WOWZERS 🤯
I recently got the ARC on NetGalley for “when they find me” by Carter Wilson (author of tell me what you did) I’ll be honest I absolutely DID NOT like tell me what you did, so I went optimistic about this one. This one was INSANE. SO good this releases on 11/10/26 and make sure you add it to your TBR list right now!
“Some secrets don't fade. They hunt.
Expanse, Colorado. Population 313. A town so remote it barely exists on a map―the perfect hiding place for Annie Wolfe and her daughter, Coral. Their cabin is nearly off the grid, and Annie has done everything to keep them safe. Everything. But she knows the people hunting her don't forget. And they don't forgive.
Riven knows about survival. She and her family have lived off the land for years, moving like shadows through the wilderness. Now her father has led them to this forgotten town, tracking the man he swears destroyed their lives. The plan is simple: strike fast, take revenge, and disappear.
But when Riven knocks on Annie's door, their worlds collide. What follows is darker, stranger, and more dangerous than either woman ever imagined―because the hunt isn't just for vengeance. It's for the truth. And in Expanse, Colorado, the truth can kill.”
Reading 'When They Find Me' was an exhilarating journey into a world where survival instincts are pushed to the limits. The remote setting of Expanse, Colorado, with a tiny population and a nearly off-the-grid cabin, creates an eerie atmosphere that heightens the tension throughout the story. What struck me most was how Wilson masterfully blends psychological suspense with action — the hunt for truth and revenge intertwine in ways that keep you guessing until the last page. The depiction of Riven and her family's survival skills adds a raw, authentic edge to the novel. Their life moving silently through the wilderness, always cautious and ready for conflict, really pulled me in. It reminded me of other intense survival stories I've read where the natural environment is almost another character, shaping the narrative and the characters' decisions. I also appreciated the theme of dark secrets that refuse to stay buried, a core element that drives the plot forward. The tagline "Some secrets don’t fade. They hunt." perfectly captures the novel’s chilling mood. This wasn’t just a story about revenge; it was about confronting the painful truth and the costs that come with it. Fans of thrillers like "Tell Me What You Did" will find this novel has a similar intensity but with a fresh storyline that feels more compelling. The "wrong place, wrong time" scenario, amplified by the heart-pounding survival mode, gives a great twist to the classic thriller formula. If you're looking to add a gripping book with crazy twists and a Christmas-time thriller vibe to your TBR list, don't miss "When They Find Me" when it releases. It’s a novel that will keep you on edge and remind you why we love suspenseful, adrenaline-filled reads.
