Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek

Summary

'If I hadn't walked into the room at that moment, maybe everything would have worked out differently. Maybe everything would have been all right after all . . .'

Port Sentinel may be a beautiful seaside tourist trap, but in the short time Jess Tennant has lived there, it has seen its fair share of tragedy. Tragedy that somehow Jess keeps getting caught up in.

A schoolgirl from the town goes missing, leaving her diary behind and a lot of unanswered questions. Has she run away from her unhappy home or is there something much more sinister going on? And can Jess find her before it's too late?

Reviews

  • Using part romance, part mystery, part family drama, Casey manages to develop multiple plots simultaneously in the Jess Tennant series. Jess is a character who is stubborn, tough, and headstrong but also has a soft side for those in need; she is, in fact, compelled to eliminate injustice. Jess’s distrust of authority is what drives her determination, and as it turns out, she is not wrong about the corrupt adults creating friction in her life
