Jessica Waters was looking forward to attending college in the fall with her best friend, Sandra Adams. But after Sandra disappears, mutual friend, Jason Harris becomes the number one suspect. However Jason isn’t the only suspect Sandra admitted to having an affair with her coach the night before she disappeared.. Now Jessica is determined to figure out what happened Sandra even if it is the last thing she ever does.
The New Mexico setting for Leave No Trace is perfect. This story would no have worked anywhere else I don’t think. Jessica is strong and determined both qualities are sometimes hard to portray in a book. A lot of the time strong and determined girls/woman come off as hard when you read the words. it was very easy for me to picture Jessica searching for the answers she needed. She is the friend we all want in life.
When Roxe Anne and I first became Facebook friends I always loved the things she posted. Being Facebook friends with several authors I noticed that Roxe Anne was more artistic than others (not that they are any less amazing. ) So when she was looking for someone to review her book I jumped at the chance to read her work. I am so glad that I did.
Roxe Anne has written a story worthy of Nora Roberts (and you all know how I feel about Ms. Roberts.) This is a story that is not perfect for adults but for teens as well which rare.
