Taking a long time to finish. I guess not the best book as I am not dying to finish it. Lots of unimportant details to make the book longer. Book drags. Juvenile writing.

I finished with questions that I could find no answer for and also wondered why so many meaningless details were included. I thought the ending was kind of ridiculous.

This was a show-stopper for sure! Creepy, atmospheric and chilling to the bone. This book explores humanity and themes of inherent goodness and badness. Laurel's daughter went missing ten years ago and, although, Ellie's remains were…

Wow! Slow to start I thought, but then… the chapter came that told Noelle’s story line & WAIT, WHAT DID SHE JUST DO TO HER?! Then I couldn’t put the book down until I was done … Talk about twisted for sure, but nicely written.

Weird, dark, disturbing and highly improbable.

Overall I liked this book a lot. For myself personally the first quarter of it was a bit slow to get me hooked but by halfway through I didn’t want to put it down. If it is a slow start for you too, I do recommend sticking with it as it…

I really enjoyed this book! It was well written, and I enjoyed the different perspectives. It was a heartbreaking story, but it also gave some hope, and was very bittersweet. This author has a new fan in me!

Then she was gone had a mysterious story, and I was dying to read it! The aftermath of Ellie’s disappearance & Poppy’s connections to it was super eerie to read. My only problem with the storytelling was the two parts of the “then” and…

Honestly, such a great mystery novel. Sad, but bittersweet. It was absolutely a page turner!

Very different but also a little predictable from the beginning. It was a page turner for sure. I enjoyed this book.

Have you ever playfully led a cat through the house by pulling a long piece of yarn slowly until she pounces? Then continue around corners as the yarn becomes irresistible to the kitty? That is my experience reading Lisa Jewell’s novel…

Well written but I think I went into this thinking it was going to be the Scariest! Book! Ever! And it really wasn't. So it was a bit of a let down. The ending tied everything together really well but if I was expecting big thrills. I did,…

This was a fun cold case as a mother investigates the disappearance of her daughter 10 years before. It's somewhat twisty-turny - maybe too much so - but it keeps the interest throughout. I must say, my favourite part of the book was the…

Predictable, yes but still couldn’t put down!!!

Without giving much away, I will say that this is a quick read, but fairly predictable. The many perspectives were an interesting concept, where you were able to hear what was being thought by the various characters. If you enjoyed The…

this book is so dark
Sep 29, 2022LauraSteinert rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
This is a good character study. There isn't a lot of mystery, unless you've never read a missing child book before, but the characters are compelling. I found both the 40-something and 20-something, and the teens completely believable…

This book was good; easy to guess what was going to happen, but overall, good. Readers should be prepared for some triggers: kidnapping, sexual assault, abuse, neglect. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the book.

This was a quick and easy read. It was told like a mystery even though you knew what really happened well before the end. It was still interesting to see how it all unfolded. A good read especially if you are looking for something in…

A riveting novel. The plot is a bit unusual but nonetheless, very good. Half way through the book, they tell you the perpetrator yet not all of the details. A good read until the very end. I went on to check out another one of Lisa…
