was in need of. 

I would still definitely be willing to recommend for others to try and would love some feedback on what your thoughts are.
