Kira Bennett's earliest memories are of living alone and wild in the woods. She has no idea how long she was on her own or what she had to do to survive, but she remembers the moment that Cady Bennett and one of her search-and-rescue dogs found her. Adopted into the Bennett family, Kira still struggles with human interaction years later, but she excels at the family business: search-and-rescue. Along with Cady's son, Jude, and their neighbor, Free, Kira works alongside Cady to train the world's most elite search-and-rescue dogs. Someday, all three teenagers hope to put their skills to use, finding the lost and bringing them home.
But when Cady's estranged father, the enigmatic Bales Bennett, tracks his daughter down and asks for her help in locating a missing child—one of several visitors who has disappeared in the Sierra Glades National Park in the past 12 months—the teens find themselves on the front lines sooner than they could have ever expected. As the search through 750,000 acres of unbridled wilderness intensifies, Kira becomes obsessed with finding the missing child. She knows all too well what it's like to be lost in the wilderness, fighting for survival, alone.
But this case isn't simple. There is more afoot than a single, missing girl, and Kira's memories threaten to overwhelm her at every turn. As the danger mounts and long-held family secrets come to light, Kira is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her adopted family, her true nature, and her past.

I loved this book

I wish I could give it more than 5 stars, because it’s one of the best books I’ve read in awhile!
A definite must read!

I was drawn in pretty much instantly. The main character, Kira, is so interesting. She’s so strong and resilient while still realistically a little broken. I love the relationships between her and all the other characters, especially her brother Jude and her dog Saskia.
Jude was another great character. So fun to read. The perfect balance to Kira.
Oh, and the dogs! You definitely can’t leave out the dogs! I love how each of the dogs had a name and a personality. I feel like it would have been easily in a book with so many dogs to for some to just be “Free’s partner” or something like that. As a dog lover, I’m so glad the author didn’t go that route. I enjoyed learning the names and personalities of each one.
I was a little bummed that the ending didn’t wrap up some of the storylines as much as I would like. There are definitely some elements that beg for a sequel but the author said on Tumblr in 2019 that she didn’t know if there would ever be a sequel. That’s the reason this got 4 stars instead of 5 for me. Those unresolved storylines eat away at me.
I still definitely recommend reading it though! Looking forward to trying another of Barnes’ books to see if they are all just as good as these first two I tried.
The narrator on this one did a good job. She gave the characters distinctive enough voices to know who was talking and her voice was a good fit for the main character.
Another winner from Jennifer Lynn Barnes!
