Lies We Bury by Elle Marr.

Synopsis:

I was born in captivity…

Two decades ago Marissa Mo escaped a basement prison—the only home she’d ever known. At twenty-seven, Marissa’s moved beyond the trauma and is working under a new name as a freelance photographer. But when she accepts a job covering a string of macabre murders in Portland, it’s impossible for Marissa not to remember.

Everything is eerily familiar. The same underground lairs. Sad trinkets and toys left behind, identical to those Marissa had as a child. And then there is the note meant just for her that freezes Marissa’s blood: See you soon, Missy.

To determine the killer’s next move, Marissa must retrieve her long-forgotten memories and return to a past she’s hidden away. But she won’t be facing her fears alone. Someone is waiting for her in the dark.

Review:

I picked this as it was one of the selected books for the month from amazon.

The background story is interlaced into the present day story line so we become attached to the characters and how they went from a life held hostage in a basement to learning to survive in the real world. There was just the right amount of twists without it becoming too far fetched. It did end a little too suddenly for me, it would have been nice to have a bit more of what happened after but it wasn't enough to give it less stars.
