Thanks to Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with a copy for review.For two years, Megan, Peter, and their two older daughters, Alexis and Hannah, dream of nothing but being reunited with the family’s youngest child, Emma, who was kidnapped just before her third birthday. With 2 million copies of her titles sold world wide, Steena Holmes was named in the Top 20 Women Author to read in 2015 by Good Housekeeping. I think a smarter resolution or a double bluff twist, as I had hoped for, might have bumped this higher for me but overall it was average in its genre. Perhaps it wouldn't be the specific scenario you'd guess but most definitely the overall outcome was predictable.Īside from that, the plot moves along at a good pace and the chapter lengths are at that perfect thriller/page-turner size so even if you don't love the whole story, you wouldn't be annoyed at the time invested in reading it because it is a speedy read.
I was really hoping that the set-up for the twist was a double bluff because it felt so obvious but unfortunately it went in exactly the direction you'd expect. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. There's nothing original here that had me hooked but at the same time it was a quick read and I never felt bored despite having a fairly firm knowledge about what the twist would be.
