Our Hip Scouts review The River:
The River was such a good read. There was enough mystery to keep you wondering what secrets were being kept so you just had to keep reading. There were so many emotions going on--sadness, anger, confusion, worry, and love. Ronnie was an interesting character that I could relate to.

What lies beyond the river when a young girl goes missing? Don't miss out on the complex and haunting secrets that behold The River.

The River was a thought-provoking thriller mystery. I enjoyed the many twist and turns and never saw the ending coming. I read that book in 24 hours straight. I hope this author writes more books.
