My Review:

This was a highly emotional, captivating and gripping read that will stay with me for a long time.

One of my kids going missing is one of my worst fears and I truly felt for Evan’s family when they discover he’s missing. It must be a huge mess of emotions to have your child back but then realise that they are incredibly altered by the experience. I really felt for his parents and grandparents throughout the book as they go through a whole range of emotions.

I thought this was a brilliantly written and well paced book which had me firmly glued to the page. I enjoyed watching the investigation unfold and see the gradual changes to Evan as he adapts back to normal life. It was incredibly powerful to read the story from both the police and the victims point of view as it added a lot of extra weight to the story.

The police investigation was well plotted and very gripping as we follow the detectives on a race against time to find the kidnappers. There were lots of twists and turns that took me by surprise and I often found myself holding my breath as the action unfolded.

This wasn’t an easy read as it follows a difficult subject which naturally brings a lot of emotions to the surface. I often found myself in tears whilst reading and had to go upstairs to give my kids extra hugs. I always think it’s a sign of great writing when an author can make you react so strongly to a story.

This unbelievably is the author’s debut novel and I’m very excited to read more from her in the future. Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Headline for my copy of this book.
