dark mysterious tense slow-paced

Review to come.

This was a good concept for a story but was boring in all honesty.

3.5 Un libro "adictivo" donde no puedes dejar de leer porque tienes la necesidad de resolver el crimen, al leerlo vienen a la mente todos esos casos de niñas desaparecidas y hace que se vuelva más interesante la historia. Ese giro al final no estoy segura de si fue algo de mi agrado pero sigo

One of those books where you are certain you've got it all figured out...about 4 different times. This was good!

3,5/5
To było doobre. Może nie najlepsze, ale bardzo intrygujące i wciągające! Napisane też w sposób, który nie pozwalał od książki odejść.

This book is hard to put down, but it’s not a five star book. The writing style is only okay. The plot is pretty good. The thing that keeps you going is the constant twists and suspension. I think every character in this book is a pretty questionable or immoral person.
I honestly picked this up in Asda when I was waiting for another book to arrive, and it filled the gap, it just didn’t overly impress me.

Safe is a tension filled page turner that has you gripped. The sensitive subjects discussed with in it are handled with care. A really engrossing read.

Lazy summer weekend, eating cherries and nectarines and devouring books. Not digital files. Real books with words printed on paper and hard covers and colorful dust jackets. Delivered directly to my door at no cost. There are angels among us, and they work at the library. #spoiledrotten

"Ever wake up from a nightmare and find yourself in a worse one?"
This is similar to a Harlan Coben thriller, but slightly better.
I won't say much about the plot, as there is too much potential for spoilers. Six-year-old Jenny Kristal disappeared twelve years ago. Now she has suddenly reappeared. There are layers of secrets and lies, and you'll spend most of the book trying to figure out who is more full of manure. And who is most dangerous. And you'll probably change your mind a lot. And you'll probably be wrong. And even if you're partially right, you're still wrong. And that's what makes it so irresistibly readable.

The story has what I euphemistically call disturbing themes, so sensitive readers should proceed with caution.
