Summer has come to Atlantic City but the boardwalk is empty of tourists, the casino lights have dimmed, and two Jane Does are laid out in the marshland behind the Sunset Motel, just west of town. Only one person even knows they’re there. Meanwhile, Clara, a young boardwalk psychic, struggles to attract clients for the tarot readings that pay her rent. When she begins to experience very real and disturbing visions, she suspects they could be related to the recent cases of women gone missing in town. When Clara meets Lily, an ex-Soho art gallery girl who is working at a desolate casino spa and reeling from a personal tragedy, she thinks Lily may be able to help her. But Lily has her own demons to face. If they can put the pieces together in time, they may save another lost girl—so long as their efforts don’t attract perilous attention first. Can they break the ill-fated cycle, or will they join the other victims? Evocative, eerie, and compelling, Please See Us is a fast-paced psychological thriller that explores the intersection of womanhood, power, and violence. ~taken from Goodreads Wow, oh wow! This is one hell of a debut novel! I was immediately drawn into the story. The characters are well thought out and developed. Every single character has a flaw, which makes them and the lives they live even more realistic and gritty. This book does have it's dark and disturbing instances like drug addition and sexual abuse. Combine that with the backdrop of a once glorious but now crumbling city and it turns into a page-turning mystery that you can't put down. This novel alternates between characters as we get glimpses into the lives of the Jane Does, as well as other main characters. They tell their stories and describe how they came to be dead women in the marsh. It was fun to see how all the characters connect. I hate to give too much away but the ending was satisfying in a weird way. The resolution isn't complete, but it is the perfect ending and I like how there were questions left unanswered. Thanks to Netgalley and Gallery Pocket Books for allowing me the eARC to read and share my honest review. This was a 5 star read for me, and to be honest I am ready to read it again because it was that good! I can;t wait to read more from author Caitlin Mullen! Please See Us is available March 3, 2020 here in the U.S. so preorder now! You do not want to miss this! Happy Reading!
