Summary
The last girl went missing…
Someone doesn’t want her to be found。
When Sloane takes a job at the infamous whitewater rafting camp， Widow Falls， she quickly learns that the camp has a reputation for more than just summer fun。
People go missing at Widow Falls。
The guide she’s replacing was just one of many。 As Sloane settles into her new home—a one-room apartment she’ll be sharing with the five other guides—she can’t help asking questions and digging into the disappearances she’s heard about。 Her new roommates tell her stories of dark legends and dangerous folklore surrounding the secluded camp but assure her there’s nothing to worry about。 It’s all just superstition。
When Sloane stumbles upon a clue and a secret message hidden beneath the floorboards of their loft， she begins to realize there may be more to the myths than she’s been told。
The message gets her attention: Don’t trust anyone at Widow Falls。
As she follows clues to better understand the missing guide she replaced， Sloane can’t help noticing the similarities between the two of them。
What happened to the other girl？
Why won’t the others help her search？
Are they all in danger？
Whatever’s happening at Widow Falls， it’s clear someone doesn’t want her digging into it。 As the seams of her reality are torn apart， making her question everything she sees， feels， and believes， Sloane will have to uncover the truth about the camp—and its occupants—before someone else goes missing。
Because this time…it might be her。

Wow this author is quickly becoming a favorite。 While this one wasn't as good as some of the others I read I still really enjoyed this story。 It was mysterious without being to vague。 I loved most of the characters。 Some of them I wasn't the biggest fan of some of them but they didn't take me away from the story。 I will continue to read from this author。 Wow this author is quickly becoming a favorite。 While this one wasn't as good as some of the others I read I still really enjoyed this story。 It was mysterious without being to vague。 I loved most of the characters。 Some of them I wasn't the biggest fan of some of them but they didn't take me away from the story。 I will continue to read from this author。 。。。more

Sloane takes a job as a white water rafting instructor to make some money。 The other guys and girls seem nice enough and it just might be a fun way to earn some cash。 When Sloane finds out about the girl who is missing， whose place she took， she can't help this nagging feeling that something's wrong。 As time passes， you don't really know what's going on， only that something's going on， it's not good， and it's quite a fun trip for the reader discovering what that is。 I will definitely look for mo Sloane takes a job as a white water rafting instructor to make some money。 The other guys and girls seem nice enough and it just might be a fun way to earn some cash。 When Sloane finds out about the girl who is missing， whose place she took， she can't help this nagging feeling that something's wrong。 As time passes， you don't really know what's going on， only that something's going on， it's not good， and it's quite a fun trip for the reader discovering what that is。 I will definitely look for more Kiersten Modglin books。 #widowfalls 。。。more

DNF at a little over halfway through。 Could not get on board with this Mary Sue heroine who wanders cluelessly through the chapters of Widow Falls。 Seriously， in the study alone with her employer: “He poured four drinks。 Why？？” Oh， honey。 No， of course no normal female human would just naturally assume the drinks mean there are more people coming; she would of course arrive at that （and every） conclusion very， very， VERY slowly。 Sorry if my annoyance is showing， but a book rated 4-point-somethin DNF at a little over halfway through。 Could not get on board with this Mary Sue heroine who wanders cluelessly through the chapters of Widow Falls。 Seriously， in the study alone with her employer: “He poured four drinks。 Why？？” Oh， honey。 No， of course no normal female human would just naturally assume the drinks mean there are more people coming; she would of course arrive at that （and every） conclusion very， very， VERY slowly。 Sorry if my annoyance is showing， but a book rated 4-point-something on here should just be better than this。 Not a bad concept， but the execution needed at least one more edit。 2/5。 I wanted to like this book！ But sadly， I did not。 。。。more

Sloane has taken a job at Widow Falls as a rapids guide needing a change after some painful events in her life。 She’s a mid-season replacement to another guide， Landry， that went missing and the secrecy around her disappearance raises red flags。 Odd living arrangements， shifty fellow guides and the missing girl’s journey makes Sloane suspicious of everyone’s motives。 What happened to Landry and why is everyone so cagey about the circumstances？ As Sloane reads more of Landry’s journal and compare Sloane has taken a job at Widow Falls as a rapids guide needing a change after some painful events in her life。 She’s a mid-season replacement to another guide， Landry， that went missing and the secrecy around her disappearance raises red flags。 Odd living arrangements， shifty fellow guides and the missing girl’s journey makes Sloane suspicious of everyone’s motives。 What happened to Landry and why is everyone so cagey about the circumstances？ As Sloane reads more of Landry’s journal and compares it with the versions of “truth” given by her guide-mates， and things don’t add up。I felt drawn in as if Sloane was telling her story directly to me， her discomfort in the living/working situation and immediate suspicions gave an edge to her story right away。 Short， suspenseful chapters made it imperative to get through the story to find out what the heck was going on。 I will say that after the buildup finding out what was going on was a bit of a letdown， and the ending was a little odd and confusing。 Still， Widow Falls was a fast， entertaining listen。 I thought Jess Nahikian did a nice job conveying Sloane's distress and she did a wonderful job with both the male and female voices。 A copy was kindly provided by Dreamscape Media in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Sloane starts at a white water rafting company mid season and finds it hard to fit in。 She discovers that the girl that had the position before her disappeared。 As she starts to piece together what happened to her， she isn’t sure how concerned she should be。This is the third Kiersten Modglin book I’ve read and what I like most about her books is the twists have twists up until the very last word。 I’m never sure who is reliable and what will happen next。 And I usually find in the twisty thriller Sloane starts at a white water rafting company mid season and finds it hard to fit in。 She discovers that the girl that had the position before her disappeared。 As she starts to piece together what happened to her， she isn’t sure how concerned she should be。This is the third Kiersten Modglin book I’ve read and what I like most about her books is the twists have twists up until the very last word。 I’m never sure who is reliable and what will happen next。 And I usually find in the twisty thriller world that authors use similar plots that could become predictable， but all three of the books I’ve read/listened to have been unique。 While the cast of characters are young， it doesn’t define them。 And I connected with Sloane and rooted for her to figure things out and end up safe。Jess Nahikian does a fabulous job narrating the audiobook。 I couldn't wait until I had time to listen to the book。If you like fast paced， unpredictable thrillers， I’d give this one a shot。 。。。more

This had a YA feel even though these people are supposed to be in their 20’s I feel like they skew younger。This has a culty， unreliable narrator， one of us is lying feel to it with a side of gaslighting。Narrator Jess Nahikian did a really good job everyone had a different voice and accent this was my first book by this narrator but I would definitely pick one again if she is narrating。This did keep me guessing as the why and what was truly going on and how it would unfold and reveal its secrets。 This had a YA feel even though these people are supposed to be in their 20’s I feel like they skew younger。This has a culty， unreliable narrator， one of us is lying feel to it with a side of gaslighting。Narrator Jess Nahikian did a really good job everyone had a different voice and accent this was my first book by this narrator but I would definitely pick one again if she is narrating。This did keep me guessing as the why and what was truly going on and how it would unfold and reveal its secrets。 Okay I did not see the reveal at all that was interesting。 No SpoilersThis is the 2nd book by this author that I have enjoyed， she has quite a few books so will try to make my way through them。This ended up being an interesting story Sloan at times will grate on your nerves but when you are being gaslit you’d probably be annoying too。3 ½ stars I received this audiobook from the publisher Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for a fair and honest review。 。。。more

A camp where you have to sign a two year contract to work based on the training you get。 Seems legit to this main character。 After all。 She just needs out of her current life situation。 Yet when she finds the journal of the missing person she is replacing and then starts to hear the stories of the missing people in the woods she starts to realize maybe this job was too good to be true - on paper。 Definitely a page turner。 The end was a little predictable， saw it coming。 I received an advance rev A camp where you have to sign a two year contract to work based on the training you get。 Seems legit to this main character。 After all。 She just needs out of her current life situation。 Yet when she finds the journal of the missing person she is replacing and then starts to hear the stories of the missing people in the woods she starts to realize maybe this job was too good to be true - on paper。 Definitely a page turner。 The end was a little predictable， saw it coming。 I received an advance review copy for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。 。。。more

Are you kidding me？ Listening to the audiobook， I was able to increase the speed of the narrator and enjoy the production。 There was creepy and a few eye rolls however I'm engaged and following along。 After a bit the actions and characters appear juvenile。 I think this is a young adult book。 And until late in the book when the author checked off what is apparently obligatory swearing， I was enjoying the light thriller。 I'm just able to shake my head。 The author is closing the story。 There aren't Are you kidding me？ Listening to the audiobook， I was able to increase the speed of the narrator and enjoy the production。 There was creepy and a few eye rolls however I'm engaged and following along。 After a bit the actions and characters appear juvenile。 I think this is a young adult book。 And until late in the book when the author checked off what is apparently obligatory swearing， I was enjoying the light thriller。 I'm just able to shake my head。 The author is closing the story。 There aren't that many pages left， and there are a lot of unanswered questions。 The ending was rushed and thrown together。 It could have been so much more。 Thank you NetGalley for accepting my request to read and review Widow Falls。 #NetGalley#WidowFalls#NarratorJessNahikian#KierstenModglin#DreamscapeMedia 。。。more

Widow Falls by Kiersten Modglin is a cascading twisty thriller which is what I have come to expect from one of my favorite dependable authors。Sloane has taken a job as a guide at an infamous whitewater rafting camp signing a two year contract。 Why is it infamous？ Well partly is the legend of how it got its name Widow Falls。 Let's just say foul play may have been involved with the fallen widow。 The other parts are the rumors of missing personnel。 Sloane is told the guide， Landry， she is replacing Widow Falls by Kiersten Modglin is a cascading twisty thriller which is what I have come to expect from one of my favorite dependable authors。Sloane has taken a job as a guide at an infamous whitewater rafting camp signing a two year contract。 Why is it infamous？ Well partly is the legend of how it got its name Widow Falls。 Let's just say foul play may have been involved with the fallen widow。 The other parts are the rumors of missing personnel。 Sloane is told the guide， Landry， she is replacing left quickly on her own。 Others say she just disappeared one night。 Then Sloane finds Landry's hidden journal and what is the truth is even more outrageous。Sloane has suffered from paranoia due to her parent's violent death and narrator Jess Nahikian brings her fears and doubts to the forefront in this story to heightened the listener's confusion of what is believable and what is unbelievably revealed at the end; making this a fun adventurous thriller ride。I received a free copy of this audiobook from the publishers via #NetGalley for a fair and honest review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

I’ve read a good bit of this authors books and I have to say， all of them have been very decent。This is another good thriller that moves quickly & keeps you guessing。 She’s the master of tricks & turns and this one is no different。 I figured out the premise behind it pretty early on， but as others have mentioned the ending to this one is wild and unpredictable。3。5/5 stars for me

What could possibly go wrong at a remote whitewater-rafting camp？ Why should Sloane be nervous when the camp is infamous for the haunting tales and many people who have gone missing？ Modglin has written another gripping thriller。 If you are a fan of outdoor adventure， suspense， and plot twists， this book is right up your alley。 Jess Nahikian narrates the story and brings on the creepy。 This book is published as of today ~ December 13th！ Thank you to Libro。Fm and Dreamscape Media for the ALC。

This book was gonna be my first 5 star book of 2021， until the last chapter。 It reads strangely， and takes a bit to figure out who is speaking。 For a book that kept me entrigued so fully to fall apart at the last chapter was disappointing。
