What We Buried by Kate A. Boorman

Release date: February 26th, 2019
Amazon / Book Depository / Indiebound

Summary (from goodreads): Siblings Liv and Jory Brewer have grown up resenting one another. Liv—former pageant queen and reality-TV star—was groomed for a life in the spotlight, while her older brother Jory, born with a partial facial paralysis, was left in the shadows. The only thing they have in common is contempt for their parents.

Now Liv is suing her mom and dad for emancipation, and Jory views the whole thing as yet another attention-getting spectacle. But on the day of the hearing, their parents mysteriously vanish, and the siblings are forced to work together. Liv feels certain she knows where they are and suspects that Jory knows more than he’s telling . . . which is true.

What starts as a simple overnight road trip soon takes a turn for the dangerous and surreal. And as the duo speeds through the deserts of Nevada, brother and sister will unearth deep family secrets that force them to relive their pasts as they try to retain a grip on the present.

The part where I talk: Again, I really like thrillers and like mysteries and stuff, and this sounds right up my alley.

And I do have a question this week - what's your favourite road trip you've ever been on? If you've never been on one, what's your favourite road trip-themed book or movie?

Peace and cookies,
